oh btw Ruby one of my windows takes about 5 secs to wind up so sure i could mutli task and flick all the buttons @ once and wind all windows up in about 6.5secs (when you use all motors @ once windows take a fraction longer) but i prefer to just wind each window by itself so 5sec x 4 windows = 20 secs extra from finding my car park then get my phone and wallet another 8 secs and car is ready to turn off thats assuming ive fanged the living crap out of it to the entrance of aforementioned car park

From what I remember Nissan has recommended idle times for

city, motorway, etc, before switching engine off.

I think they were roughly 1 minute for city, 3 minute for motorway.

Also on the R32 they had a rocker switch on the dash (next to

steering wheel) which has a turbo symbol on it. I presume this

was a factory turbo timer????

yrs ago when i raced turbo holden sixes at speedway tt wernt even heard of what we used to stop hot shutdowns plus if ya crashe and hit the wall at full song and the the motor stopped good bye turbo lol.

we had a litre container that the oil feed line fed into with a one way valve then it went to the turbo so waht happened when the motor was running there was always a litre of oil in the container under engine oil preassure the one way valve stoppe the oil draining it back so when the motor was turned off or stalled the oil preasure in the container would force some of the oil in the container thru the feed line to the turbo thus ensuring the turbo had oil

going thru it while it was slowing down.

u could buy some already made it was called a nycal turbo lube system and was quite expensive but after i fig out how it worked i made my own never had a turbo faliure in the next 3 seasons b4 that i was killing a turbo or 3 every season

cheers mid life crisis

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
