Recommended Posts

heaps of older dudes have gtr's the guy that just bought mine came to my house with his dad who has a 32 gtr. and at one stafge my dad was gonna buy my gtr off me but decided to get another beemer instead. its how u drive not who drives it son. and i seriously doubt more than 5% of the people could afford a r35 any way so what does it matter just wiat till they drop in price in like 10 years like the rest of us lol

Ive been thinking alot about the new R35 and how much of an awesome car it is. Something that ive been wondering is how many fat bald middle aged men are going to buy them and think they rule the road over all the other "import" skylines.

Do you think that what we need is Fat Bald Middle aged Men Mind control helmets to stop them thinking such thoughts.

Actually I guess the only people worried about them thinking these thoughts are people who can read thier minds as they drive down the road, like you?

With such an abillity, perhaps you are a ninja and can bring us all justice on the issue .As it indicates from your website; www.realultimatepower.net

No you will not be able to afford it by working at a local Safeway/Coles stacking shelves or flipping burgers at Maccas/Hungry's.

However in saying so, 150 K is not much for a car these days. You just need to get a decent paying job, stop wasting money on booze, smokes, useless mods and partying... save, save and save.

Make sure you own a house before you go out to buy the GTR. And off course, dont be a dumb ass by buying it off the showroom for 150 K... wait anothr 3-4 years and buy it for 120 or so...

I'd love to have one next year, but currently I need to buy my first real estate... so the car can wait, plus I have my R33 to play around with... it aint an R35 GTR but still fun.

I'm 26, make a bundle of cash, have my own house but, I'm content to throw my money at my 32 that cost me 11k.. each to their own.. like others have said, I can't justify buying a car off the showroom floor!

Yea, Thats true i am in the same boat id rather throw money at my 33.

congrats to those who have placed an order with nissan for the limited numbers that are coming here.

i always have a rule of thumb when buying or budgeting for a vehicle;

income per annum= total price of the car

eg: if you earn 50000 pa, max car price should be no more than that :D

P.S. funky munky, did you go to Epping boys? meant to asked you years ago but didnt.

Im a driving enthusiast... I enjoy the drive more in certain types of cars as compared to others. I would enjoy that experience in many vehicles regardless of badge... The better the performance of the vehicle.... handling...accel..decel the more I find I enjoy that experience. The r35 would garner some sweaty palms, a hard on and a smirk that would make a hoore blush..... but the means I have are restricted so i drive a 33t... I still get plenty of enjoyment out of it... I think it's pretty in a too long kind of way but get her out an screaming ... you know what im talking about..

we should start a petition for our own nordeshliefe! SERIOUSLY!

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
