Pulled up in the Ralliart next to a 91 lancer tonight at the lights after it had pushed and swerved it's way through traffic like a dick...

It had the Panther body kit and stickers all over the back saying 'got boost' 'Speed machine' plus others...

The young P platers gave me a look and revved their stock N/A chatter box...

I just started to laugh at them and kept repeating as I was laughing... 'Got boost, no seriously do you have boost'

They did not seem pleased lol ;)

Has anyone used Project MU handbrake shoes? If so can you please pm me your experience with them and how do you rate them. Also can anyone tell me what other upgrade shoes are out there???

Thanks

Good to see nissan in v8 stupid cars

But its So restricted to match up to ferd and sloden and not even close to a street car

Even holden and ford run old crap for engines not the newer blocks and heads

Give me gt1,2,3 cars instead like England runs

Or play the game like old days , run what you bring and they put you in a class with pretty open rules till they cant beat you , then they ban you from the class like poor losers

Nascars even worse , big babies cant race in rain or on tracks with a few holes or dips , rarely a twisty track either

No such thing as a GT1 Nissan these days series died out as too expensive, GT2 never made, GT3 were too unreliable and liked to sit back and BBQ each race.

New Spec GT3 car for 2013 hopefully Nissan stop acting like spoilt princesses and actually make and sell them... limited to 10 cars what a F'ing joke Nissan your not a fancy rare supercar you pride yourself on the GTR being the affordable hypercar so why make the race version a) sooo expensive ( one of the most expensive GT3 cars) and b) so rare and hard to buy?

also the all GT versions ( GT500, GT1 & GT3) are NOTHING like the street car... I would say about as far away from the street car as V8's are ( well maybe not quite that far)

Oh well Rant over, will enjoy seeing the GTR will be schooled by the Bentley GT3 when it starts competing at the end of the year, not that I am biased ;)

The gt classes are from older days in usa as well not just Europe

They had mental cars , mostly privateers

with little factory backing

wasnt the gtr in england in gt1 ? Sumo car ?!

Just replaced the window motor in my V35, was a b**ch to get it working right (wouldn't go up) - turns out i moved the window so it wouldn't move up properly haha, derr.
worked perfectly now once i figured it out :D

^^^^ I have to put a new door lock mech in my drivers door, which apprently requires removing the window and is a pita of a job ..... I might need some help of someone in the know[i/i] :D

Sadly, since the drivers side door central locking unit is the master, and it is obviously on the wrong side of the car in the USA, you can't buy a USDM lock for our cars :(

Just do the $5 fix (actually about $12 here) - fit an off-the-shelf central locking solenoid to replace the factory one. I did this last year & it works fine, and is much quicker & cheaper than the Nissan solenoid. I bought the solenoid from Jaycar.

But from what I have read from multiple people, if/when the aftermarket solenoid setup fails then you have NO access to your car. Period. Since you have to unhook the stock stuff, if the aftermarket connectors to the stock linkage come loose (and they always do after a period of time in aftermarket kits), then your car is locked shut fairly permanently - as you can't even open the door from inside the car if you climb through the boot. And you can't access it to fix it without opening the door. Go have a read on G35driver.com - there are dozens of horror stories.

Plus, I use my car for work, so an average day it gets locked/unlocked say 50 times - so the usage/wear and tear on it is significantly higher than a normal car.

For the sake of a couple hundred dollars then it will work perfectly for the rest of the life of the car (the newer units are redesigned internally and do not fail like the oem ones did) it is not worth the headache of ever having to fliddle with again imho.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
