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.

Exactly!!! Hopefully this means an end to $600 nismo keys lol

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
