Maybe I saw a lower spec one when they first came out
Theres two "specs", the 350GT, and the 350GT Premium... I'd say you saw the 350GT with the smaller wheels, non-brembo brakes etc.
(remember the 3.5Ls weren't out at first)..
The V35 Skyline Coupe only comes with a 3.5L VQ35DE.

rezz when are you getting your skyline? what model are you getting?
I'm getting 2(!) V35 Coupe 350GT Premiums... oh, and by the way lads, an R32 GTS-T Type M is just around the corner too...
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.
Yes, I know what you're talking about (sedans). I believe the base spec 250GTm model has the large letters across the boot, and the 300GT and 350GT's have the handle... but don't quote me, a couple of months back, what I thought was a 250GT with the small handle on the bootlid turned out to be a 300GT :Oops:

Ahh, I see then. That'd probably be what I saw.

Didn't know that about the coupe either. Thanks.

thanks rezz i didnt think i was going insane. the pics on the nissan japan site were a little confusing as you cant really make out the model numbers on the back of the sedans but they had photos of both the boot types on there and although i can read some of the words there was no descriptions of the pictures

you are so lucky to be in japan you get all the great stuff and all the mods you can buy over there are insane :( are you planning on doind many mods to your 2!! skylines?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
