Have to let you all in on a secret :)

I am heading out to ORAN PARK today to watch MARK SKAIFE test his old GROUP A R32 GTR (the Winfield car) that is now owned by Terry Ashwood. He is testing this car on the GP at full flight.

It is a two car test. The other car is the new R35 GTR, and will be a story in an upcoming WHEELS magazine.

They are doing full data today.......lap times, corner speeds etc etc

Have a good day :)

LOL

Well obviously they did not want everbody to know about it. I had to keep my mouth shut for weeks!!!

Was a great day. The R35 was Nissans with the rego plate NEWGTR from VIC.

They had the old HR31 out for a play as well!!

Will be a feature story in WHEELS in MAY.

I did not get a chance to see the data. Skaifey was in and out of oran park like a flash!!!

I think he did as little as he needed.

No pics, sorry. I work for WHEELS as well, so you will have to wait for the mag to come out.

The boys were saying Skaifey was doing 18's/19's in the R35. I thought it would do a 17/18....well he is retired haha

As I said, I did not get a chance to see the data so I do not know the exact lap times, corner speeds etc

I am not sure if Skaifey had a big go in Terrys Winfield car as it is his pride and joy as you would expect. I was having a good chat to Terry and he was upset that the car had to do so many laps for the photographer LOL

Was a great site though :(

I say BAN BOZMMAN. Sif work for wheels should be a deterrent.

If it were the uk the club may well have recieved an invite to such an event,

its a pity Nissan are so embarrased by their years of neglect toward the Australian skyline community they hide their shame by shit canning us.

    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
    • When you looking to buy injectors?? I could possibly sell you my 1d1700s for decent price. Done little work I just need bigger again 😫
