People saying that you void a warranty by turning the VDC off are misinformed. In the United States (where we do not live) Nissan will deny a warranty claim on a drivetrain component if they can prove using the past 36hrs of recorded data in the black box device the owner was abusing the car. One of the details recorded in that is VDC state as well as other indicators as to what the car was doing. Suffice to say it is easy for them to combine several points of data and say you repeatedly launched the car X many times in the past 36hours of driving. They will then make a judgement call and possibly deny the warranty claim. To continue to spread such baseless rumours and consider them fact is quite annoying really especially on this forum where you're probably a Nissan enthusiast...

nice work Gary!

Correct. It's JohnTurbo's from NAGTROC. I've been closely following the build and racing of his car. Kicked off the drag strip when he ran an 11.04 (not using launch control) he put a cage in the car and went back out there and tried some more. Never did run a 10.9 though so he's now building it further to demolish the current record. Pretty much out of fuel at the boost he's running at the moment so needs injectors.

Yep. Singapore is very tiny but there's a lot of money there. Over 130 GT-Rs already in the country and they can import any RHD car at any time with no particular restrictions. Except the huge tax they pay. Very densely populated with GT-Rs. I saw plenty and drove one on my last trip there. Nice people in their GT-R owners club too.

Indeed. A guy I know of has run over 100 1/4 mile passes since owning his, has 60+ launches on the gearbox, makes 600hp and his GT-R eats it up. He is actively willing the gearbox to break but it just doesn't... I still wouldn't kick one out of bed...

More changes leaked out today, official announcement 8th of December:

The car has proven good for 11's with no LC on the drag strip and sub 4s 0-100 without LC in the hands of private owners. This is with the crap they call petrol in the US as well. Launch control might be fun but no doubt far too much stress on a car to have as an everyday feature.

Nice one Kel! Top bit of navigating too btw!

Not sure what it's rated for. The core is 600x300x73. It looks like it'd flow quite well.

Thanks Steve... First post updated guys.

Sorry Tony, I don't think it will. Thanks to all who bought and picked up tonight. Feedback left for everyone. PMs all replied too. Plenty more items to sell though.

Hi Tony, I believe it's not a direct fit item on a 32. The part is labelled BCNR33. Sorry. Someone else may correct me. Kris

