Found this in a car yard when I was in Dubai last time. 4000km on the clock. Appart from being dirty and someone had badged it, It was like brand new and went for a steal. 110,000 Dirham's. That converts to around $40,000 aus. I couldn't believe it. I was a day late, It had already been bought by a mad Scottsman that was working over there. Dubai is a great place f you want to get really cheap car's.

I believe John's old R34GTR came from Dubai

.... and those photos of the red R34GTR - 4,000km my ass - it had a big single aftermarket turbo on it .... you don't do that to a brand new car - surely???!!!!

Oh, and Hi Greg, hope your Middle East trip is going well! ;)

they also wear some pretty weird clothes. i havent seen anyone in a white looking kimono in a 10 second gtr before. if they are as fanatical as their cars as they are in their attire then we should see some crazy cars from the middle east soon. good to see the skylines are getting some world-wide recognition that they deserve!!

It does take a bit to get used to, them wearing the white x-ray gowns.

Either way, I'd tend to stay away from Dubai, I understand it is very much Westernised but none the less there is still a high risk.

I thought the same until i was there. It is just a big westernised tourist city and the locals know it. Had no problems over there. But, everyone has their own opinion on the matter:)

    • UPDATE: Yes the GSP Axles are compatible. I installed it on my R34 today and they are working a treat! Turns out that the S13, S14, S15, and 200 SX all used the same axles as the HR34, and ER34 NA models. Which is 2 bolt x 3 pairs.  
    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing
