Porn, post up the pics when its done. I saw one in the flesh in Achiharbra, looked fantastic.

When I have all the parts and the car I will start a new thread with the progress

Will probably be around Febuary by the time a get a car from Japan. Need to sell my R33 which will be ready for sale in about 3 weeks. Blame the wife for the hold up!

Cheers chris,

I checked your one also while searching but it was a bit out of our price range.

Did you put in the new exhaust? What kind is it? Size etc...

Ive been trying to source some exhausts but they arent cheap.  :blink:

Nah I didnt put my exhaust on, its coming like that from Japan :D Exhaust is a Fujitsubo Legalis R... at $1100 new they certainly arent the cheapest of exhausts :O

I believe Alex has a custom catback for sale.....If I didnt already have one, I would probably buy it :D

Cheers,

Chris

Infact, i just got a random message from someone on monday about my exhaust, he is sending me a money order in the post as we speak.

Look in my thread about the fujitsubo exhaust, its really a damn nice exhaust. Four of us on this forum have that exhaust terminal, me, chris and muck...

The Stagea arrived today :)

WOW! what a car. I was very impressed.

I get my license back on friday and Im keen as to go for a drive in it.

(Also hell keen to take my R33 for a spin) :)

Checked out Alex's exhaust thread, some good info and the sound files are also handy :D cheers.

Im curious as to where you guys got them from?

Did you buy localy or import them?

Was the $1100 price for the back pipe and muffler or the whole system including cat and front pipe?

Are the front pipe and cat the same as R33 GTST?

Sorry, more noob questions :angry:

My Fuji was airmail from japan from www.revzone.com.au (also my tuning shop)

Was $1100 with a short wait

My cat was $440 (R33 GTST) on top of that and my single split front/dump was $395 (R33 GTST) and required a little bit of modification to fit ($50 worth, probably design issue being split)

So my total exhaust spend was $1945 + the $240 I lost on my first custom catback.

Good luck with it :angry:

Nice buy, gR33ddy!

Mine's dark green as well. You might have leather (which I would have liked, along with the twin sunrooves), but mine's been converted to manual by the previous owner!!!

Are you in Sydney? If that's the case, then we have to get a group together soon for a meet-up.

Cheers,

Sweet. Another green one and in NSW :D

We got the Auto for the missus.

She can drive manual but prefers the simplicity of the auto ;)

Im actually located south of Batemans Bay so probably a bit too far for a cruise unfortunately.

I think the nearest stagea to us is in either canberra or nowra?? not 100% sure but?

Anyone know how many stageas there are in OZ?

Meh, oh well. A fair hike, indeed, but I am hoping to come to Canberra shortly to visit some family... That's probably the closest I'll get for a while.

I finally got to drive the stagea and was very impressed with it.

Should feel even better with the suspension/handling upgrade.

I noticed a scraping sound from the right font wheel/rotor area while drivng.

The sound gets faster as I drive faster.

The pads are new and the Rotors have just been machined.

Any ideas?? :)

      Pre purchase inspections

      By Therry · Posted

      I'm in the market for 370GT.  I live in Canberra and not much available so I'm looking interstate.  Can anyone recommend an inspection service with expert knowledge of Skylines? Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide (Elizabeth area)

      High EGT mystery

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A million years later, searching for something else I posted, I was reminded of this thread. I eventually bought a new gauge. Put it in using the same probe (which has been installed the whole time stopping the exhaust gas from coming out the hole) and.... normal service has been resumed. The old gauge was definitely broken. /semi-pointless closure.

      They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.

      370GT ( Type SP ) - Sedan - Cruise Control - Forced Induction - EcuTek

      By MrCodZilla · Posted

      Hey Team, A bit to unload here. Hello from New Zealand I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT ( Type SP ) Auto 7 Speed, that I've had since 2022 and have loved the car since. Its painted in its factory QAB ( White Pearl ) with the Impul front lip and rare boot lid/spoiler with woodgrain interior. Mods since I've bought it and installed: Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes Motordyne Shockwave Catback Exhaust JDM Skyline Taillights Fake carbon spoiler and front grill ( Will be taking off.... its cringe ) VR30DETT Transmission from the Q50/Q60 to hold up to 550 Foot pounds of Torque ( 753 nm ) reliable  Currently I plan to turbo the car and have all the parts needed ( Photo Included ), I have my tuning day set on August 8th and choosing EcuTek as my tuning platform. Two of my work colleagues has their 370Z ( Manuel ) and 370GT coupe ( Type SP - Manuel ) also turbo'd and they have inspired me to get it done I have prepped quite a wee bit for this, as I had done the VR30 transmission swap over to this car so that I can achieve my HP goals without torque being an issue. I've taken quite a cautions route, as im always thinking about the safety as well as performance with my build, I'd rather do it properly and not cut corners etc etc. Any who, I've recently picked up the AutoStrada cruise control kit with all the included cables/wires/instructions. I've been hella researching around and can't find much on the integration that it has with the ECU and/or system. the only reason why im asking is, because I'm getting EcuTek and one of them RaceRom features allows the ability to switch maps via the cruise control function, which I am currently in the grey area if this would add-on via the Canbus will allow me to switch maps or have the option to use Cruise Control to begin with ( showing up on the instrument cluster to advise Cruise Control being set etc etc )  Because of my model being Type SP, Cruise Control on these models was never an option from factory unfortunately.  Anyone here that is able to shed some light on if the Cruise Control via AutoStrada gives OEM ability over the cruise control. Would love and appreciate any response and/or assistance with this, also happy to answer any question about my build and ill try pitch in where I can. Warm Regards,

      I thought the only (new) BM57 that was readily available was the one that was a BM57 but with the wrong bias. HFM or someone's?
