Too bad they did not get some decent drive time.

Looks awesome, may consider owning one when we finally see them on the road here.

Here is another vid with an excellent demonstration of exhaust note.

Nice yeah, but cannot compare to a R33 Nismo GT-R ... the Skyline tradition died after the R34...

Skyline as we know it ,will no longer be.

Cannot compare it to a Nismo R33? of course not as it stands this shits all over the R33. Just wait till Nismo get their hot hands on one of these .... GAME OVER

Lets be realistic here, Std specs are 70% better than any previous GTRs

"Nice yeah" Biggest understatement ever ! This is the hottest Production (super)car to have ever come out of Japan, if not the world !

My conspiracy theory .... I'm only guessing but Nissan engineers and marketing guys arent dumb. I suspect its an intentional underplay the true capabilities of first version of R35 as a car "for all people", knowing it may be considered a bit heavy, knowing enthusiasts would love a manual, knowing the styling without further body kits will have some mixed reactions, but knowing the potential they have to evolve the base product.

I suspect they are waiting for the counter shots from Porsche and the like (eg Porsche already claiming 7:32 around ring from new GT2 390kw on standard rubber) - read below.

They'll let the dust settle and then blast them again with the lighter tricked up Vpec versions. Hasegawa has more up his sleeve to unfold than's been told I'm sure.

Any version can be delivered to my garage when convenient please please Mr Nissan :(

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
