The new GTR was at Tsukuba circuit today for some demonstrations after the super battle. The car was owned by mines and was stickered up but was in 100% standard form and managed to lap in a stop watch recorded 1min 3sec. Quite a bit faster than some mildly modded EVO 10s and New STIs (evo 10 1min 5sec and STI 1min 6sec).I was talking to a mines engineer and they have already developed new front pipe cat and muffler front bar and several other products that he was not able to diclose any info on but they will be displaying all the new products at the Tokyo auto salon in january and told me that they plan on making a big impression so it should be interesting times ahead.Will post some pics as soon as i get bacik to australia.

no but I have some pics. we also had a little run in with the mines 35 GTR on the way home on the shuto expressway. the driver was kind enough to boot it as we got into the tunnel and my friend who was driving his 800ps GTR did likewise. got some awesome photos then too :woot:

MCR had their R35 there too. The mines car looked awesome being belted around Tsukuba too. :woot:

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
