Project R35 Gtr Targa Preparation - Progress Pics

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

How far are you guys gonna go on the tuning side of things?

As you probley know the ECU is untuneable / or very hard and the turbos are intergrated into the exhaust manifold...

[Duncan]

not allowed to change the turbos under targa regs anyway.

modifications allowed in class M1 are *very* limited.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

^^Right... Well I guess the cars quite fast as it is hehe!! So no need for too many mods.

[Adz]

So here is a cool little fact. Sure there is a 180 KMH speed limiter which is linked to the gps. In Japan when the car sences that it is at a racing circut it removes the 180kmh speed limiter.

How cool is that!!!

Not sure that targa roads are in its system but if you were doing more than 180kmh more than a hand full of times at targa you would be insane.

[Duncan]

haha count me insane then even our little one got to 180 a few times, there are some good long straights....I hate to think the speeds this thing will hit

I understand mines and probably others have computers without the speed cut already - I'm sure Just Jap will sort out something for this car before targa too

that's great if your in Japan, sux if you live anywhere else.

The car will be well over 180k heaps of times at Targa without any worries in the world. Most of the field do it as well.

Considering how much the car is, what your outlook is about the car, dont you think for it to be taken apart in what looks like a shed, a little sad??

Im not saying that paintshop or JustJap is somehow cheap, just kinda an unfitting end/renewal to a car hardly 1,000kms old.

I mean just look at whats holding this 'GOD' of Nissan... a freakin old wooden block...

It may be a new car...but at the end of the day its just a car. You are lucky i dont have one as i subscribe to Bird-Dog engineering (Cheap, cheap-Ruff, ruff )

Hats off to them for getting in there and being the ones to dedicate all the extra time and expense associated with being the first to do something locally

Just bring it home in one piece

Well if the year continues the way it has they'll be running in wet conditions, which should favour the GTR a bit as far as traction and handling goes.

Actually driving the thing and getting used to it could be interesting though, the bastards as wide as most tasmanian roads.

Couldnt think of a better car to use in the wet.

A Mines rep told me they had hit 350 in theirs,which is off the clock in one of those.

Thats almost exactly what Jason White said about his R34 after targa

I think it went more like "In the wet there's no car id rather have than the GTR" or something

I really don't know about that. Having done some wet track days there has been no chance of us keeping up with guys like Jeff Beaumont in his EVO in those conditions. The GT-R's are still a little hard to get fully on the gas in really wet conditions compared to those full time AWD cars.

[N1GTR]

Each to their own i guess, maybe it was a comment insipred by the result he got

Still, if i remember correctly he sold it off, got a drive for the lambo guys and the car caught on fire?

Wonder where that R34 is now

[Snowman]

Ask Marlin on here if he has seen it around recently.....

[giant]

I dont know about that.

Mark won 28 stages out of 32 in last years NSW dutton and won every wet stage which was about half, including motokhanas and short sprints.

even won some stages in the wet when other competitors did the same stage in the dry!! lol

gtr's are a great all rounder.

p.s: when their modified of course

yes GTR is king! well at least if you could somehow have a 1250kg GTR it would be. to my mind the only thing holding the old GTRs back is weight, and perhaps a little bit of nose heavy distribution. nothing $80,000 of bits and work can't fix though!

[N1GTR]

Oh, ok ill PM him

gtr's are a great all rounder.

Absolutly!!!

1250kg GTR it would be

Now that would be really nice, then add 650hp and you're set

[Marlin]

PM replied N1GTR

I'm SO looking forward to pitting the 34 against the 35 - (in the nicest possible way Steve & Tony)

[Just Jap Racing]

Starting to look the part now after signwriting

[GT51R]

so this means its the "donut" king....

i still cant get over the colour...

good job though...
