Just wanted to share the info to my fellow American Skyline and GT-R owners:

Skyline Syndicate, a small group of devoted enthusiasts is organizing the first ever R's Day at historic Laguna Seca on November 26!

will be expecting plenty of pics and vids!!! :woot:

I'll try to post some up once it comes around. Right now my biggest concern is getting my Nismo R32 all buttoned up in time for it. Of course, when we get that done the big question is which GT-R I'm going to take. Good problem to have I guess lol.

I like the idea that R32 Skylines are now allowed into the US, big market but I wonder if they will spend the type of money for the GTR Skylines as they are now starting to rise in price.

The cars there seemed so cheap compared to OZ's with our crazy luxury import taxes etc and it will be interesting to see if it affects our prices over the next 10 years ?

It will not make any difference to me, I will be in an earn on the mantle or flushed down the crapper :)

Sorry for the delay in replying but I've been out of town.

Too bad I'm in New York or I would go! Lol don't have a GTR but a GTS-T 4 door.

If you could make it the GTS-T would be perfectly welcome. The event is for all Skylines as well as GT-Rs.

As the presidential elections get closer, do you think that purchases of collectible cars will slow down as the economy will probably slow down?

The economy's been pretty healthy (2015 was the highest in history for car sales overall) and R32 prices have steadily risen. If anyone doubts the enthusiasm of the US market for Skylines and GT-Rs, a pristine 1989 that wasn't special other than its low miles sold about 2 months ago at the RM Auctions for $82K USD. Regular R32s GT-Rs are still trading in the $20K range so prices are still crazy. It remains to be seen if that'll settle down as later cars become eligible. It should but Americans obviously love Skylines.

Should be a good time, will be a longer drive from Southern CA, but will be fun.

I'm coming from Arizona so I've got an even longer drive lol.

For some reason quotes don't seem to be working for me right now but to answer the posts above:

- The guys who founded the Skyline Syndicate group are pretty much all West Coasters so that dictated the choice of venue. I agree a more central place like COTA would be nice but of course how this first one works out will have to be seen first.

- B-Turbo, is there something specific you want to ask the organizers? I'm not one of the event organizers but I am part of the FB group so I can try asking for you.

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
