Rezz

I'm a wanker so I think I'm well placed to aswer this one The blowoff doesn't work when the gears change in an A/T, just when you step off the gas. It doesn't work because you're not required to step off the gas during gearchanges (duh!)... So the only way for it to work is to drive 'attention whore' style and: speed up > step off > f*ckin whoosh! > every girl within earshot turns around and lifts their skirt in your direction. I love it when 'tards in turbo cars time their gearchanges or step off the throttle as they go past alfresco cafes and the like... it makes having a blowoff valve one of the key things that makes you a MAN... well. that and a pair of testicles

http://www.auto-g.jp/etc/aprilfool/2006/08/index.html It's in Japanese, but if you can read it (or just use Altavista Blooperfish) you'll find a few tasty tidbits about the next GT-R... and Carlos Ghosn's new Nara prefecture residence! P.S. The Japanese don't really get into April fools day stuff, so if you think the article (and the whole index page for that matter!) is pretty weak I don't blame you! Good on them for trying though Extra points to the people who noticed: 1) Auto Gallery changed the title logo to 'A-USO' Gallery.net... (uso = lie, not true) 2) They intentionally ripped off 'Response.jp' title font and logo/colors 3) Mercedes Benz refigerator and vacuum cleaners??? etc

^^^ Thanks for replying guys Where's Demon Dave???? Have not seen or heard of him in ages...

I remember the booing was also because the R32 was 4WD (not AWD ) and it had a distinct advantage in the wet. I remember seeing the R32s at Waneroo Raceway back in '91... the Ford Sierras were almost as good though!

Lookin good maaaan... Who did your tint? Btw, you *know* you can get 18x10 under the rear, forget about spacers... just need the correct offset. I just won an auction for some Racing Hart CP-S10 18x9 and 18x10 for my S13.

Spend it on me!!! Not some stupid piece of tin!

You just bought it, but now want to sell it? You can sell it for whatever you like, but going by what you've said... aah $16K?

It means roughly 'Future Happiness'

No worries Yorik this is the best place to offload the book. You're very generous for doing so.

V35's are still new to the average person who's looking for an import. I wouldn't be suprised if say for example an '01 2.5L Auto sedan was landed an complied for around $20K and it's on the lot for $30K. But at the end of the day... do you think it's worth that? If not, go get your own V35 and do all the running around to get it shipped and on the road here. Then no middle men get $$$$ that could be better spent on doily seat covers to enhance the look of your 250GT sedan.

No. It's been wound back The only low kilometer R32's left are 1994 V-Spec II's and the like. I would go as far to say that all R32 GTS-t's have been wound back... which kind of eliminates the need to discuss such things anymore. Ok everybody lets sing: "Jaaaah-pan-eeeze Imports have all been wound back... have all been wound back... have all been wound back! HEY!!!" If you believe that all 32 GTS-T's have been wound back then a real provable low-kilometer example comes along, then congratulations... it's still not a low-kilometer GT-R.

... looks like d0rifut0h damage... HEY! I thought everybody was awesome at drift when they got behind the wheel of a Skyline?

Now this I wanna see DO IT!!! ... do it...

The mails been sent, but no answer as yet... seriously don't you think it's weird that none of the 7th Meister cars run the kit? I thought they out of anyone (even R31 House) would have at least one demo car with it.

I can't stand those sharks who go fishing for clueless peoples money... 'if someone wants to pay $800 let them'... for something thats OBVIOUSLY worthless. Even if they succeed it'll be a one off thing, everyone wises up eventually, even the clueless. So Japanese plates are worth nothing, only $20 for the guy unscrewing them and a further $20 for posting/packing.

Thats more like it Remember fanboys, it's just 2 used, big, and ugly pieces of stamped tin...

Is that RRP?

lol... your post says almost exactly what I posted up earlier today and on Tuesday in this same thread.

Having said what I said in my previous post though, you'd be right in 'thinking' that Autech versions weren't made post-1998 by looking at Autechs History page on their website... theres no mention. But Carsensor etc all have info for post '98 260RS Autechs. Just depends on where and how hard you look for info (reading Japanese helps alot too).

I think you've got a case of 'out of sight, out of mind'... S2's were made, but I've only ever seen them in pics. The S1/2's were made between 08/1997 and 09/2001 Pic:

You're talking about a car that hasn't been made for almost 5 years...

Yeah ^^^ I've always thought the frameless doors are what set alot of Japanese sedans and the Stagea apart. The old Accord Aerodeck had frameless doors too I think? Makes all the difference.

H0llakaust: It all depends if you want new or used parts. If you get Japanese new parts, budget $5,000 to $7,000? You could knock $$$$ off that if you buy shit Chinese stuff, or even more if you shop on Ebay/Yahoo... I think you should take one mod at a time and ask more Q's then.

Right... so the transformation into a 'Luxury GT car' is complete. It's a nice car, but it's turning out to be what the Soarer would've been had Toyota not made it into a 2 tonne convertable.

1) The heaviest AR-X Four version weighs 1710kg. Goes down from there to 1550kg for the RWD 2.5L 250RS. 2) It was 3.0L till 2004 when the 3.5L VQ35DE was introduced to the Stagea (finally). 3) No! No manual for you Stagea people! It's a shopping/family car! If you think the VQ35DE is a 'Skyline/Fairlady Z' engine, then think again! It's also in the ElGrand people mover van... talk about versatile. 4) Yes, 4WD is offered for all capacities (2.5, 3.0 and 3.5) in varying trim levels. 5) New they're between $30,000 and $40,000 in Japan. 6) Only if you get me to answer all these questions then *don't* get an M35 An old colleague of mine in Japan had an M35, and while it was only the 2.5L 250RX, he had the 'AXIS' M35 kit and wheels on it (AXIS is one of Nissans optional parts divisions, as is 'Own') and it looked the goods. Pity it was AT.
