Greetings from Canada :) Some of you may know that the R34 GTR just became legal in our country. We have a law stating that vehicles not manufactured for the North American market must be 15 years old or older to be eligible for import. My last Skyline was a 1992 R32 GTST I bought back in 2007. Very happy to have one of the first (legally imported) R34 GTR's in the country :)

Needs a wash and the front diffuser needs a bit of work, but I love it immensely.

You reminded me of a time when an R35 pulled up behind my R34 hahaaaa

Half of my family (on my Mum's side) are in BC and Alberta. Aunt Mae lives in N. Burnaby.

Have you got plans for your GT-R? Are you navigating through SAU quite easily? Searching through our For Sale threads?

I am navigating very well thanks :) I've actually been a member here since I had my R32 in 2007... I just never, ever post. I am a bit more active on the GTRCanada but not by much.

Most of the year in northern BC by the Alberta border. GTR is currently garaged in Vancouver since all the gravel on the roads from winter would not play nice with the windscreen and paint. It will come up here with me in June or so during our summer... before I likely move back in December-ish.

I am probably begin with some cosmetic mods, interior bits, wheels, and repairing the front diffuser. The bonnet dampers I ordered from Japan just arrived at my place in Vancouver today, along with the parts to swap out the factory navigation so I can fit a proper stereo that works in Canada. The car came with most of the significant stuff done to it. TRUST exhaust, Tein coilovers, HKS boost controller, etc... Not super keen on opening up the engine yet having only had it for just over a month now.

There are actually a number of photos of your car saved on my drive in my "inspiration" folder... though I didn't know it was yours at the time!

    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
    • You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though. 
    • Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?
    • It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!
    • As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
