I really like the DMG too. It's almost as good as white

Great pics. Black is certainly growing on me.

spotted a black R35 merging onto the M1 southbound at Springwood at 12.30pm today - no plates, looked very new.

that would be cool. I wonder if the fringe dwellers are welcome...

spotted a grey R35 in Fortitude Valley with NSW plates yesterday morning.

I would be most intested in a track day meet.

Everything was fine after install - no warning lights or anything which isn't surprising as the exhaust sensors are located upstream of the midpipe. I chose this midpipe because it had no reports of drone. I would recommend you listen to some midpipes to settle on the one that sounds right for you. I would be happy to meet up if you want to listen to mine.

On Friday I replaced my stock midpipe with a Challenge Stainless Steel midpipe and swapped the Nissan transmission oil for the Willall product. Challenge Midpipe: Willall Transmission Fluid: The GTR up on the lift: Old midpipe: New midpipe installed: Rear Carbon tray: As others have reported, the GTR now sounds awesome under acceleration and when blipping the throttle on down changes. The transmission seems quieter with the Willall TM oil.

last tank averaged 14.2L/100km with manual shifting for the entire period. Included a mountain run/

I wanted a white one, they only had red ones...

Only $2.16 at Big W

I just put the Willall Racing transmission fluid in my car this morning and the '1-2 clunk bang' seems to be less harsh.

What is exactly is the sunroom add on?

For the performance levels this car achieves, I think the fuel consumption is quite good. Sure, it uses heaps of petrol when you are pushing hard but that is the case with any fast car. We are lucky that if you choose to drive conservatively, reasonable fuel consumption can be gained.

I have been asked a few times how much fuel the GTR uses, so I am going to post the fuel consumption figures for my 2008 JDM GTR every so often. Since my last fill up I have concentrated on conserving fuel and driving fairly efficiently and therefore left the car in auto mode most of the time. The driving consisted mainly of inner city bumper to bumper traffic and some suburban driving. However, I did have some self restraint issues and floored it a few times. Over 380km the car used 49.09L of V power. i.e. 12.9L/100km. I think this could easily be improved in less dense traffic and more highway driving, however drivng in a fuel efficient fashion is not the way to gain the most enjoyment from this car. I am installing a midpipe this Friday so it will be interesting to see how that effects fuel consumption (if at all). It would be great to see what fuel consumption others are achieving - don't be shy, post up your stats!

Yeah mate, I live in the Valley and was going for a run.

spotted GTR R35 (handbrake) on the Story Bridge 5 mins ago. Unfortunately the traffic was so bad, I beat it across the bridge and I was on foot!

Congrats on your new GTR! I look forward to seeing the pics!

Fantastic post! Thanks!

On the freeway it is easy to get a fuel consumption of 10L/100km if you are gentle with the throttle. Getting it registered was actually fairly painless (except for stamp duty, THAT was painful) but I was well prepard with all the appropriate forms and paperwork etc filled out before I went into Qld transport. In addition to their forms they wanted to see RAWS compliance paperwork, contract of sale, evidence of CTP insurance as well as physically checking the VIN and engine number. At this point in time, the car yard I purchased from are not considering getting in anymore R35s - I not sure if that is possible anymore.

saw a white R33 with white rims pulled over on Smith St at Soutport about 2.30pm today

Hi all, I bought a JDM R35 GTR a couple weeks ago (thread about this in R35 GTR Discussion). I will be looking to install a mid pipe, Cobb tune, reverse camera, window tints etc. - nothing too wild. I used to own an R33 GTST (one of the best cars I have owned) a few years ago and look forward to joining the Skyline community again!

Looks great!

I have often looked at the new and used car prices in the UK with great envy! When you do a straight conversion from pounds to Aussie dollars (as evidenced a few posts up) it always appears that they are buying their cars at far better prices than we are. I have noticed that as a rough rule of thumb, if you times the price of a UK car (in pounds) times 3, it roughly works out to the value of cars in Australia (new or used). I don't know why this is the case, it probably has something to do with our outrageous tax system.

Munro, What does it sound like at constant throttle at 60km/h and 100km/h? Some in car sound clips (especially at the above speeds) would be very useful.
