Hey guys, well I have just got back from Top Secret and they are keeping their R35 project pretty hidden away and appear to be working furiously to get it to where they want it ready for Tokyo Autosalon in a few days time.

The only visible changes at this stage are some mild exterior touches, the usual Top Secret sticker collection and their trademark Rays GT-C's wheels with gold centres.

The photo isn't the best, its been very overcast today, and the workshop is closed off.

I feel sorry for the STI and EVOs, no one's even giving them a glance.

That's what Mitsubishi and Subaru get for releasing new vehicles within the same year as Nissan releases its GT-R. They should have either released them at the beginning of the year, or some time next year. :thumbsup:

Its like movies that had the same release date as the Star Wars: The Phantom Menace or Transformers. They weren't going to get a look-in on that weekend, no matter how good they might be in isolation.

The only companies that would have a hope of competing with the GT-R for attention would be if Honda released an all-new NSX. Even the Lexus LF-A, with its apparent GT-R beating Nurburgring time and F1-inspired V10 engine, doesn't have the history to match the hype surrounding the GT-R.

And the fronts look like they need less offset. There's not enough dish.

Part of the charm of the older GT-Rs is being able to run low offsets and get mad dish / concavity to make the car like super wide.

Agreed

isn't that an S2000 in the poster above it?

I don't know for sure, but if you look close enough at the poster, it shares the same style C pillar with the R35 GTR.

I can't make out whether it has the trade mark stove plates though.

Anyone else notice the GTR poster in the background (above GTR) with different body kit? Maybe a hint of what is to come?

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
