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.

Here's how to follow this weekend's 24 Hours of Le Mans

Thu, Jun 11 2015

In the pantheon of motorsports, the 24 Hours of Le Mans stands as one of the great endurance challenges to man and machine. This year's event in France already looks to be one for the ages with Porsche setting record-breaking times in practice and the competition debut of Nissan's front-engine, hybrid racer. Thankfully, there's a massive list of ways to follow this automotive attraction. Reilly Brennan, the Executive Director of the Revs Automotive Research Program at Stanford University, and a friend of Autoblog, has once again assembled a helpful couch-kit to organize many of the options. Unfortunately, the old-school way of just turning on the television might be the most frustrating way to watch Le Mans this year. Fox Sports 1 and 2 are carrying about half the race, but the coverage bounces between them seemingly at random. The broadcast begins on Fox Sports 2 at 8:30 AM Eastern ahead of the 9:00 AM start and lasts there until 12:00 PM. Things don't pick up again until 7:00 PM Eastern on Fox Sports 1 for an hour, and the channels swap back and forth more from there. The Fox Sports Go streaming app offers more, but even it stops showing the race a few times. Thankfully, streaming Le Mans is easy. If you can't dedicate 24-hours on the couch, Radio Le Mans lets you listen to audio commentary anywhere with some of the best announcers in the biz. The Automobile Club de l'Ouest, the governing body for the race, also offers an official video stream in an app for $9.99. For a really low-tech solution, the official Twitter is another choice. Brennan is keeping his list updated with coverage changes. You can also check out and download the spotter's guide (from Nissan) in the gallery above. Enjoy this year's race. If you miss anything, don't worry; expect a full report from Autoblog. In fact, editor-in-chief Mike Austin is attending Le Mans this year, so follow him on Twitter for on-the-fly impressions.

2013 Nissan Juke Nismo

Tue, 07 May 2013

Scratching All The Right Itches
Say what you will about the unconventional aesthetics that Nissan employed on the company's Juke. I love the thing. The universe has no shortage of ambiguously styled CUVs, and while I can't exactly say I would have turned to the amphibian world for design inspiration had it been me with the charcoal in my hand, I can certainly appreciate the fact that the Juke isn't just another box-on-box design.
And then there's that engine. The turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder under the hood is one of the best powerplants in the company's toy box, offering plenty of low-range torque and comical levels of thrust. Hell, it even makes the optional continuously variable transmission tolerable. Praise be to the deities of forced induction. But something has always been missing from the mix. From the first moment I got my hands on the Juke, I couldn't help but think how much better the machine would be if Nissan ditched an inch or two of ground clearance and sharpened up its suspension. Think more "hot hatch" and less "Kermit goes to Kroger."

Nissan exec Andy Palmer derides Toyobaru coupes as 'midlife crisis' cars

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

Andy Palmer, Nissan's executive vice president, does not like the Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. To us, that's like saying you enjoy barbecuing puppies, but we'll let him slide, because his statements about the Toyobaru twins are much, much more than just idle trash talk.
Speaking to Motor Trend's Nate Martinez, Palmer said, "Do we have any competitors [in the small, rear-drive coupe segment]? Are you talking about the Subaru [BRZ]? It was a car designed for a 50-year-old. It's for a midlife crisis. That's not what we do." Strong words, but what followed was even better.
"Are you coming to the Tokyo Motor Show? You'll see the answer to the midlife crisis. Except it won't be for the midlife crisis." So, if you were wondering whether Nissan is working on a competitor to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ, the answer seems to be a resounding "yes."
