g sedan/coupe, rebadged skylines.

@ luke....well for the US market the g35 was just that we didnt quite consider it a skyline. and the R35 is a skyline. they choose to say gtr because they dont offer different variations of it anymore like gts25t or r32 etc

Josh isn't trolling this time dude, the R35 was always intended as a stand alone model

The Nissan GT-R, although no longer carrying the "Skyline" badge, has heritage in the Nissan Skyline GT-R...Because of the GT-R's heritage, the chassis code for the all-new version has been called CBA-R35,[9] or 'R35' for short (where CBA is the prefix for emission standard), carrying on the naming trend from previous Skyline GT-R generations

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_GT-R

This is the first GT-R not based on a mass-volume Nissan vehicle (the last GT-R was based on the Skyline). That gave design director Shiro Nakamura, Product chief designer Hiroshi Hasegawa and their team a great deal of freedom to create Japan 鈥檚 ultimate supercar.

The current skyline in the japanese market is the V36, G37 infiniti in international markets

Well to each his own... Finally got the muffler installed by banks town muffler fit for $85. It's surprising the prices some people were quoting just based on the fact that it's a skyline. The lowest was $150 and the highest $300. They all were complaining of how difficult it would be and how much time is was goin to take them. It took the guy micheal on banks town 25 minutes to install the muffler. Anyway the muffler sounds sweet, music to my ears

Yeah, they're full of shit - once you get under the car, it's a piece of piss and no different to any other car.

I guess back when imports were super exxy they could get away with this because people thought oh, expensive car, yeah all work costs heaps. Now they're cheap as shit, and everyone knows how to do it all.

    • As GTS mentioned, it takes a bit of faffing, some fiddling and a little modifying.  With the strainers, you can buy different styles. Some sit flat on the pump, some angle down.  Here are some photos of mine, ignore the ugly welds lol. 
    • The smart thing is to actually locate the pump at the right point down the hanger, so that the strainer can stay sticking out at a right angle, but near the bottom. This is the perpetual hassle with retrofitting any different pump to the factory hanger. Some just go where you need it to, some need fiddling and faffing, and modifying of stuff.
    • Some updates. After a lot of praying and some inspecting of crank threads, we've found that they were both kinda munted but nothing seemed terminal. The other option was drilling and helicoiling the crank. That is obviously the last option so we decided to at least try to get a OEM GM bolt in to GM Specs. So after honing/linishing the balancer from it's .002" interference fit to a .0018" to .0015" to .0013" it eventually slotted on to the crank. ATI state the interference is nominally 0.0007-0.0009... so it's still snugger than ATI reckon and explains the issues we had to fit the thing to begin with. New GM bolt went in at 37 ft/lb then torqued 140 degrees after which was EXTREMELY   but it tightened up to 140 degrees and it was a lot of force. So all things considered, the balancer is secured to the exact specs that GM want with the OEM Stretch bolt, (that ATI say you can use..) and the balancer itself is seated and snug AF. So WOO. Engine is now back in the car with lots of swearing. Bellhousing bolts done up, driver side manifold is on, AC Compressor and hard lines are back on the car. Next step will be to connect various engine bits/wiring/intake/radiator etc. Then oil and coolant and ... test start it? And of course, looking into this issue... which actually doesn't look so bad - It looks like it can be twisted back into shape with a set of multigrips. Anyone wanna buy my bonnet? Boy it looks good over there and sunk cost sucks.
    • Also this may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend getting the strainer on a downwards angle ? as they tend to obviously clip to the bottom of the pump which usually sits level 馃ゴ
