dude - you have to watch the GTR dvd.....its got a whole bit on the race spec skylines - the ones they had on that dvd was the Falken skyline - awesome car....wouldnt mind winning a raffle to drive that around the track!

Guys, relax with the flaming. It was a honest question that I had asked.

I do not know how much they are worth, what it was and whether it was street legal or not. Just looked at it, and said - wow, it looks so nice, love the body etc that's all.

I really want one, but after reading what you guys posted, I guess perhaps it's really expensive and not street legal then.

Never mind, thanks all the same.

Wow...........

The 2 guys standing next to the car with full matching race suits didnt give away that this may be a race car and not a road car...

and the roll cage, the fact it has a huge amount of aero kit, slick racing tyres.... THE HELMETS ON THE BONNET didnt give you any hint that this may not be a car for road use??

You honstly thought this is a car you could buy and drive on the roads here... Do you look at formula one cars and think, hmmm they are fast, maybe I should order one to get me to work a bit quicker.... I am speechless :D

Basically that is the japanese equivalent of a super car.. infact it's a lot better than one of those. It is an extreme race car not far off lemans type racers. To drive that on the street would be.. err.. funny. They are pretty much one of a kind and certainly not for sale to the public very often. I hate to think what the price tag would be too, i'm fairly sure it would be in excess of some of the most expensive exotics around.

    • I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.
    • So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.
    • Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power. 
    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
