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.

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...

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
