Strictly invite only tonight. No name, no entry, even if your with someone whos name is on the list.

Speed cut issue is already resolved from what Ive been told.

And to those who bagged out Tim, he is reading from a teleprompter, so dont blame him for the mistake. And he could afford two if he wanted.

Most certainly a V6.

Massive thanks to Fabcar for the invite tonight.

Huge crowd, with many of the big names in local motorsport, media and motoring all in attendance. One noteable exception was Kim Ledger, and special mention was made for the man who many there are close friends with in this incredibly difficult time. Fabcar announced a two car team... yes thats right, there is 2nd one waiting to go to be driven by local rally legend Tolli Chalis, along with Fabcar being official supplier of cars for Targa West 2008, and an all new website. Good to see them going from strength to strength and with 35 years experience in the import game, it is certainly showing.

Also a massive thanks to Fabcar, in particular Frank, Steve and B0BB0 for allowing me access to the car in the days leading up to tonight - I cannot say how much of an honor it is for me to have been allowed to touch, play and take pics of this thing.

A full story will be in PSC next issue I pray, so it could well be an exclusive for an Aussie publication on Aussie soil.

Heres just a few of the pics from the last couple of days, I had been gagging ever so slightly to put some up but respected the wishes of those who gave me the chance to see the car anyhow.

This was the channel 10 guys who came to film it on monday arvo before yesterdays news story, they were in awe.

Its nearly 2am so this will do for now, more pics soon.

Yeah, great to be at the unveiling, and as TJ has pointed out there is a 2nd car to be driven by Tolli, so this years Targa West will be really exciting to go and watch.

There still running the engine in at the moment, so the car hasn't been driven in anger yet, but by all accounts the gearbox is the ducks nuts :)

I heard that Nissan have refused to turn off the speedlimiter.

As it is based on GPS could be hard to bypass.

Anyone else heard this?

If it is still in operationg in the Aus delivered R35 GT-R, then I get to slap my stupid asian friend in the face :)

He actually agreed to it...

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
