  1. Hi there, i believe that rotors and pads need to bed in so maybe that's all that needs to take place.I have a 03 250GT and i too want to change my rotors and pads,out of interest what did you pay for the whole package.
  2. Hi thats great to know, do you have a diagram that i can folllow so that i know that i,m cutting the correct wire. This won,t affect the computer in any bad way will it? Have you done this to your 350GT?
  3. Hi i did about 580km with my V35 250GT,untill the light came on and that's with about 5 run's down the 1/4 mile strip and with travelling at an average 120km/hr on the highway. The bok say's i should get about 12km/lt more like 8km/lt if i work it out, i guess our fuel here in Botswana is the cause its only 93 octane.
  4. Hi all thanks for the replies, at least now i know there isn't a fault or something wrong with my car, it just means it's not a GODZILLA but still a nice comfortable car to drive. You mentioned the speed limiter, i believe there is one wire to cut then it gets cancelled any knowledge know in this deveous task?
  5. Hi all, i own a V35 250GT, and i went to a motorsport fun day in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. I live in Botswana and i'm a Zim citizen. Anyway they were having some drags so i thought i'd enter my vehicle. The other enthusiast's were all very interested in my car as they had never seen a V35 Skyline before and they weren't sure what Nissan it was but the minute i said it was a Skyline there eyes lit up and i had to show them the engine etc. The other cars there were my uncles 13B Rotary's , 2 Nissan Pulsar's one a 300GTI and the other a 2LT both 4wd MA, a bug eye subaru, 2 chev lumina's SS, lotus 7 , Nissan champ and the list can go on. I rolled up to the line and my uncle was next to me in his Rotary and when the flag dropped the race was on,foot flat but nothing exciting was happening it was as if i was on a Sunday drive down to the shop's wanting to buy some bread and milk for my work sambo's. I wasn't to impressed, on the open road put your foot down and she drops to second and she changes at 6500 with a snap into third and the speedo is climbing to about 150km/h and if you don't tap off the wife is starting to give you the eye ball otherwise she, the car, would want to carry on till the limiter kick's in at about 185km/hr after changing into fourth at about 165km/hr. So that impresses me but on the strip well i might as well park it in the pit's and let her see what she's missing out on. I know she's Auto but even in Triptronic with the POWER button light on she only get's to about 130km/hr at the 1/4 mile finish line and with Auto and NORMAL selected i only get to around 120km/hr at the 1/4 mile finish line. So is this norm or what, have i got to high a wieght oil in the engine,which i have no clue what's in there as i recently bought it from a local importer or do i have to much oil in the autobox hence maybe one of the two is causing resistance. I did change the Air filter so i don't think that's the cause but i'm open to suggestion's. Regard's RWG.
