After watching this, i dont think i could own a twin turbo infiniti:


The twin everything, water to air rather than air to air intercooling. Maybe as a lease vehicle.
Let us know how it all goes Paul.

Damn, Leroy. After seeing that video, I've realised that while our V36 vehicles have issues with the oil galley gaskets or replacing water pumps are an arsehole of a job, the Q50 is just a complete nightmare for any kind of servicing. They've just done everything so very wrong!! From the spaghetti coolant systems, plastic oil pans, to the ECU being in a hot engine bay (they could learn a thing or two from Ford's stupidity with the Falcons on that one), I wouldn't even want to hand it over to a mechanic to fix anything given the amount of labour needed.

Got the new car :)

What a huge set up from the V36.

I've had the V35 then the V36 and thought that it was a good upgrade but now driving the V37 (Q60) WOW!!! so much smoother.

I feels better in every way ?

Got a new exhaust coming next week

It really needs one. The car is so quiet and has this fake exhaust note coming through the speakers when you get over and 3 or 4 thousand rpm. It's lame knowing that it's a fake note. Friends who don't know about it say "Oooo its sounds nice" I then cringe knowing it's not real.

      S15 Spec R

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
