Yes, but probably more than I would like to pay for a car that I want to track. And then if any changes are made to improve cooling for track like a TCM cooler or if one used other lubricants than OEM, the warranty is gone.
Does Nissan honour the warranty on unmodified but tracked GTRs?

I am considering buying an R34 as I have had 4 TCM failures on my R35. It is expensive to repair and there is limited expertise in QLD. At times, I imported components from the states, other times from Dodson and Willall Racing. I really enjoy the car and have had it for 4 years but it is very inconvenient to have a breakdown in city traffic! Also very hard to get this car on a flatbed truck which I have done 4 times. Most flatbeds can't accommodate the low front end on the R35. One time, my wheels were all locked due to a sensor failure and the car could not be moved. I have replaced numerous components in the TCM and every time, I think it is going to last but there is always something new. I never launch the car. I do track it 4 times a year at a very amateur social level though but I have an HKS TCM cooler keeping the oil temps under control. I also upgraded the engine oil cooler. Something to also keep in mind is that in my experience, a stock R35 is not ideal to be tracked. It's brakes and TCM can't cope with the temperatures. Especially the TCM overheats after about 10-15 laps. Check out the GRT life and Heritage forums. There is a myriad of information on the R35 on there. Good luck with your decision! I am still not sure what to do but on Friday my car was stuck in neutral twice for a brief moment and I can feel another failure coming! Perhaps the R34 is a better track car as far as reliability goes?

Hi Duncan, great job and thanks for the info.
I have recently ordered Enkei 18 x 10 wheels and Nitto NT01 275/40 tyres from the US. I am still waiting for them.
Can I use my OEM studs? Are they the same taper as required for an Enkei wheel?
Thank you.

Gavin is excellent. He has worked on my R35 many times. Even Moorooka Nissan send him R35's that they can't fix with TCM issues.
He does my routine services and has replaced my TCM sensors and fitted the Willall TCM upgrade components.
I can highly recommend him.

I use Willall GR6 fluid in the TCM, Willall 10W60 in the engine and mainlube 154 solid boundary in the diffs.
