Just had a look in the newsagents quickly on the way back to the office and the pictures they are going on about are just "concept" photos of the next gtr. The pic they have is a cross between the original gtr concept car and a v35. I dont know but it looks to me like its just more crap about what the next gtr "could be like".

Hopefully someone can post up the article and dont forget the sidebar which is titled GTR rumours ( should probably also say that all the bad ones were printed in speed)

Luckily there is no mention of a V8 anywhere :D

:)

I'll go out on a limb and say that the Speed article goes on about 'e-4WD', the Lithium battery power source for the front wheels/turbos and something about 'Keyboard warriors'... hahaha lol

:):D:(

you people at speed have got it all wrong, the next gen skyline is based on the 180b datsun only longer with the rb26dettt in the rear..... and you can quote me on that one

great... $10 says this appears in the next issue as fact.

good one rsx84!!! :thumbsup:

Lol keep it going guys... :)

well she brought it around today and i was going to read the entire thing after seeing the pic until i got to the article and read....

"This is the most convincing IMAGE to date.... The image is an AMALGAM of a real car and computer trickery...."

nuff said.... no need to read.

omg... someone's scalped rezz... :) no more exclusive's for SAU then?

BTW you gotta get back to me about the domain stuff, and also the custom colour schemes for the Japan section...

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • 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. 🤣
