So since Toowoomba has none that I'm yet to see, and I really want to go in an R35, would any GC owners be up to take me for a spin in one, just to feel what sort of power they produce etc? I don't want to drive it (unless you're offering/cool with it), but would just love to be in one!

I'm visiting the GC from tonight till very early Saturday morning, if anyone is able to help me out it would be greatly appreciated!

PM on here, or text 0413475969. Will be staying in Jacobs Well

If you really want a go in one, go to a GTR dealership. Just saying, most of the peoples here don't do joy rides.

Why slap down a fellow GTR lover? You sound like a stuck up frazza driver with a silly prancing horse on the bonnet, and red shoes to match!!!!!!!

:domokun:

Who slapped who? I thought I just stated the obvious..

A friend of mine did that once helping out a member of a car club - ended up getting carjacked and their pride & joy used in a ram raid not long after. Not saying this guy would do it, but I wouldn't be opening my door for anyone I didn't know when $168k is on the line.

Maybe when you've worked your preverbial a55 off to own something that awesome & expensive, you'll share the same feeling. I bet I'm not the only one who is thinking the same way - which probably accounts for the lack of hands raised in this thread..

Oh, and I'm not a "stuck up frazza" driver, and never will be. Have owned nothing but Jap cars all my life.

Lol you’re joking right!

Nissan dealers are the biggest bunch of wankers you’ll ever deal with, least the ones in Sydney anyway. They won’t even let you sit in one! You get lines like ‘Oh we can’t find the keys’ or ‘pay a deposit equal to the full value of the car and we might let you drive it’ What a f..king joke. The problem is that Nissan thinks the sun shines out their arse with this car forgetting that the rest of their cars are ugly and boring as batshit. Go to a Merc or a Porsche dealership and they’re literally throwing keys at you for cars of similar value. The most professional, friendly and courteous people you’ll ever deal with. I was a genuine interested buyer of an R35 and I clearly indicated to the dealer that I did not want to test drive the car but wanted one of their sales team to take me for a quick spin so I could get a feel for what the car was like. Nope not a chance. The GT-R is an awesome car, what shame it’s sold by a bunch of half-wits and dickheads. I’ll be buying 2nd hand and privately when the time comes!

You will not like this then,when i was looking to buy 9 months ago (perth)i took a 2011 for a test drive on a saturday morning then a 2009,when i got back to the dealer i asked if i could keep the 09 for the rest of the week-end,they said i could,ended up buying the 09 a few days later.

Yea I've heard the dealers in WA are a heap better.

Indeed they are much better. Magic Nissan in WA flew me over to test drive my 2010. Deal was done very easily and without a deposit, couldn't have been more happy with Nissan.

Maybe you look a bit dodgy GT-R OZie :woot:

Nup, not joking, especially on the "joy rides" part....

Maybe you should buy a Porsche or a Merc especially if they're willing to suck your c0ck to get you buy a car LOL

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
