Greetings...or g'day. My name's Evan, I'm here from New York visiting Australia and Sydney for a bit. Life-long motoring enthusiast with a particular affection for Honda (hence the username), but with a soft spot for Nissan as well.

As you probably know, we are not so fortunate as to have GT-R's aside from R35's in the States. I've had the opportunity to command a few R35's back home, and don't get me wrong, they are amazing machines. But the R32, R33 and particularly the R34 are the stuff of legends are made of.

That said, I was wondering if anyone here would be kind enough to take me for a spin in their GT-R on one of your world renowned mountain roads. Not asking to drive, just a ride at the hands of someone who knows how to drive their machines...without killing me.

In addition to fulfilling the wishes of an appreciative yank, the experience will be featured on a popular blog that a few of my mates and I run back home, IvyLeagueEast: wwww.ivyleagueeast.com. We have a pretty large audience so you'll get a bit of exposure, including about 85,000 likes on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IvyLeagueEast

Please post or message if you're interested. Located in Sydney Inner West.

I'm also attending the Bathurst Motor Festival this weekend. If you're gonna be around that way give me a shout, would love to shoot the shite with a few locals as well.

Few pics attached. One of me behind the wheel of an R34 M-Spec, the first RHD car I drove here (complete with shit eating grin). Others of my own Nissan's back home: '13 Fairlady 370z with Volk Re-30, coils, pipes, etc.; '73 240z; not pictured an SR swapped S13 with GT28 and bolt ons that I built with a few of my mates.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
