Nissan heritage parts programme

Not sure if there's any weight behind this article but Nissan will apparently be re-commencing production of performance parts for past models

Over the past few years I've noticed from my own experience that getting your hands on performance parts for a GTR particularly anything nismo has become a rarity so good news if this is legit. Expect some crazy prices for parts though

And this would have nothing to do with the 25 year rule in the USA and Nissan wanting to cash in on this new market.

Factory parts plus GTR tax plus Nismo tax equals great profit margin for Nissan.

Legitimately what are gonna be your options once(if) this goes live? Pricey as they are they might still manage to undercut the rare unique parts by even a little bit. Plus OE will ensure that the remaining Skylines that haven't been tracked, drifted or riced stay in as close to mint condition as possible. Also the option to convert a modified vehicle you buy from someone else back to stock anyone?? If they are above your budget, you probably aren't the right person to be owning a 20 year old car, and a Skyline to boot. Obviously value is different to certain people, if you intend to prep your car for the track you might go with cheaper options while someone who intends to keep their Skyline as a more show style car will pay top dollar. 

It will at least regulate the used parts market.

some of the crazy drug money prices will need to be justified, and even if its pricey, brand new genuine gear is excellent news for us, not having relying on 25 year old integral parts.

Exactly!!! Hopefully this means an end to $600 nismo keys lol

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
