At least the emo won't try and grenade itself.

Or maybe it will.

I'd own a 34. But f**k paying that much for one in this market.

I agree. U could buy a brand spanker evo x and have change and warranty. Its a no brainer, except its like selling your soul to the devil[emoji12]

An ex workmate of mine has one, he modded and maxed out the stock turbo at around 300awkw on e85. Engine eventually threw a rod and he spent an arm and a leg on a new block with cosworth internals and FP turbo for a reliable 500awhp. Don't work with him any longer so can't say how its held up in the year or so its been at 500whp.

At least 2 less cylinders to worry about when rebuilding.

Anywho,

Drove the car. Makes my 33 feel as old as it is.

-Steering is very responsive with good feedback.

-Brakes are amazing for standard rotors and pads.

-It's slow. But what do you expect from a standard car.

-Chassis is stiff af. Coilovers contributed to bumpiness. Momma ain't raise no pussy.

-Gearbox feels nice.

-Seats are great. Those emo recaro's are so good.

-Engine bay has lots of space.

I can see why these things do so good at the track. There is no real sloppy feel anywhere. Give it a exhaust and put e85 in the tank with a tune and I reckon it is a perfect car for driving on the road and being a weekend track warrior.

TLDR Probably going to sell my soul.

it's a sad reality, but R32/33/34 Skylines GTS-t GT-Rs are pretty much all siet boks compared to newer cars.. heck a Ford Focus RS would munch hard... imagine a basic modded Ford Focus RS.. would clean up a a GT-R with 50k worth of mods.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
