How far are you guys gonna go on the tuning side of things?

As you probley know the ECU is untuneable / or very hard and the turbos are intergrated into the exhaust manifold...

So here is a cool little fact. Sure there is a 180 KMH speed limiter which is linked to the gps. In Japan when the car sences that it is at a racing circut it removes the 180kmh speed limiter.

How cool is that!!!

Not sure that targa roads are in its system but if you were doing more than 180kmh more than a hand full of times at targa you would be insane.

haha count me insane then :banana: even our little one got to 180 a few times, there are some good long straights....I hate to think the speeds this thing will hit :angry:

I understand mines and probably others have computers without the speed cut already - I'm sure Just Jap will sort out something for this car before targa too

that's great if your in Japan, sux if you live anywhere else.

The car will be well over 180k heaps of times at Targa without any worries in the world. Most of the field do it as well.

Considering how much the car is, what your outlook is about the car, dont you think for it to be taken apart in what looks like a shed, a little sad??

Im not saying that paintshop or JustJap is somehow cheap, just kinda an unfitting end/renewal to a car hardly 1,000kms old.

I mean just look at whats holding this 'GOD' of Nissan... a freakin old wooden block...

It may be a new car...but at the end of the day its just a car. You are lucky i dont have one as i subscribe to Bird-Dog engineering (Cheap, cheap-Ruff, ruff )

Hats off to them for getting in there and being the ones to dedicate all the extra time and expense associated with being the first to do something locally

Just bring it home in one piece :)

Well if the year continues the way it has they'll be running in wet conditions, which should favour the GTR a bit as far as traction and handling goes.

Actually driving the thing and getting used to it could be interesting though, the bastards as wide as most tasmanian roads. :)

A Mines rep told me they had hit 350 in theirs,which is off the clock in one of those.

Couldnt think of a better car to use in the wet.

Thats almost exactly what Jason White said about his R34 after targa :)

I think it went more like "In the wet there's no car id rather have than the GTR" or something

I really don't know about that. Having done some wet track days there has been no chance of us keeping up with guys like Jeff Beaumont in his EVO in those conditions. The GT-R's are still a little hard to get fully on the gas in really wet conditions compared to those full time AWD cars.

Each to their own i guess, maybe it was a comment insipred by the result he got

Still, if i remember correctly he sold it off, got a drive for the lambo guys and the car caught on fire?

Wonder where that R34 is now

I dont know about that.

Mark won 28 stages out of 32 in last years NSW dutton and won every wet stage which was about half, including motokhanas and short sprints.

even won some stages in the wet when other competitors did the same stage in the dry!! lol

gtr's are a great all rounder. :D

p.s: when their modified of course

yes GTR is king! well at least if you could somehow have a 1250kg GTR it would be. to my mind the only thing holding the old GTRs back is weight, and perhaps a little bit of nose heavy distribution. nothing $80,000 of bits and work can't fix though!

Ask Marlin on here if he has seen it around recently..... :(

Oh, ok ill PM him :D

gtr's are a great all rounder. :D

Absolutly!!!

1250kg GTR it would be

Now that would be really nice, then add 650hp and you're set

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
