not a skyline, but the missus pulsar (formerly mine) was a mid 2000 model (so one of the last n15's ever made) and it's harmonic balancer has different timing marks to the earlier models. instead of having 5 or 6 marks it only has 3. i've only heard of 1 other one being like it and it was made in the same month

East Bear GTS-R body kit (only one other full kitted EB car in oz)

GTR V-Spec rear diffuser isn't rare for GTR's of course, but i don't know anyone else running one on a GTT. Called Nissan for shits and giggles and they wanted $10K for a rear diffuser :worship:

my r34 gtt manual sedan has no rear wiper !!! i havent seen any others without one ??

That is rare - I thought they came as standard equipment.

My car (R34 sedan) has a parking antenna - haven't seen any other car with one, except a Stagea.

I drive a clean stock (most parts still genuine) '83 bluebird (daily) which is pretty rare nowadays.

Mine stock-ish car had yellow brake calipers when I bought it... I thought the factory ones should be black?

Genuine HR31 JIC Coilovers.

my mate has a set of these, front shocks are farked, and we have noo idea where you'd get inserts from! He ended up going 5 stud and a set of S13 brand new JICs :yes:

his GTS-X also came with the smoking fan on the parcel shelf, auto spoiler and the compressor under the drivers seat to pump up the bolsters (jealous much).

mine unfortunately is boring spec lol

My R32 doesn't have a rear wiper :thanks: Thanks to it being a GTE model (pretty much bottom of the range). I like it better without.

I also have the option front 'auto-spoiler', although this didn't come with the car. I sourced it to buy intentionally and ended up buying one with the motors for $30. I never hooked up the motors though, I just fitted it straight to the front bar.

I also have the factory option weather visors that go above the doors, got these from Japanese Yahoo Auctions. These for 4dr are so hard to find.

For rare/unusual modifications I have a genuine Nismo cup holder, nismo leather gear knob but not just any nismo gear knob, it's got the old style logo on it. My Recaro you could say is a rare model too, it's the Recaro SR3 'trail' model.

I got 17" 5 stud Formula Mesh rims which are also very rare to come across.

I love owning unique/rare/unusual items on my car. :down:

Lets see.... Does this count.. My 32GTR didn't have any intrusion bars = much lighter..

I also had a nismo boost gauge which I never got around to installing and sold it on to someone on sau..

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      AC not coming from top vents

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
