Nissan heritage parts programme

Not sure if there's any weight behind this article but Nissan will apparently be re-commencing production of performance parts for past models

Over the past few years I've noticed from my own experience that getting your hands on performance parts for a GTR particularly anything nismo has become a rarity so good news if this is legit. Expect some crazy prices for parts though

And this would have nothing to do with the 25 year rule in the USA and Nissan wanting to cash in on this new market.

Factory parts plus GTR tax plus Nismo tax equals great profit margin for Nissan.

Legitimately what are gonna be your options once(if) this goes live? Pricey as they are they might still manage to undercut the rare unique parts by even a little bit. Plus OE will ensure that the remaining Skylines that haven't been tracked, drifted or riced stay in as close to mint condition as possible. Also the option to convert a modified vehicle you buy from someone else back to stock anyone?? If they are above your budget, you probably aren't the right person to be owning a 20 year old car, and a Skyline to boot. Obviously value is different to certain people, if you intend to prep your car for the track you might go with cheaper options while someone who intends to keep their Skyline as a more show style car will pay top dollar.

It will at least regulate the used parts market.

some of the crazy drug money prices will need to be justified, and even if its pricey, brand new genuine gear is excellent news for us, not having relying on 25 year old integral parts.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
