lol, yeah but that nishi azabu richard! it gets even more expensive in roppongi hills.

6 Oz for a starbucks coffee is highway robbery! f**k i can starbucks at the conbini for 200 yen.

must be sydney. 1000 yen on it.

[Sheng]

and thats with 2 sugars

[Beer Baron]

yeah agreed. conbini starbucks vs the fresh one aint really the same though. and even in japan i think a grande size cap is about 350-400 yen.

and you are right, azabu aint cheap, it's the most expensive coffee i've had by about double.

and man we have gone way OT.

and if you are nice I'll shout you a 1500 yen cap in azabu next time i'm in town! lol.

now, back to the GTR. umm yeah, it's in sydney now.

[Sheng]

also you gotta ask for spoon otherwise they wont give i to ya

R35 yummmmm...

[SS8_Gohan]

if the owner or friends/connections to the owner are reading this, can you please direct this car to www.finalinspection.com.au, and fly Damian up to wash/detail it

This car deserves nothing less than Damian's expertise to bring this car back as it sounds like it's positively filthy!

Seriously though, if it indeed gets a respray (soooo soooo wrong, just vinly the f*cker!) then get Damian to do the final detail before it goes to the public, there's only one man for the job

[m3gtr]

hey richard, you didnt end up getting to drive the GTR while you were here did you?

*grabs phone and calls nearest nissan dealer in tokyo*

BRB.

[grandmasterb]

Well I can't wait till Friday, will see what all the big boys of the Jap tuning scene have done to tweak the R35's

Plenty of pictures and a full thread on Tokyo Autosalon to come.

Dont you go having too much fun, you have work to do whilst over there

It will be great to see this thing in the flesh when it hits our roads down here, certainly will be a true test of how good the car is. None of this thrash it around the ring for testing, bring it to Tassie and the best roads in Australia

[m3gtr]

i spose im not the only one whos seen that J spec have a black R35 in japan they can flog as a race import?

[Beer Baron]

I don't think it's theirs. Jspec just list other peoples cars. it's probably at auction or at a dealer, or maybe a yahoo car. but I'd be pretty certain they don't actually own it. just they will buy it for you if you want it.

[lingeringsoul]

+1 for vinyl pink rather than paint pink

[m3gtr]

you know thats the confusing thing...

How can they be so sure they can secure the car if they dont own it?

[funkymonkey]

yeah J-Spec don't actually own any of the cars we list... they're sourced from dealers, wholesalers, agents, auctions etc. when a customer wants a car they pay the seller directly. Fairly sure that R35 was from a wholesaler. As soon as it becomes unavailable its taken off the list, but till then its still available for purchase.

Craig and Ben are over in japan atm for TAS and to inspect/buy some cars, so they should be checking it out in person though.

[R338OY]

I drove over the Anzac Bridge today for work and tried to spot the R35 you all speak of. As i crossed the bridge, not looking ahead for the entire length and possibly almost crashing, i'm positive i spotted an R33 and an R34 GT-R, both in white (F*k knows how i spotted them amongst all the other white cars) but no R35.

I left the bridge a little depressed...*sighs*

[Blitz]

hey richard, you didnt end up getting to drive the GTR while you were here did you?

*grabs phone and calls nearest nissan dealer in tokyo*

BRB.

Im working on it, and may be driving one within the next few days before I fly back to Sydney

[Blitz]

Here is the white one in question in Sydney, after arriving at Just Jap this morning

[Duncan]

haha I don't think they will need Daniel to detail it quite yet....since they will need to strip it, seats, dash, interior trim and pull the windows out in the next few days to put the cage in.

apparently the seats are a good 25kg each so I reckon there will be a couple of second hand r35 seats for sale very soon. wonder if they bolt into an r32?

[funkymonkey]

prepare for the transformation

wonder how much JJR will want for R35 spare parts?

[sav man]

I don't know what all the fuss is about pink, how much more is a bright pink R35 going to stand out than a white one. And i'm sure the owners don't care about resale if their gutting it and racing it.
