Just to let everyone know, if you are going to buy a Nissan Skyline or other up market car, the best option is Road & Road and Track Australia. I purchased my Nissan Skyline V36 SP 2006 Sedan of them, I only seen it in photos and I live on the Sunshine Coast QLD and they are in Sydney. Gavin walked me through his web site over the phone and BAM, WOW I purchased the car of him and man did I get what I wanted, NO I got even MORE, what a car, unbelievable value for money. They were the only ones that could show and guarantee the K's on the car. I tried others and when I mentioned about providing proof of K's NO ONE answered back, only GAvin from Road and Track in Sydney. I couldn't even dream the type of car I received from them and they sent it to me in QLD, I picked it up yesterday. I nearly wet my pants with excitement, amazing, the smell of leather just like a brand new can with 50000K's you would pick it, its just like a new car in and out, goes like a rocket, just like a 1100cc road bike, I think it would leave the bike behind. No wonder they don't allow P plate's drive the car. they would kill them selves on the fist corner. So if you want a car buy it from Gavin. NO MATTER where you live you will receive better than you expected. Just look at the types of cars he provides for people like us. A1+++++. Don't be a foll and buy else where, you are mad if you do. WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO Gavin thanks heaps. Your the MAN.

Have you ever been on a motorbike? A 600 would smash your car.....

That said, I purchased my 370 from Gavin, and can vouch for the above...with the exception of near breaches of urine, and apparent twin turbo systems allowing you to defeat 1100cc bikes.

Got curious so checked out their site. Found this. Interesting and good on em.

All cars sold by Road and Track are covered by our Mileage Guarantee. All our vehicles have full documented history including service history and log books. For our vehicles imported from Japan, Road and Track have also pioneered odometer certification checks performed in Japan by an independent certifier, who issue the vehicle with an odometer certificate that confirms the authenticity of the odometer reading.

Road and Track are pioneers – Never before has an importer of Japanese vehicles been able to offer a mileage guarantee – Road and Track guarantees all our vehicles!

We are confident you won’t buy better anywhere else! Talk with our sales team today!

These cars are actually P Plate legal in QLD, as are 350z....

Tony, can you provide documentation on this? Does it stretch to Learners as well? Everywhere I've looked says they're QLD banned. Edited by Simink

TMR website.

The existing definition will continue to apply to cars manufactured before 1 January 2010. Under this definition a car is a high-powered vehicle if it has:

an engine with 8 or more cylinders

a turbocharged or supercharged engine that is not diesel powered

an engine with a power output of more than 210kW

a rotary engine with an engine capacity of more than 1146cc

an engine modification that must be approved under section 13 of the Transport Operations (Road Use Management—Vehicle Standards and Safety) Regulation 2010 (PDF, 831KB).

http://www.qld.gov.au/transport/licensing/driver-licensing/applying/provisional/restrictions/index.html

These cars are marketed as producing 206kw,hence legal.

an engine with a power output of more than 210kW

These cars are marketed as producing 206kw, hence legal.

Not doubting you, but everywhere I've looked they've been more around the 215-220kw+ mark.

I'll have to do some more digging on that! :yes:

To certify K's is with the full log book service history showing K's on each service from the 1st purchase date. Also when the car is registered for the 1st time it will show K's and each year when the renewal of rego it shows the K's every time. JEVIC is the company that certifies odometers and supplies a certificate of authenticity, when it's true and correct. http://www.jevic.com/services/vehicle-maritime-inspections/odometer-verification. This is what my car came with.

Also I would love to see what would really happen if you put the V36 SP againts any bike, I don't think the 600 would beat it to the 100k's p/h. It would be great to see.

LOL!!

Have you ever ridden a bike in your life?

Most 600cc Sportbikes will do 0-100 in about 4 secs. A twin turbo V36 would barely even do that with drag radials!

My old Suzuki SV 650 was about 50kW and it still did 0-100 in around 4 secs. A stock V36 does 5-5.5 secs......

Not doubting you, but everywhere I've looked they've been more around the 215-220kw+ mark.

You are correct, the 206kw figure is only for the VQ35DE in the V35 and pre 2005 350Z.

The V36 has the VQ35HR engine rated at 230KW and is therefore restricted for p-plate drivers.

I don't think the 600 would beat it to the 100k's p/h. It would be great to see.

You would need to go against a 600cc sports bike that is actually trying.. you wouldn't have a chance!

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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.
