Oh wow. A 205 GTI. I never thought I'd see pics of one on SAU let alone from Japan. I showed them to my car and then went for a squirt through the hills. We both thankyou.

well twice a year for the last 3 years actually :w00t:

half a day back in sydney and I'm already pissed off and stressed out. fark, 10mins off the plane and I was appalled at the attitude or some people in this country. no one takes responsibility for anything and most don't even take pride in their work. unlike most japanese people I know and have seen who take great pride in even the most menial of task. anyway, hopefully going through and uploading pics either tonight or tomorrow will cheer me up a bit. :)

Ahh man, i come back 2 days without checking the thread and uve put up more stuff!!

Fantastic!

So are you coming back for good? or just back for holidays?

home is sydney for now. got too much good stuff going on here with work, family, friends etc to leave. but the temptation gets stronger every time I go back to japan to just stay there. :w00t:

some more nismo festival pics.

Fuji Speedway media centre. nice place. but like all places in-doors in japanese winter it's about 35% with 0% humidity so your skin dries out in about the time it takes to walk from the door to your desk.

Sunline Racing front pipes. Very, very nice. I was sorely tempted to buy a set. but a bit of a mission to carry around, even with a lift.

The yellow hat Z looks pretty cool. :P

having all areas access means you can get right up to the cars even when they are receiving service in the pits, and get shots like these :P

A Zed fans wet dream. dozens of Super Taikyu Cars. They sound awesome too. They actually raced one against a new R35 GTR road car. The R35 absolutely spanked it. Especially when they did a 0-400m test. but the ST car sounded better. :)

The ST cars look like a nice place to be inside too. 1 is shift RPM the 2 is launch RPM. nice.

ST engines looked pretty sweet. Sounded very tough too, but not a huge amount of power in them sadly.

The endless cars always look super cool. This is the endless ST car next to the endless GT car. nice and easy to spot differences.

Inside a Super GT GT-500 34 GTR. just amazing cars. They really are the F1 of tin tops.

GT500 RB26. The grand daddy of all GTR engines. God I wanted to wheel it away. :devil: It's amazing how compact they are with small cam covers, and with dry sump the sump pan under the engine is tiny. making it a much smaller power plant than stock.

img5879om7.jpg

what can you say about these bad boys? just breathtaking. and sound insane.

img5898xw2.jpg

Ok, that's enough for now. Some more of the heavy hitters after lunch. :P

OMFG I couldn't be more jealous! Seriously, are you willing to take some other Nismo enthusiasts with you next time? *drool*

Unbelievable once-in-a-lifetime pics! Keep them coming!

p.s. I can't believe the RB26 is running internal wastegate turbos .... I guess they are limited somewhat by factory specs ....

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
