You could contact Nissan NZ or Nissan Aus for costs. They have email services.

I have no idea. It's not like I can call a dealer and find out. Well I guess I could but I'd have one hell of a cell phone bill. :lol:

yea u would :lol:

A good site is www.gtr.co.uk . Razor, you should sign up there. With your technical knowledge, posting skills, and intelligent replies/retorts to dumb posts (I've seen on AF), you'd be just the ticket :lol:

Oh, and it is GSS SkylineGTRGuy, and I am from London (for those who haven't met me here - gotta sort out the sig

).

Why did you change your name?

Because I love Vipers and Vettes, as well as Skyline GT-Rs :eek:

Seriously though, here is the reason:

Had to rebuild PC (reinstall OS etc).

Lost my passwords, which I never memorised but were stored on PC (in memory).

Forgot to set spam blocking emails on Yahoo! Mail - too much of that crap without the rules set :trouble:

Got overloaded with crap on that mailbox - over the limit, significantly.

Forgot the P/W to that email account :odd:

:banghead

You could say the following:

That is now fixed (was a faulty memory and motherboard made even more faulty by my physical abuse :eek:

).

Must dl and install AIM.

Just FYI, the R34 has Super HICAS four wheel steering. I'll pull out my old issue of Road & Track where they tested an R34, and find more stuff, after I finish my homework. Spanish project due tom. :banghead:

Actually the First Gen R34's in late 98 did not have it. The still used the same HICAS controller as the R33 GTR Vspec which took samples a 1,000 x a second

Cheers viper dude but I am swamped with idiots as it is on AF and SDU forums. Not sure I could deal with more lol.

Frustrated Palm · Nov 7, 2003

Just to clear things up, I was kidding about the prices on each option. Just wanted to see if you would actually do it :lol:

Edited highlights of the July 1999 issue of Road & Track:

I have the whole article scanned on my computer. I'll do some cropping and post more stuff.

You can pick up lightly used R34 GT-R's in Japan for $40,000 usd.
Depending on the company you use to ship the car to your country, $2-5,000 usd. This includes bond's/lading/and numerous fee's.

Legalization for an R34: $25,000 usd.

Total: $70,000 usd

The look on ricer's faces when you pass them: Priceless

can you scan the entire article?

i highly highly doubt a bog standard skyline will do 190mph. it takes serious horsepower (in excess of 400!!) to go much over 175. with the skylines Cd, and mega weight, i dont think it can do it stock. modified is a whole other story.

also, nissan did not start with the R30. the skyline was first built by the prince motor company that was bought by nissan in the late sixties or summat.

cm108kph · Nov 9, 2003

The article (Sorry 56k!)

skylineGTR_guy · Nov 9, 2003

Thanks! I think I had one on the ZO6...I'll see if i can find it.

skylineGTR_guy · Nov 9, 2003

I was looking at the stats above...poor 911 :lol:

and the "fat" skyline manages to beat the diablo to the 40. All in all the skyline pretty much hangs with the V12. only .7 slower... :lol:

look at the 911...$110 for floor mats ROFLMAO.

lol I read this online about a guy and his skyline:

there are two ways you can do a journey like this. You can either stay off boost the whole journey, settle for fuel consumption around the 18mpg mark and return good environmental figures, not forgetting the money you'd save on petrol. Or, you could burn fuel at twice the rate, fill up twice as much and get there at roughly the same time. We knew which was more fun, I'm sure you'd sympathise.

Our journey back was just as incredible with the 3 remaining GTR's taking advantage of the limitless autobahns (2 of us left home early the day before). With cruise speeds of over 150MPH, Shin and I often ventured close to 200. At one point, we witness the Prospec car go off the clock - and continues to pile on the mph. And he's only got a 200MPH speedo!

that doesnt look stock to me. read the whole article, no mention of 200 mph hijinks. no mentionof autobahn on the R&T article.
post a link please. but before you do, please make sure they are referring to stock cars, not modified.

HKS had a GTR running 51 PSI of boost (3.6kgs) I wonder what kind of gas milage it got.

skylineGTR_guy · Nov 11, 2003

neanderthal: the quote was not taken from R&T it was taken from Cem Kocu a GTR enthusiast who owns an R34 NUR. As for the top speed yes the car can hit 190 however it does involve the removal of the #53 wire to disable the limiter.

That Sparkling Silver R34 GT-R VS2 NUR is tuned to 530bhp.
