Well, according to drive.com.au, looks like Acura is headed to Australia... eventually. Don't know if that's a good thing or not, perhaps like the Americans we can be duped into thinking an Acura ain't a Honda and a Lexus ain't a Toyota, but anyway all you people who stuck those Acura badges on your Integras (and some on their Civics:P), you're dream may just come true;)

I wonder how FWD cars will sell in this bracket. BMW, Mercedes and Lexus - the 3 main ones afaik - are all RWD (except for the ES300, but that's their entry level one based on the Camry). I know if I was after a luxury car, there's no way in hell it'd be a Honda or an Acura.

the latest version of wheels magazine had an article about the possibility of nissan bringing infiniti to the asia pacific region including the JDM and austrralia. I know that its wrong to call a skyline anything but a skyline but i wouldnt be too upset to see infiniti g35's driving around in aus. If thats what it takes to get the skyline into aus as a new car again then i say bring it on!

I'd also love to see Infinti G35s here. They look better than the V35 Skyline in Japan. The rims are bigger and nicer, the kit looks better and the badge is a really nice looking badge. I'd buy one in a second. I think they also get a bit more in the way of luxury items.

they are based on the skyline 350 gtp i think the pop up lcd sat nav screen looks pretty cool

the only drawback of course is that as pentae said they will probably be way too expensive compared to an import skyline. either way i would much rather see some more quality rwd autos on the road rather than more falcodoores. im sure the infiniti g35 would give the monaro a run for his money.

Whats thet you say? Rims are bigger, the kit is better, the G35 looks better than the V35???

Look again, they're almost identicle bar the badge:

rezz when are you getting your skyline? what model are you getting?

rezz is there a series one and a series two model? i have seen two different sedans in pictures one with a small logo in the middle of the boot in what looks like a plastic sqaure on the bootlid with maybe a handle below it and then the cars with skyline in large letters across the boot.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
