well I once had a coffee in azabu that cost me 1500 yen! it was a good cappucino, but not 1500yen good!

lol, yeah but that nishi azabu richard! it gets even more expensive in roppongi hills.

6 Oz for a starbucks coffee is highway robbery! f**k i can starbucks at the conbini for 200 yen.

must be sydney. 1000 yen on it.

yeah agreed. :D conbini starbucks vs the fresh one aint really the same though. and even in japan i think a grande size cap is about 350-400 yen.

and you are right, azabu aint cheap, it's the most expensive coffee i've had by about double.

and man we have gone way OT. :D

and if you are nice I'll shout you a 1500 yen cap in azabu next time i'm in town! lol.

now, back to the GTR. umm yeah, it's in sydney now. :down:

now, back to the GTR. umm yeah, it's in sydney now. :(

lol, yes Way OT. youre gonna have to shout more than a coffee next time youre here BEER baron! :D

right, yeah the R 35... great car.

if the owner or friends/connections to the owner are reading this, can you please direct this car to www.finalinspection.com.au, and fly Damian up to wash/detail it :D

This car deserves nothing less than Damian's expertise to bring this car back as it sounds like it's positively filthy!

Seriously though, if it indeed gets a respray (soooo soooo wrong, just vinly the f*cker!) then get Damian to do the final detail before it goes to the public, there's only one man for the job :D

Well I can't wait till Friday, will see what all the big boys of the Jap tuning scene have done to tweak the R35's

Plenty of pictures and a full thread on Tokyo Autosalon to come.

Dont you go having too much fun, you have work to do whilst over there :D

It will be great to see this thing in the flesh when it hits our roads down here, certainly will be a true test of how good the car is. None of this thrash it around the ring for testing, bring it to Tassie and the best roads in Australia :D

I don't think it's theirs. Jspec just list other peoples cars. it's probably at auction or at a dealer, or maybe a yahoo car. but I'd be pretty certain they don't actually own it. just they will buy it for you if you want it.

yeah J-Spec don't actually own any of the cars we list... they're sourced from dealers, wholesalers, agents, auctions etc. when a customer wants a car they pay the seller directly. Fairly sure that R35 was from a wholesaler. As soon as it becomes unavailable its taken off the list, but till then its still available for purchase.

Craig and Ben are over in japan atm for TAS and to inspect/buy some cars, so they should be checking it out in person though.

I drove over the Anzac Bridge today for work and tried to spot the R35 you all speak of. As i crossed the bridge, not looking ahead for the entire length and possibly almost crashing, i'm positive i spotted an R33 and an R34 GT-R, both in white (F*k knows how i spotted them amongst all the other white cars) but no R35.

I left the bridge a little depressed...*sighs*

hey richard, you didnt end up getting to drive the GTR while you were here did you?

*grabs phone and calls nearest nissan dealer in tokyo*

BRB.

Im working on it, and may be driving one within the next few days before I fly back to Sydney :domokun:

haha I don't think they will need Daniel to detail it quite yet....since they will need to strip it, seats, dash, interior trim and pull the windows out in the next few days to put the cage in.

apparently the seats are a good 25kg each so I reckon there will be a couple of second hand r35 seats for sale very soon. wonder if they bolt into an r32?

I don't know what all the fuss is about pink, how much more is a bright pink R35 going to stand out than a white one. And i'm sure the owners don't care about resale if their gutting it and racing it.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
