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?

Its the Topsecret V12 Supra

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
