Not RB powered (VQ30DET) but I had never seen one of these before last week when I saw this (actual) one:

out at uni and thought "wtf is that" and looked them up on the net...

Plus there's a newer one for considerably more cash:

Looks like they are both the same seller. Please note I am not affiliated with this seller nor am I trying to give him/her free advertising...I just thought this might be of interest to fans of the more obscure Nissan turbo models.

Thats Mark aka XVLeo on here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/me...ber.php?u=11390

The new one is his, I believe the older one is his brothers... He lived in .jp for a few years and brought the Y33 back with him...

I've had a close look at this thing in the flesh and it's AWESOME!!! No slouch and pimp as it gets...

This car looks awesome in the flesh. Mark's taken very good care of it and I'm suprised he's selling it.

We were discussing the night we saw it that it was very american looking with the rear lights.

I also like the look of the older Leopards. I'm wondering whether he will swap for a VL ;)

thats dam nice ! ....looks like a cross between a large silvia and U12 pintara/ maxima

because it is known and sold as a Maxima in the states...do a search online.

Certainly different, not a very popular car in Japan the late Leopard.

But the early Leopard was, if you can still find any in good nick. Certainly worth dropping an RB26 from the one I saw at the garage.

edit, was thinking of another which required modification to the firewall.

I like the 97 model VERY VERY much...

Y33 Leopards started in 1996 were all 4AT and powered by VG20E, VG25DE, VG30E, VG30DE, VG30DD, VQ30DE and VQ30DET.

You could say it was Nissan's car against the Toyota Aristos as they weighted between 1540kg - 1630kg.

There was also a RB25DET version with 4WD but she weighted 1700kg!

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅

      Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).

      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.

      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?
