Hi Guys,

I bought a MY12 on Friday in Sydney and drove it home overnight to Qld. Gun Metal Grey colour with 3400km in showroom condition. I have already bought a Willall midpipe and will have that installed when I get my safety inspection done this week for Qld registration.

I had been searching for a black one for months but settled for this grey one.....great news is I reckon it's the best colour of all now :) I'm very impressed with the overall performance so far but looking to up the ante a bit of course!!! All I can say is that I LOVE that launch control lol !!!!

I owned a highly modded R33 a few years back but overall it was a bit of a horror story for me with carjackings and blown engines etc, so now looking for a fresh and positive new start to GTR ownership :)

I have a heap of newbie questions so hope you guys can be patient with me while I get a grasp on this new beast that I own!!!!

Mark.

Mark, looks fantastic.. I like the Gun Metal Grey, that and the Blue are my two favourite colours for the GTR.. Would have been fun having that Drive Back to stretch its legs.. I have family in Maleny who i visit regularly , might see you on the road around Sunshine Coast..

Cheers.. Mike..

I've only ever seen 1 R35 on the Sunshine Coast cruising down Hastings St but have 4 separate sightings out Maleny way. I travel out west through Maleny every Thursday and have seen 3 down in Landsborough and there was one in the main St in Maleny a few weeks back. It must be all the nice roads out that way!! I'm always up for a cruise too......

That was that the one on carsales in sydney. How much did you end up paying for it?

I paid 161k and just looked tonight and there's another listed in Vic.....same colour,same year, EXACTLY the same kms but is listed at 159.5k. Serves me right for getting back on Carsales after I already bought one lol.

I was actually negotiating with Suttons @ Chullora on the black my12 that's listed. It was listed at $165,900 and we were negotiating from there. I thought for sure I had it as they even took my cc for a deposit. Next thing I get a call and they tell me they are putting the price up!!! I checked that night and the ad had been updated....kms jumped from 3000 to 6000 and the price jumped all the way up to 172,900. No idea wtf is the go with that???? Anyway the very next day I was booking flights to Sydney to buy my grey one and now very happy that it worked out that way :)

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
