On my way home tonite, was waiting on station street to get on to Albany h/way and this Nissan approaches and looks like the new shaped Nissans, Maxima or Zed shape. As it goes past I see "Skyline" on the back. Far out I think. So follow it up the road a bit and it pulls into Cannington Car Centre. I get out and have a gander @ this thing and find it is a 3.5 litre V6. Speak to the owner, who actually owns the yard and he says that he will be importing them soon, just over $40K 2004 model. Don't particularly like the front tho'. Will get some photos of it tomorrow if it is there.

Yeah thats a mate of mine who owns the car yard there in Vic Park, Autowholesale, same guys as the yard in Cannington. They are the R35s, I like them but think the same about getting away from the Skyline aura! Hopefully the prices of the R34s come down! The Skyline concept car they went on about a while back is very nice, hope they bring that out!!

thats true, i think it has to have at least a turbo version of it as well as a non-turbo.

i rekkon if those rear lights stay like that (circle-less) then it's gonna be the first time people are gonna want to change those into the round traditional lights dating back to my doc 30...

thats what i say to my friends anyway, skylines are one of the rare cars that has no need to change the tail lights into the lexus/chrome kinda styles... i feel like that's gone out the window now...

*disclaimer: strictly my opinion, no one has to agree with me whatsoever. :)

Im not a big fan of it hey.. V6 non Turbo.. sure people say they have as much power as a turbo skyline but geshhh.. come on we all love that turbo feeling + its just way 2 damn modern / year 2030 design for me.

* I hope this quote doesnt get used to make me look like an As5 when they become the hottest car on the road...

:P

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
