Should be in issue 10 or so. Baron, my photographers aren't amateurs. They have manners and use them. No way they would ever use private property without permission just as they didn't in this case. It is funny how quickly people forget though. I reckon Stu kept that particular dealership in shiny new Pulsars with all the import parts he's bought over the years. :P

I think you'll find they are shiny new TIIDA's.. not pulsars.. lol..

excellent car.

Will buy issue 10 if it's in there.

I think you will find that the dealer principal rang Nissan Aust to make sure it was okay and a certain dept started asking questions.

Oh an import hey,,,,NO

Oh in an Import magazine,,,NO

Oh it's got what under the bonnet,,,definately NO WAY.

Whilst the dealer network are lets say "mostly happy" supplying parts for private imports,,,the manufacturers are not.

All I can say is,

It was the best sounding car on the day!

It was also the cleanest car in the morning!!!

Stu - when I was flagging at the flip flop, your car gave me blood.... :(

thanks Chris, yeh roy, by lap 3 of the first session i was already bored of the track and decided to check the infield out between turns 1 & 2. that one was painless. the next time i did the same thing but this time i went in side-ways and damaged the front bar. I thought id make sure the job was done correctly by going off after turn 2 and before the bridge. but thats all lol. Car was very light in the arse on braking, mid corner, corner exit, excelleration etc, basically it tried to swap ends on me every where. i was even loose on the straight in 4th at one stage, but after getting some good advice on lines through turn 1 i was more confident into turn 2 which i was most shit scared of. mechanically it was great, had an oil leak in the tranny in first couple of sessions but sorted that out. just more track time and some adjustments to get it to behave and it wont be as much of a handfull. but it was cool knowing i could squeeze the gas and light the tyres up. just had to make sure it was pointing straight. all in all i was very happy seeing i had never driven the car before and or driven OP.

So Stuart have we converted you to going around corners now. Or are you still interested in straight lines?.

I think I said it way to many times,,,but your car sounds so fat coming down the straight.

I loved it mate.

As others have already said this was probably my fav car of the day and seeing as though you were in my group all I got to see of it was either you overtaking me down the straight or you spinning off multiple times infront of me at turn 1-2. Actually from memory you gave me a wave when I gave you room coming out of the last corner onto the main straight and then I waved you back as you spun off at turn 2 and I went back past :(

Why people bother with RB's when you can throw a v8 in a skyline is beyond me.

most definately Neil, you know you have done an honest days driving when your hairs all wet and so is your undershirt.

5-15 minute sessions is more driving than a drag racer would see in a year.

Thought about it after we got home but i should have let you have a steer. I dont think anyone else would fit in the seat.

Next time.

I destroyed a bearing at OP GP on Friday...

I'm currently weighing up an LS2 in there instead of rebuilding the RB30 bottom end...

Stu: Got any sources for getting crate LS2s?

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
