Finding Nismo


Recommended Posts

Not really Nismo but close enough but I had a no: 65 of the original first run GT500 "RRR" Block but its been recently sold and it's on a boat to Oz and will soon be with new owner.

Really Ash? I had the full kit in a V35, including sway bars, and it was one of the best I've ever used. Of course the V35 was purely a street car with a few track days for good measure. But loved the ride in it and did all right at the track as well

I thought the Nismo Super GT Cars all used RRR Blocks..?

Hence it is a Nismo item...

Oh No Simon!

Surely not this one that my OCD took off your car on Sunday whilst you were out?

Don't worry! I put a rag in the hole!

I'd feel guilty otherwise...

Actually there's another recent version isn't there - looking somewhat like a - I dunno - a hub cap???

That black centred one of Richard looks you beaut tho'

That matches my radiator cap, do want....

More Nismo-Nuts on these last two pages...

I think "NISMO" could probably sell his User Name for a price ;)

I have an old-style Nismo Badge Luke that you're welcome to pick up. New too - but attached to a board!

If Luke doesn't want it, someone else can have it.

Meanwhile,...

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
