Im going skiing man. Not going to the TAS this year otherwise id grab a TE37 off a rack and hand it to him and say "おい!お前! この TE 37 わ そのgtr に 見せて だろ 早くぞ!!

basically translated, " Oi!, you bastard, i wanna see this TE 37 on that GTR! And be quick about it"

everytime i look at that orange gtr i think about how absolutely edible it is...

The orange one looks amazing in the flesh. The quality of the paint is superb. Car was stripped and done right.

Sat in it today and man those recaros are comfy.

vanilla closed down before last year, BB//

thats a definite no go. Unless they got it reopened somehow..??

really? d'oh. I was there in 2007 though so it can't have been closed before that. unless I dreamed it? bummer. I liked that place.

I don't like the orange...

I'm with you. I don't like the orange either (actually, I don't like orange cars in general). Its just a bit too "flat" for my liking (compared to it being a "hyper lemon" yellow instead, to use JUN terminology). If I wanted a really vibrant, stand out colour for a stand-out car (like, for example, a Lamborghini) then I'd want it bright yellow.

That said, I don't think the GT-R should look that. Its not a "tough" colour. If I afford one the only colours I'd consider would be a bright red (not the flat almost-maroon the car comes in but more like Ferrari's), Nismo silver (the Z-Tune hue), pearl white or jet black.

350 Zeds look better

*runs....

350 what? what is that?

i'm usually not a fan of orange either but having the black wheel makes it sooooo much better, but to look tough they need the big Amuse rear wing.

Dunno how you can say it looks flat. It's one of the least flat colours i could imagine. I dunno maybe you just need a better pic of it.

maybe he means milky flat...

mmmmmmmmmm.....milkyyyy flat bright orrranggge jaffffa GTRRRRRRRR grrahhh gglluurghh

So it seems the body kits have started, but what about mechanical upgrades - is anyone doing thm yet?

Not a lot really - Most of the big tuners are still in the prototype phase with their own parts and several cars like the Mines and HKS R35's were said to be running test or prototype versions of the F-Con or VX Tuned Rom.

I overheard Trust talking about their GTR, and they actually say that the car is very difficult to modify and it will be some time before any real performance parts or upgrades are ready.

From what I saw yesterday, the HKS car had the most in the way of obvious visual engine bay changes, but these were only a pair of HKS Sequential BOV's to replace the stockers, a polished hard piping kit and HKS pod filters.

Top Secret GTR looks hotter, with bigger, darker rims it'll be awesome.

The orange R35 is equivalent to a big, oiled up pole-dancer. Too much sex, not enough foreplay.

Smokey is good at foreplay methinks :whistling:

R35 bodykits will be interesting, but i'm DHYING to see what mechanical mods the big tuners will come up with.

Can't wait to hear a 1000hp VR38 blaze through Tsukuba :D

And some Tsuchiya R35 touge videos, maybe even against R32/3/4 GTRs!

Yeah so nothing meaningful yet

Why did Trust say its hard to modify?

Ya. DCD from the UK forums tried to tell Top Secret about the spelling error but there's not much they can do in the midst of Auto Salon so it went on show exactly like that. Except with more hotties standing on it posing. Pics in a sec.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
