no one has compliance yet. there's a lot of companies running around saying they have the crash data and all the documents etc, but no one has coffed up the plates... so no, you can't import one yet.

meh, not a skyline my arse... you guys do know that the JGTC R34's didn't run RB engines right? they ran VQ's... based on the ones that are now available in the V35s. They're awesome cars in their own right, and they do what they're built to do best... which is to be a family car. Don't forget that the Skyline model was never intended to be the GT car or the Bathurst winner, the first designed Skyline in 1957 was a family car. The sports car model was the Fairlady, and the small car was the Silvia (or Bluebird).

Among other things, when I said Nissan selling their soul, this includes giving away the forced induction. No doubt the VQ series is a well-engineered engine, but that's not the point.

If it's good enough for Opel, Ford, Mazda, Mitsubishi etc to be releasing new models with turbos then why isn't it good enough for Nissan?

Because Renault are f#ckwits & they can suck on my nuts...

and for GODS SAKES people just PUT YOUR TROLLEYS BACK IN THE TROLLEY BAY! ITS NOT THAT HARD! THIS ISN'T AMERICA, you stupid lazy fools.

Hey Racsov500... Fetch my trolley... Chop Chop 'click of fingers * 2 sound fx'. lol j/k i always put'em in the trolley bay.

dont forget mazda have dropped the turbo/s on the 13b too, so both nissan and mazda (and any others im forgetting)  must see some benefit we don't....

Yeh, they get the benefit of a larger target audience with a family car which means they get more money & we get less performance cars. Its all about family cars these days, & all that means is that its all about making the most profit for some prick owner & shareholders.

Yeh and a Turbo Euro Accord too :) But ya see, these cars Turbo 6, & Turbo Euro wouldnt be coming out if the NA ones hadn’t first been out in the market to see how popular they are & bring in some money. Now releasing a turbo model they make even more money with family goers buying the NA models and people with a little more money & or wanting a performance one then they buy the Turbo model. The car companies cant loose this way! More profits, Brilliant.

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired.
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
