my bad, sorry. For my LSD, r34. Don't know if it's viscous or helical, does that make a difference?

how does the castrol saf-xa go against castrol syntrax 75w-90? saf-xa is a API GL6 and the syntrax is an API GL5, the saf-xa is also 75w-140 which would be better for a series 1, R34 GT-T (coupe), slightly up'd power, no track work as yet or very, very little cheers, daniel

i'm a pig, who else is a pig?

unfortunately the price for a good V-Spec hasn't moved in a good long while, it's just things like import duty, exchange rate, (combo of which sometimes puts it under the luxury car tax) and cheaper compliance that brings the price down. the actualy buy price in japan has remained the same

man, so excited! sounds like they got the performance right (quicker than a 911 turbo) but just hope they can keep the price competitive. my brother works for BMW (marketing) and he's like "meh, it's a Nissan" (stupid closed minded fool) and i keep telling him, it will be better than ANYTHING bmw has in the performance market, and will be cheaper if not the same price as the new M3 (V8) but the M3 won't be able to touch this car. Neither will the M3 CSL, of which the 22 have already been sold. M3/M5/M6, either not quick enough or too big (but still not quick enough) can't wait for these to hit the streets, aaaaaand to rub my bro's face in it

ahh... interested to hear the police point of view on this... /grabs popcorn EDIT: awww.... no police post graeme isn't it? i'm sure everyone would be keen to hear the other point of view

only the turbo R34's came with Xenon's, i think. Non-turbo were just halogen lights...

this car will be well below $200k, i'm guessing around $175-180K as i've said all along, 911 Turbo beater for half the price (911 turbo bout $315K-$330K)

i can't remember exactly. If you go check the threads that BATMBL has started in the for sale section, i bought the Kaixen kit off him. Maybe just search 'kaixen' but just choose the the 'for sale' forum

you dealing with him too KJ? i'm being snubbed someone mention me in passing please (dude who had dealt with gareth from j-spec)

gotta do what you gotta do to beat the competition *cough* 911 turbo *cough* - you never know, the new Audi R8 is available in both, could be the same for the GTR. If it makes it quicker than a 911 Turbo, i don't care what it's got

sounds good mate, if you speak to him, let him know he has email... from 14 days ago (the guy who's previously bought r34 gtr parts off him)

in golf, there is a something called "within the spirit of the game", it's not a rule, but an understanding... basically, there are some things that you can "technically" do... eg, your ball is just off the green, but in the way of your playing partner, so you can mark it if he/she asks you to. You mark it. "Technically" when you place your ball back down there is nothing stopping you from aligning a logo/line on your ball, in the direction of the way you want to putt, helping you with the next shot. Your ball wasn't at rest like that, but because you had to mark it and then replace it, there's nothing stopping you putting it down any way you wish. Thing is, that isn't "within the spirit of the game", you've taken an unfair advantage, within the rules of the game. Hence, the term "within the spirit of the game" to help in those particular situations. Yes technically the police can fine these cars, but, it's definitely not "within the spirit of the game" and by no means helps police / community relationships. (please don't take the word 'game' too literally people) Anyone noticed what the NSW police just received? A Lotus Exige, yellow, black rims, T-wing. The Police themselves have said they hope it will bridge the gap a little between the enthuisasts and the police, give a bit of a common talking point, improve relations a little. BBT fiasco? Anti-pr exercise is you ask me...

hahaa, even got that T-wing going... prob cop a defect for that if roles were reveresed

oh for sure it's part of the skyline lineage in a sense, but if any of these "reputable" places are paying attention for 1 second about this car, they would have realised that from the CEO's very own mouth, it's a Nissan GTR. The 'GTR' is its own model now. Whether it will be like that forever, who knows... but for now, that's the way it is. You can't call a car something that it isn't. And for goodness sakes, it's being released this year, quit with the 2009 crap already.

these so called "reputable" articles are a bit of a laugh, 2009?? Skyline?? is it that hard to understand it's being released this year and it's not a Skyline anymore! they do all this good work with videos and photo's and then completely f*ck up major points, such as calling it atype of car that it's not! but cheers for the link!

it's not a f*cking skyline!!!!!!!!! It's a NISSAN GTR. my goodness, it's not that hard to take on board...

those stickers are NOT going anywhere... where they go depends on what is specified in the compliance evidence by the workshop, IIRC

^ I think he's got a power fc.... so about 13.5L/100km's Dale? interesting way of quoting economy figures... most people will understand litres per 100km's.. If you're not giving it a lot of stick, 15L/100km is quite high...

it's fine imo, my car doesn't have a green plate, because it came in under SEVS. Post this thread or a link to this thread in the 'importing' section. You'll get some answers from the people in the biz from there

i got a Kaixen kit, korean made. Something about Phillips and Kaixen bulbs being the only type of something-a-rather, in other words, a decent quality one. got pics of your kit? you should have 2 ballasts... one for each headlight.

well... who made that one? ^ is that a URAS car?

rhett, it's a 32 mspec,so clear sailing for a 1991 import. the pink stickers are the new compliance "plates", not just for "personal" imports. isn't a "private" import just one you've done yourself? ie you've organised compliance, customs, shipping... etc, etc, without using ie. J-Spec, as opposed to a car you've owned outside of oz for over 12 months, that being a "personal" import? my R34 came under SEVS, and as such... i ONLY get a sticker

isn't there a pink sticker on the drivers side strut tower thingy? sorta facing the driver? EDIT: my bad, u say it DOES have a sticker.. well that's the new SEVS "plate"

get new batteries, or sometimes they need a bit better contact. one of our tv remotes plays up every now and then, fixed it by folding up a small piece of paper a few times over, pop the battery cover, put it ontop of the 9V, put the cover back on and fixed it by keeping it in the right spot to make proper connection. i'm sorry, but i kinda take a "don't force it" attitude with technology... never works in the long run (ie iPod from above)
