So since Toowoomba has none that I'm yet to see, and I really want to go in an R35, would any GC owners be up to take me for a spin in one, just to feel what sort of power they produce etc? I don't want to drive it (unless you're offering/cool with it), but would just love to be in one!

I'm visiting the GC from tonight till very early Saturday morning, if anyone is able to help me out it would be greatly appreciated!

PM on here, or text 0413475969. Will be staying in Jacobs Well

It is ashame you don't live on the West Coast, I know someone who would be sure to consider it.

If you really want a go in one, go to a GTR dealership. Just saying, most of the peoples here don't do joy rides.

Why slap down a fellow GTR lover? You sound like a stuck up frazza driver with a silly prancing horse on the bonnet, and red shoes to match!!!!!!!

:domokun:

Who slapped who? I thought I just stated the obvious..

A friend of mine did that once helping out a member of a car club - ended up getting carjacked and their pride & joy used in a ram raid not long after. Not saying this guy would do it, but I wouldn't be opening my door for anyone I didn't know when $168k is on the line.

Maybe when you've worked your preverbial a55 off to own something that awesome & expensive, you'll share the same feeling. I bet I'm not the only one who is thinking the same way - which probably accounts for the lack of hands raised in this thread..

Oh, and I'm not a "stuck up frazza" driver, and never will be. Have owned nothing but Jap cars all my life.

Lol you’re joking right!

Nissan dealers are the biggest bunch of wankers you’ll ever deal with, least the ones in Sydney anyway. They won’t even let you sit in one! You get lines like ‘Oh we can’t find the keys’ or ‘pay a deposit equal to the full value of the car and we might let you drive it’ What a f..king joke. The problem is that Nissan thinks the sun shines out their arse with this car forgetting that the rest of their cars are ugly and boring as batshit. Go to a Merc or a Porsche dealership and they’re literally throwing keys at you for cars of similar value. The most professional, friendly and courteous people you’ll ever deal with. I was a genuine interested buyer of an R35 and I clearly indicated to the dealer that I did not want to test drive the car but wanted one of their sales team to take me for a quick spin so I could get a feel for what the car was like. Nope not a chance. The GT-R is an awesome car, what shame it’s sold by a bunch of half-wits and dickheads. I’ll be buying 2nd hand and privately when the time comes!

You will not like this then,when i was looking to buy 9 months ago (perth)i took a 2011 for a test drive on a saturday morning then a 2009,when i got back to the dealer i asked if i could keep the 09 for the rest of the week-end,they said i could,ended up buying the 09 a few days later.

Yea I've heard the dealers in WA are a heap better.

Indeed they are much better. Magic Nissan in WA flew me over to test drive my 2010. Deal was done very easily and without a deposit, couldn't have been more happy with Nissan.

Maybe you look a bit dodgy GT-R OZie :woot:

Nup, not joking, especially on the "joy rides" part....

Maybe you should buy a Porsche or a Merc especially if they're willing to suck your c0ck to get you buy a car LOL

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
