you guys talkin bout the gtr? looks amazing, cant wait till they out here! not that id get one, well more like i probably cant afford to get one atm.. but.. well you know what i mean lol.

suprised people would actually import these as nissan said they wouldnt touch them.. they gave some dodgy excuse, but bottom line is obviously that they just want more £££ for themselves..cant blame them either considering how brilliant that car is!

Go for it, i would given the chance.

I see a lot of people who have ordered it are disapointed that they are not getting the first delivery 'till June/July 2009 when they was promised march when they put down their £3,500 deposits. And thats with the non sat nav version , they are now being delivered in July/August so most are saying they would have waited for the sat nav version if they had of known.
The company taking orders is Middlehurst and i think the young fella that owns the company is the one who has been showing his pearl white GTR at the shows recently ie santa pod, siverstone etc.

Spotted another Silver V35 in Fife. Was passing by at the time when i noticed it but i think it may live in the area of Fife that i stay in so i'll have to keep an eye out.
Only problem was the guy was filling it up with ASDA unleaded when i saw him as i was coming out of the store.

Im often seeing them now. I have seen a black one badged as an Infiniti around the Ladbroke Grove area of London a few times (off Oxford gardens). I have also seen an Ivory Pearl one on the Old Kent Road in Lewisham
There are also three others at the SVA centre in Southampton along with mine.

Hey guys! How many of you are definitely going to the Skyline National Meet at Bruntingthorpe? I'd hate to be the only 350GT owner there.

Andy Hi !!
Will be there if I can get my power steering hoses sorted ??
Ordered new ones from Japan,yes you guessed wrong size,thats after waiting 5 weeks for delivery ???
Funny thing is I never had a problem until I took my motor for a service with a nissan stealer,I really think they had something to do with it but cant prove anything !!
For what its worth will never take my motor back to a Nissan dealer !!
All being well see you there Rob

You can use BP Ultimate instead but yes a lot of garages are out of v power around here as well.

On my way to Heathrow and just spotted a silver one with a spoiler, round Luton at 5 on the M1. Anyones off here? Looked v.nice

Fuel wise I usually full up bp ultimate, cheapest round here and no probs with it. Fill up on v power from time to time too, but like everyone else there wasn't any! Had to fill up normal shell unleaded.. only filled up bout 15 quid but for some reason it felt like the car had abit more kick... Maybe I'm imagining things...

Hey Tom...here's what my 2006 Navi buttons say just below screen.

Top row left to right:
voice; route; setting; info; map; dest (destination)
Bottom row left to right:
day/night icons; cancel; zoom in; zoom out; back

And for you chaps that need a possible resource on the Navi DVD disc try here:

Zenrin USA, Inc
P.O. Box 2082
Burlingame, CA 94011
(877) 624-9471
www.zenrin.com
or general info/history about them...
http://www.zenrin.com/company.asp

I just got the updated 2008 version for my 2006 Navi and DVD says made in Japan as my original did back in 2006. Maybe they could help you with an English language version as well as with European maps.

Oh...look what I just found on their site:

Thanks for that John but i think my system is a bit different. I will take a picture of it and let me know if any of the guys over there are running something similar.
Thanks for the link though , i will contact them and see if they can help.

Tom

Fellow Petrol Heads!

I have just got a 2003 Skyline 350 GT, live in north London and would love to know what, who and where to start pimping my motor.

I LOVE (!) the car but want to make it go that little bit faster. Can anyone point me in the right direction for the best mechanic/garage in northish london that can quote for a new nismo (?) throaty exhaust, turbos?, bigger 18" wheels & tyres, brake upgrading, remapping engine? etc etc.

As you can see from the above, mechanics is not my area of expertise however I would love to tweak the car a bit and get some extra power out of the beast.

I don't know what to start with and in what order.

Any useful suggestions gratefully received. Many thanks.

Mike
