Hi and welcome aboard.

The big difference here would be weight. If i recall correctly the r35 weighs considerably more than its predecessors... i think they are up around 1.8 tonnes where the others all weigh around 1.5 tonnes.

Old thread re-hashed. I have received a driver dynamics oass for early 2017. So ill be able to trakck the car with some helpful person assisting me with my lack of skills. In my opinion the car has too much power for the road so i am hoping its a little more usable on the track.

Looks good! I'd be keen to see how you did it, just to satisfy my own curiosity.

Are these stock GTR parts?

Fuses dont detect fires, though they can potentially stop them. When a wire has electricity running through it, it will increase in temperature. As the temperature of the wire increases so too does its electrical resistance. This means that more current is required to push its way down the wire. More current will heat up the wires (and so on to thermal runaway). If the wire gets too hot it can require too much current and this can be the cause of a fire. Wires can literally start to glow and melt their jackets. A fuse will blow itself to protect the circuit. The idea here is fuses are the weakest link in your circuits. They are specifically designed to fail. This means that you dont blow up or damage more expensive components. Not sure if this helps... i understand it, but putting it into words is the hard part! Let me know if you need more info.

Good job with the rescue. Looks like it might have been torn apart if you hadn't bought it! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

It sounds as though a connector may have worked its way loose. Have a look behindbthe behind the dash at the original wiring. Find and connections and inspect/test them. A faulty connection should make itself obvious. A multi-meter would be helpful for you here. ps: if you still have a direct line to the battery, make sure you have a fuse inline.

Haha of course...

Im all about that V10 M5...

This is true... But also i (flame suit on), have never been as attracted to the 35s as i am to 32s, 33s and 34s. In fact after about 2007ish my interest in cars is not nearly as strong as my love of 90s and early 2000s cars. Maybe I'm a little crazy?

If someone offer me a 35 GTR and a 33 GTR and i wasnt allowed to sell... R33 10 out of 10. But on the topic of this post. I'm a big believer in not having to pay car loans on toys... seems counterintuitive.

Hello. A quick update following Christmas. Even though i specifically gave a part number, somehow I ended up with a different car cover. I think mine is a Silver or one step down on the product rung. I have put it over the car and it is a very close fit on the rear end. The wing means that you only have about one centimeter of extra fabric. It's very very close to not fitting at the rear. I put it on in the dark so pictures will follow...

My car has 700 ish at the flywheel through an Exedy Hyper Twin Plate clutch. Seems to do the job so far.

I would search for these answers. This has been covered elsewhere, however, i can answer some of your questions (just shooting from the hip, haven't done this myself). Q2: I would prefer to run the wires inside the cabin. Its less likely to be damaged by anything there. I should think it would also have an easier life there. Q3: Wouldn't you want to run the fuel pumps on your ignition circuit rather than straight frombthe battery? You'll need to find an accessory circuit to splice into for this (via a relay i imagine). Q4: Depends. On your new wire, ease of access, tools available, and what fasteners you have. Suggest this would be best covered by a DIY article or sesrching. Just my 2 cents, it might be worth having an auto elec cast their eye over it before or after (or both) just so you can be sure nothing has gone astray. Good luck!

Looks good! What are the plans for the car? Track car?

I have it in my car. I am currently running more hp than it is recommended for the gearset though. From my very limited time in the car it seems to hold up well. That said i am careful not to rush the gearchanges and try to rev match where possible.

You could always rebuild it with OS gilken internals? Of course it will depend on what is broken and if there is any other damage.

Late to this thread, but am i the only one that loves these cars for their part in Gran Tursmo? I bought an M5 because it was my favorite car in GT2 and ive just bought an LM Limited because it was my favorite in GT4. I think video games will be a major factor to new people buying these cars. Maybe it's just me and i am crazy for buying cars this way... but, what if I'm not?

Any resolution to this one? I would be keen to hear how you went.

Hit up@pal (Eric) he's looking to sell the rims off his car so he can change them.

Volume warning for the end part of this video... Wow, that doesn't sound good. I don't think you are going to be able to fix that without pulling your gearbox. It definitely sounds as though something has gone wrong and is attempting to make its way back out of your gearbox case.

Nice one. Sounds like a solid investment for you! (Three times. )

Sweet sounding car! Welcome. Can't wait for pics.
