the line Alarm and anti-theft system .Original GT-R key! Engine rebuilt by Dave Conway at Pro-Power Engines in
Saanichton B.C.. Crank was
micro-polished and collar for oil pump drive installed. New N1 oil pump and N1
water pump. New ACL race bearings were sent to Calico for their bearing coating
to bring crank/bearing clearances back to spec. Rotating assembly was balanced
to within 1/10 of a gram. C.P. forged pistons and Manley rods with ARP rod bolts were
installed after block was bored .005 over stock to clean all cylinders. The
head was machined for trueness, and all 24 valve guides were re-drilled for
alignment and new bronze guides were installed. The valves were lapped in. A
metal Cometic Head gasket and ARP head studs were used in assembly. Metal
Cometic intake gaskets were used. The head intake and exhaust ports were
relieved, combustion chambers polished, and the stock exhaust manifolds were
ported and relieved to match head. A new timing belt, belt idler and belt
tensioner were installed ( Nissan OEM parts). The 6 throttle bodies were all re-sealed, the injectors were
cleaned and flow tested. The main body of the intake (plenum) is Powder Coated
Blue. The engine has a new water temp sensor, new intake air temp sensor, new
throttle positioning sensor, new oil pressure sending unit, 3 new accessory
belts, and a new 3” aluminum radiator. Royal purple engine oil and a K&N filter, fresh
anti-freeze both done recently. ALL the other gear oils are Red-line synthetic,
and recently changed. 2 Greedy/Trust Airlinx muffin type air-filters are used.
The clutch was just replaced with an A.C.T. Racing clutch, thro-out and pilot bearings,
flywheel was resurfaced and new dowels were installed. Fresh NGK Copper plugs
recently installed. This engine easily and quickly revs to 8,200 RPM without
skipping a beat. The factory boost restrictor was removed by a previous owner,
but I’ve installed a new Vibrant Manual Boost Controller. This will increase
the boost from the stock7 PSI to a SAFE 12.5 – 13 PSI. The turbos were
thoroughly examined for wear and shaft end-play during engine rebuild. They are
the stock turbos with the ceramic vanes, NOT safe to run more than 13PSI. New
braided re-enforced stainless steel water cooling lines for the turbos were
added. I have installed a switch which will turn off the front wheel drive and
ABS, for your pre-launch burnouts. The brake pads were replaced with Hawk Street Performance
Pads, and the rotors were turned. It has an HKS Super Dragger Stainless Steel
Cat-Back exhaust. The Catalytic converter is still in place. There is 90% tread
life on the 4 Michelin Pilot Exalto AS 225/50/R16 tires.The rims are the
factory GT-R ultra-light wheels. There are front and rear IMPUL strut tower
bars (adjustable). Last summer, a 4 wheel alignment was done. It has an Optima
Red-Top battery with Gold battery terminals. There is an E-Brake Drift Button
installed, but the stock E-Brake handle comes with it. The Coil-pack cover is
also included, and is in excellent condition, but the coils last longer without
the heat being trapped in by the cover. The only body mod is the very rare TOMEI rear tail light
covers. The car also has the rare Skyline floor mats, front rear, and rear
hump. The only flaw in the whole interior is the exit side of the driver seat
side bolster, very typical due to the height of the side bolsters in these
cars. It has a Sony Explode CD player with XFINITY speakers. The exterior paint is average for a 24 year old car. There
is a small dent in the hood, which is aluminum, 2 very small dings in the right
side, 2 blemishes on the rear rubber bumper, and the only sign of rust on the
entire car is showing as blistering the paint in the left rear wheel-well of
the quarter panel. I won’t fix it as I’m not trying to hide anything. The
Speedo has been replaced, as indicated by the decal in the door jamb on the
driver’s side. This was used in calculating the vehicle’s actual mileage when
converting the Kilometers to Miles. The car will easily go faster than the
speedo’s capable of displaying. The car comes with a binder from the original Japanese
owner, and includes the full service history. It was imported from Japan in
2004, and has had 3 owners since. I will include a CD Rom that has a complete
Nissan Owners Service and Repair Manual for the GT-R, in English. I have a
folder with receipts for all of the
parts I’ve put into the car. http://s1311.photobucket.com/user/cameraman26/library/?view=recent&page=1 |

Next Nissan GT-R to take cues from GT-R LM Nismo Le Mans entry
Fri, 06 Jun 2014For those wondering why Nissan named its coming Le Mans Prototype the GT-R LM Nismo, colliding the two worlds of sports car and prototype racing, an article in Autocar might have the answer. The deeper union is explained by saying that the next-generation GT-R will use "hybrid technology that will closely align it" with the GT-R LM Nismo.
The point could be further driven home by the fact that the GT-R LM Nismo will begin its FIA endurance racing campaign next year, and the next GT-R is due to debut next year as a 2016 model. The expectation is that it will use a hybrid system possibly dubbed R-Hybrid and perhaps developed by Williams. Just like performance car makers Ferrari and Audi, Nissan wants its racing efforts to pay off with road car technology, company vice president Andy Palmer saying they "want to link technological linkages between future evolutions of the GT-R and evolutions of what we do in LMP1, and the two do go in both directions."
The bigger question is, with the GT-R getting hybrid assistance, will it also get the weight gain that usually comes with it? Enthusiasts would love to see the trend reversed, especially on a car that's already no lightweight.
Nissan lowers price of seven models for better search results
Sun, 05 May 2013Intent on not eliminating itself from consideration, and adapting to the way consumers research new car purchases, Nissan has announced price discounts now in effect, indefinitely, on seven models: the Altima, Armada, Juke, Maxima, Murano, Rogue and Sentra. It was found that Nissan's price points fell outside the competitive pool when prospective buyers searched for cars based on maximum price.
The price cuts vary and depend on the equipment spec, but they range from several hundred dollars to thousands of dollars; the MSRP of the Altima drops by $580, the Sentra by $730, the Armada by $4,400. Discounts on the Murano alone range from $1,460 to $2,410. Under orders from CEO Carlos Ghosn the brand is working to raise its US market share to ten percent by 2016, from 7.9 percent currently - which includes Infiniti - and appears to be optimizing its placement every step of the way to do so.
Nissan gives us the business on the art of clay modeling
Sat, 06 Apr 2013The team from The Dashboard recently stopped by the Nissan Technical Center in Japan for a look at what exactly goes into creating a full-scale clay model. While automakers have been using clay bucks for decades, designers and engineers are now combining computer renderings and hand-sculpted clay models to determine how a new vehicle will look in our world. Engineers use specially formulated clay kept warm in an oven to bring the body panels to life. They then coat the clay in a thin plastic film to add body color for the final look.
By the time everything is said and done, workers may have hundreds of hours in the model's creation. So, what happens when the company no longer needs the buck? They get scrapped. Someone comes in and dismantles the whole creation. We presume that action is set to the wailing tears of everyone who had a hand in building the model. Check out the video below for a closer look.
