one other question. Does anyone think nissan would release a GTST model based on the GTR platform? They obviously arent going to do it with the V35. Im sure a lot cheaper rear wheel drive and maybe a little simpler engine built with the GTR platform would be a fair bit cheaper. Maybe it would effect 350Z sales though.

It was a good time in the early to mid 90's. GTR, GTST, Silvia, 300zx all in the nissan stable. Look now, even in japan the nissan cars all look a little dull except for the 350Z.

In answer to everyone's GTS-T questions, there's the G35 Sports Coupe. and that's aboot it...

Porsche 996 for me is the ulitmate car (if you get to drive one you'll know what i mean) that's a bargain, even at 300-large. I know the guy who wrote the Porsche vs GT-R article and he's owned some of the toughest GT-Rs and Soarers in Oz and that car left a big impression.

The R32 was $110,000 in 1990 when it first landed here. Nissan Oz got burnt by how long it took to sell the last batch of the original 100 (just like most Ltd. Edition cars sold here).

We'll see the R35/V35/next GT-R out here as the number of GT-Rs we privately import is sooo big it's earned the ire of Nissan Intnl. who want a slice of that action. It's getting sold everywhere from here to USA to UK to France to Germany

ive been in a G35 sedan (the Skyline is branded as the Infiniti G35 in the USA) as it was fanged around a bit.

It goes alright but the sedan is a bit heavy for its own good.

The coupe is sexy and I would take it over the 350Z since its a Skyline. I would change the grill though.

I did, and those Concept 2001 pics are... well, 2 years old.

Why are a few people typing "V35/R35"?

It`s V35... thats what Nissan calls that platform. There is no possibility of an R35 ok? And as for an "R"35 GT-R, Nissan is making the GT-R on the V35 platform, so you can guess they`re gonna come up with something like "BNV35" GT-R or something.

The "RB" series of straight sixes are gone. Please don`t perpetuate the "R35" thing, I tell my Japanese mates about it and they can`t understand how people can get it wrong, when it`s so easy to click your mouse a few times to see the V35 spec sheet.

Not known him that long, met him through work. Only know of the GT-Rs through what workmates have told me (was told he's owned a few and didn't know about any other Soarers - how much did he get for the 300+rwkW TT one?).

I DO know he's now got a Bentley (did he fit the neons to that, or the XR6T?) that he bought in Japan while he was over there doing the V35 thang.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
