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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Renovo Coupe at CES, Aussies tour US in Tesla Model S

Tue, Dec 23 2014

Australians review the Tesla Model S in a Seattle to LA road trip video. The folks from CarAdvice drive the P85+ along the West Coast of the US, testing out the car, trying the Superchargers, stopping by some notable sites along the way and even making use of roadside assistance. While the video shows what it's like to take the Tesla on a US road trip, it gives viewers Down Under a glimpse of their own future. Tesla just began sales in a country that, while on the other side of the globe, also features long distances between cities and a new Supercharger network. Check out the video below or read more at Inside EVs. A UK taxi company is introducing the Nissan e-NV200 to its fleet. C&C Taxi, which has been using six Nissan Leafs in its Cornwall taxi service since early December, has added the passenger-ready e-NV200 Combi to its stable of cabs. Mark Richards, manager of C&C's fleet, is happy with its performance and money saved after over 1,000 miles of service so far, and plans to replace the rest of the diesel fleet with EVs. The Nissan e-NV200 Combi "does everything the Leaf does but is much bigger and offers more space," says Richards. "We'll definitely be ordering more." Learn more in the video below or read more at Hybrid Cars. Learn more about Nissan's fleet EVs at the company's website. The US Department of Energy has released a new report on EV charging behavior and its impact on the grid. The report, which covers grant projects from six different utilities, includes data from over 270 public chargers and 700 residential charging units. Most at-home charging took place at night during off-peak hours. There were some reports of problems with chargers and smart meters working together. Most public charging took place during peak hours, but was low compared to home charging. This means a longer cost recovery period due to the high cost of installation. See the report at the DOE website or read more at Green Car Congress. The Renovo Coupe will be on display at the NVIDIA booth at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) for its first public viewing. Renovo Motors CEO Christopher Heiser says, "These are very exciting times for Renovo and we think our new technology, coupled with NVIDIA's breakthroughs in automotive applications, has the potential to make a tremendous impact across the entire automotive industry." The Shelby Daytona-bodied Renovo offers 500 horsepower and 1,000 pound-feet of torque from two electric motors.

2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid priced from $35,110*

Sat, 26 Oct 2013

Nissan has announced pricing for the 2014 Pathfinder Hybrid, which was revealed earlier this year at the 2013 New York Auto Show. Offering two- or all-wheel drive, the hybridized crossover sports a 3.5-liter V6 and a 15-kilowatt electric motor, for a total of 250 system horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque. Those numbers match up well with the 260 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque put out by the V6-powered Pathfinder. Naturally, fuel economy sees a hefty boost, to 25 miles per gallon in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, bumps of five and two mpg, respectively.
The Pathfinder Hybrid is available in three grades. Prices start at $35,100 for an SV and jump to $38,050 for the mid-level SL. A top-flight Platinum, meanwhile, moves the price up to $42,750. Adding all-wheel drive to the package bumps the price up to $1,600 across the range, and keep in mind that these prices don't include Nissan's $860 destination charge. Take a look below for the full press release from Nissan, including detailed pricing charts for both the Hybrid and V6 Pathfinder.

2015 Nissan Murano gets edgier, lighter for NY

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Nissan's Murano stands as one of the originators of the crossover movement - it was perhaps the first such vehicle to throw out the idea that a CUV had to look like a boxy, cladded-up sport utility vehicle in order to be successful. Now poised to enter its third generation, the midsize Nissan is not only getting a new look and a host of new technologies, it's getting a new home: Canton, MS.
With dramatic new styling presaged by the Resonance Concept at last year's Detroit Auto Show, the new Murano debuting at this week's New York Auto Show includes a toned-down "V-Motion" nose, and the Japanese automaker's trademark boomerang-shaped light fixtures. Aside from the chunky chrome U-shaped grille element up front, the new Murano's most striking design detail is its cantilevered roof with funky "disconnected" D-pillars, a floating look reinforced by a greenhouse edged in brightwork. Overall, it's a much more bold and expressive piece of design than Nissan's recent second-generation Rogue, fitting, as the Murano has always been on the daring end of CUV design.
Boasting a 0.31 coefficient of drag and a ton of sheetmetal surface development, the Murano's new form is available with LED headlamps and features active grille shutters for improved aerodynamics. The company claims visibility has been improved as well - and not just because of its brilliant available Around View Monitor camera system - Nissan says it has "optimized the angles and thickness of the bottom of the A-pillar," along with fiddling with the size and location of the side mirrors.
