1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R      Date of Manufacture: Dec/1989  Color: Metalic Blue /Blue int.

AKA “Godzilla”,a name given to these cars  by the Australians in 1990.

68,367 Miles on chassis,  5,718 on rebuilt engine. Engine: RB(Race Breed) 26 DETT. In-line 6 cylinder, 2.6 litre, double overhead cams, pent-headed(similar to a Hemi head), 4 valves per cylinder, twin intercooled turbos(TT)..  5 speed manual, Attessa electronic all- wheel drive, Digital Climate Control (self- diagnostic) air conditioned, all wheel disc brakes with ABS, Viscous Limited Slip Differential (VLSD), Hicas rear wheel steering. Factory GT-R coil struts suspension. Top of 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.

This vehicle is currently only eligible for import to U.S. if used for Auto Shows, or Race-track use. It cannot be licensed for road use until December of 2014.

Infiniti will move back to Japan from Hong Kong in 2020

Wed, May 29 2019

BEIJING – Nissan's premium brand Infiniti is relocating its headquarters back to Japan from Hong Kong, its home since 2012, to create "more operational efficiencies" with its parent company, according to a document seen by Reuters on Wednesday. The move planned for mid-2020, and expected to be publicly announced later on Wednesday, will help the Japanese automaker cut costs amid a slump in its global earnings in the year ended March 31. "The relocation will further integrate (Infiniti) with global design, research and development and manufacturing functions based in Japan," Nissan said in the statement, adding that Infiniti would continue to "operate independently". The move also was "crucial" for Nissan to follow through on its strategy to electrify the Infiniti lineup, the document said, with plans for every premium model launched from 2021 to be either all-electric or "e-Power" hybrid. A Nissan official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that while there was a "fair amount of platform and other base technology sharing" between Infiniti and the main volume brand Nissan, "there could be more". Nissan's global operating profit plunged 45% in the last fiscal year and would likely drop another 28% to "rock bottom" in the current one, according to company filings earlier this month. Infiniti's move back to Japan will reverse a decision made under ousted leader Carlos Ghosn to dilute the premium brand's Japanese origins in order to foster a more global image. Its Hong Kong headquarters has about 180 employees who were told about the move back to Yokohama earlier on Wednesday, according to the Nissan official. The Hong Kong headquarters and the global image it was intended to promote were seen as critical for Infiniti to make inroads in China, where being Japanese can sometimes be a handicap because of historical animosities. In 2012, Infiniti and other Japanese brands took a battering in the wake of diplomatic spats over disputed islets known as Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan. Since then, Japan's bilateral relationship with China has steadily improved and Japanese automakers including Nissan and Toyota are seeing their businesses expand, even as China's overall auto market has slumped over the past year.

Is the Chevy Camaro Z/28 a Godzilla Slayer at the track?

Sat, 29 Mar 2014

Godzilla. It's a name that strikes fear in the minds and hearts of giant monsters (Mothra!) worldwide, not to mention a number of automobile manufacturers that produce high-performance coupes... including Chevrolet. The Bowtie-cladded company has one rather obvious model that lines up squarely in the sights of the Nissan GT-R, that being the Corvette.
Interestingly, though, Chevy's halo coupe isn't the vehicle the boys from Motor Trend decided to match up at Barber Motorsports Park against the Japanese Godzilla, opting instead for the brand-new Camaro Z/28. A glance at the spec sheet of the Z/28 clears up any consternation regarding MT's choice - more horsepower for the Nissan, more torque for the Chevy and roughly the same weight means they are on pretty equal ground when it comes to what's under the hood.
The rest of the spec sheet looks to tilt the argument in the GT-R's favor (especially considering that MT's test car is a Track Edition model), as it boasts all-wheel-drive traction, a quick-shifting six-speed dual-clutch transmission and a price tag that's about $40,000 higher than that of the Z/28. Oh, and don't forget the GT-R's legendary computer-controlled reflexes. Does any of that matter with a professional race car driver like Randy Pobst behind the wheel? Scroll down and watch the video to find out.

The 11 best scenes from the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed

Tue, Jun 30 2015

Over the last three days, the Goodwood Estate has played home to the eponymous Festival of Speed. Thrown by the biggest gearhead in the British aristocracy – Charles Gordon-Lennox, the Earl of March and Kinrara – the Festival of Speed is essentially a tremendous, gasoline-fuelled party, complete with a very large lawn sculpture, that features the world's hottest, weirdest, fastest, and loudest race, production, and historic models. While there are quite literally dozens and dozens of videos from the event – not to mention the full-day replays (of which only day one is available, at present) – we've sifted through them to pluck away the very best. There's stuff from the official Goodwood YouTube channel, as well as several videos from automakers and other third-party channels, and it's all available below. 2015 Ford Mustang GT350R Looks Barely Controllable If you thought the highest-performance Ford Mustang would somehow get more tractable or civilized once it moved to an independent rear suspension, this video shows you have nothing to worry about. Watch as an unnamed driver wrestles the new Shelby GT350R and its flat-plane, 5.2-liter V8 up the hillclimb circuit. Even with the new suspension and sticky tires, this Mustang wants to go any direction but straight, especially following its launch. 2016 Ford Focus RS, Is Very Loud, Blue Ken Block makes his first appearance on our list. Before he steps into his Hoonicorn Mustang, though, the Gymkhana expert tackled the hill in the all-new Focus RS. The vicious bellow of the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is the star of this commentary-free video, although the gorgeous Nitrous Blue paint job is a nice accompaniment, as well. 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn Runs Hill, Nearly Kills Lord March Mr. Block's two runs behind the wheel of the Hoonicorn were, unsurprisingly, very eventful. While one attempt goes off without a hitch, seeing the American rally driver slip and slide his way to the top of the hill while taking a short break for a donut, the other is slightly more dramatic. Block, along with Lord March in the passenger seat, carries a bit too aggressive an angle into a turn and nearly puts the NASCAR-powered Mustang into the hay bales. Check out the first video above, and the second one below. Kimi Raikkonen Makes Us Miss F1's V8 Era The latest Formula One cars have been maligned for the lackluster noise produced by the new 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6.
