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.

plenty of old school nissan goodness there too :devil:

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

I now have one of these bad boys on it's way to me. 19X13 inch forged magnesium GT500 wheel. noice :/

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.

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 ....

    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