Price drop I have GOT to clear out my cupboards full of GT-R parts. I bought all of these with the intention of using them on my own GT-Rs over the years but since buying it I have not had the time to organise the build or fitment of them really. Quite sad to see them all go in brand new or near new condition but that's life. So here's a list of what there is and you can find photos below. Location: All parts are in Sydney and are available for pickup or post. Contact details: Please PM me on the forums or email me at: [email protected]. Conditions of sale: Buyer pays all postage, I'm not a shop, all sales are final Payment accepted: Cash for pickup or Direct Deposit for postage Standard R33 GT-R Coil Packs Suit any standard or mild tune R32, R33 GT-R that might be misfiring on one cylinder under boost. These never misfired on me and I replaced mine with splitfires purely because i was impulse buying in Japan... Price: $100 Tomei RB26 Type-B Pon Cam Shaft set and Adjustable Cam Pulley Set This kit is slightly used but still looks new, did about 800km's on a car before the guy sold them to me. I never unpacked them from the box. The adjustable pulleys look brand new too but again, were fitted once to a car and driven a little bit. Packed in original boxes with original plastics. This kit suits RB26 from R32 and R33 only. R34 is slightly different so best to get the proper ones. Specs: Duration 260 degrees in and ex, 9.15mm lift - Standard springs are ok with these. Price: SOLD ARC GT-R Intercooler Suits R32, R33, R34 GT-R. ARC make the most amazing intercoolers and its easy to see why when you open the box. Cast aluminium end tanks mean it's very light (pickup a chinese intercooler and then pickup an ARC - you'll immediately know the difference) and it flows like nothing else. This one is 76mm thick and fits stock location. It's not BRAND NEW but it's ALMOST there and has no flaws or faults. In original packaging still. Specs: PART #MO73GTRG, 73mm thick Core, Fits 32/33/34, standard bolt on fitment Price: SOLD SARD 700cc Injectors with NEW genuine Nissan O-Rings Big enough for big power. These brand new injectors are still in the original plastic bags in original SARD boxes. I will also include original genuine Nissan o-rings with these. To do a full set of o-rings for your injectors requires 18 different bits of rubber. All of them will be included. Price: $800 INCLUDING O-RINGS! These are $1000 injectors by themselves. (click here to compare to nengun) Nismo Fuel Pump to Suit R33 GT-R Flows a lot of fuel, plenty enough to supply for anything a set of GT-SS turbos can dish out. Brand new in plastic still. Comes with fuel pump gasket. Best fuel pump going I reckon because it plugs straight in, fits like the stock one, is nice and quiet and no stuffing around. Price: SOLD HKS GT-SS Twin Turbo Kit Suit R32, R33, R34 GT-R This kit is brand new and never even seen sunlight. It comes with the turbos, the unopened gasket and bolt kit and everything else the kit comes with. Due to the AUD / YEN exchange rate this kit now sells for $5000 from Nengun. Since I bought it when the yen was good I'm not looking for anywhere near that. Price: SOLD Tomei Stainless Steel Dump Pipes These are also brand new. These are the premier quality dump pipes for your RB26. They are superbly crafted. In original box and never fitted to a car. The AUD / YEN exchange rate means these are now a $1100 set of pipes if bought new now but I'm after what I paid for them back when they AUD didn't suck. Price: SOLD Apexi PowerFC and Hand Controller This suits R32 and R33 GT-Rs. This is the LATEST model of Apexi PowerFC for GT-R available. It's not brand new but it's in excellent condition and it's not like it wears out! The hand controller is looking almost new and is packed in original packaging. Price: SOLD Nismo Fuel Pressure Regulator for RB26 Suits R32 - R34. Plugin and go. Very easy to fit and setup. Looks almost stock when done. Price: SOLD GReddy Profec Spec B Spec II Great little electronic boost controller. Used one just like it in my 34 GT-R and liked it so much I bought another one for my R33 GT-R. Didn't take it out of the box though! Brand new condition with all manuals and warranties and maybe even a Greddy sticker. Price: SOLD Superior CIA Leather Seat Trims for R34 GT-R Standard Seats Bought these for my 34 GT-R about 4 years ago and never fitted them. These are the black leather, red stitching with carbon look seat pads set. These can be fitted yourself at home but look better when professionally done. Here's the website: http://www.superior-cia.com/SHOP/229479/229481/list.html Almost 70,000 yen brand new. These are still new and going for just... Price: SOLD Brembo Brake Seal Kit for R32 V-Spec, R33 and R34 GT-R Brakes old? This maintenance kit contains a set of seals for OE Brembo calipers. Price: $60 SOLD Brembo Front Pads for R33, R34 GT-R USED Might be good if someone needs them for compliance, lots of meat left on them. Original OE Brembo pads from an R34 GT-R. Price: SOLD Pics in next post... thanks for looking!

Congrats on getting a drive Dan. Nice article. I so know how you feel when you get handed the keys. Lol it's a bit of a moment where you can't reconcile the want to drive vs. the value of someone's pride and joy. It was worse when a mate in Singapore let me drive his one. Over there it's a $230k USD car so it's tough to go too rough on it. I did anyway... p.s. the LED lights are simply Nissan options not Nismo items. If they were made by Nismo the price tag would be 1.8million yen. Per side.

It would be a costly exercise but it could be done. No sat nav though Aus spec cars wont get this for a while. Though you could integrate any sat nav that had composite video out. Parts alone would be over $5k then there'd be a bit of stuffing around.

Congrats to all, Russ, Ben, Tony and Kel. Specially congrats on finishing your first rally and inside the top 10 at that on worn out tyres! PS. There's a small write up at GTRBlog focussed mainly on the two 35's and it has a few pics. Didn't have much news from Sundays racing so let me know if you have anything to add. http://www.gtrblog.com/index.php/2008/10/0...e-report-and-re

Ouch. Out on day -1

Ya BB... Jetstar fly to Tokyo direct as of Dec 18th.
