well just thought, i would anounce i have a black r35 coming which should be hear in april and i cant tell ya how excited i am!!!!!

hopefully a few guys on this forum can make it out to the track when it gets hear, as we will try to get it out to QR before we start changing it.

i intend to have a section of the build process on that and the r34 timeattack car.

Ahhh, you guys built the crazy R32 GTR that recently raced at Tsukuba? Congrats on all the success :blink:

And congrats on the R35. Lots of us are dying to see how they go with mods!

Damn you have lotsa GTRs, how about spreading it around a little mate? :blink:

Nice work Russ, any particular modification plans for the R35 when it arrives?

Nick

r35 will get caged, exhaust , hopefully ecu modifier of some description for boost fuel timing & speed limiter, terratrip, seats, harness

it will be stripped out of alot of interior and not much else at this stage, want to be able to run buller and things like that.

the r34 will be 3ltr, autronic, hollinger, v8 supecar brakes, full ikeya arms, carbon doors and bonnet, caged, single seat, as light as possible for pure time attack events.

nearly all these parts are here just waiting for the bloody car!!

yeah too many gtr's! (mind you they are mark's as well!!)

my wife is really getting the shits and had enough!

but i just cant help it a lovem!! and just amazed at the new car that nissan have delivered!

Before the R33 goes i so would love to see some footage of it being driven in anger :blink:

hey roy , it,s coming mate!

we stuck into it over christmas , all new fuel system , pulled the engine back out and dry sumped it, engine should go back in.

i would say it will be on the dyno in two or three weeks, want to have it finished before starting anything else,

want to do a few events in it before selling it! probably do gatton street sprints up here in march.

so i will have vids of it and pics of car sometime soon.

what would be the best optin shan?

i was going to rally rego it

well if you're gonna go balls out and race mod it then you'd probably be better off with a race import. it'll also see the car in your hands faster.

if its gonna be sedate mods then putting it on the road might be more fun/profitable when you want to sell it down the track. that said, it'll be at least 6 to 8 months before anyone can comply em.

i'd go the race import, easier, quicker and cheaper.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
