hehe... time for the good old smackdown... never get tired of using this gif :D

v35_not_r35.gif

:D R36 :D R35 :rofl: based on R34 design... gold!

its almost as good as hearing every single ex-honda owning US drift/togeh bandwagon jumpin ricer buying a 240sx and recommending all his forum buddies to put RB engines into their cars coz its "JDM TYTE Y0".

ok so i retract my previous statement i thought the information i had was correct so if your right

what is the picture that i posted of?

and where do i buy r33 gt-r parts in the us does anyone know?

oh and by the way i am a "yank" and do you guys really call us that?

why who r u? do u work for nissan or something id hope so big call to say "tell this guy who i am" haha u sound like a god

^^^ lol... well now you know who I am :rolleyes:

Hi, I think those skyline coupes look good, I mean every car has its supporters. I dont like R33's, the only exception being the GTR with its pumped guards. The v35's do look a bit like the 350Z but that isnt such a bad thing.

I cant really see R35/36 GTR breaking GTR tradition, from a looks point of view most of the base model Skylines look ok (except for a couple) and the GTR has always been the one with a more agressive and purposeful look.

p.s. For a Z / Skyline looks comparison; check the nissan site out.

go down to the bottom and select 'Fairlady Z' and then Skyline and see how similar they are, they nearly line up perfectly!!!

so i have a few questions you say the next skyline is going to be a v35 or something along those lines not an r35 but the newest issue of sport compact car says that nissan is building to the release of the new r35 gt-r with the release of the 05 nismo Z-tune r34 (which oddly enough is the most ridiculous car ever).

so what is really going on are they going to stick with the cars they have released for you guys over here or are they actually going to produce a new gt-r (infinit or non)?

Sport Compact Car? Hmmmmm... those guys *literally* have as much chance as I do of getting info about the next GT-R (and I know they make big bucks). They just named it R35 GT-R in their article because they're just following what 10,000,000,000 newbies on the 'net have been calling it since 2001.

Put it this way: SCC are in it to make money... they make money by selling magazines... they sell magazines by printing articles that people want to read... they print articles with next to no *real* content for that reason only, selling mags. So I'm not suprised they called it R35, as they could've called it ZZR TUNE 000-7 Type T super Turbo Ricemobile and still sold mags...

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
