sewid Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 You wont hit the limiter in 5th but i certainly hit redline in 4th and it was still going. God knows what the speedo was reading. Everything was happening so quickly. You're doing about 190km/h indicated at approx 6000 rpm in 4th. The limiter is 7x00 rpm in a 35. I just watched my video of myself doing it again to make sure.

Beer Baron Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 meh, bit of artistic licence never hurt anyone... too much. lol "The delivery of the power took me completely by surprise and as i went up through 4th and 5th and into 6th, i was beginning to think i needed to show the car a bit more respect. I changed gears instinctively but the GTR drew me into reaching for the redline in each change" "Shifting up into 5th and then into 6th from around 80kph takes only a few seconds. I wasn't even 100% aware i was shifting at its 7000 rpm redline, thanks to the sensory overload going on infront of me," I must admit when I read those two passages I was a bit wtf?!? but didn't want to say anything lest I be accused of having it in for you. I don't care really. I don't doubt at all you drove it. and well done, you certainly beat me to it. but I'm not so convinced on the whole redlining the gears part of the story...

The limiter is 7x00 rpm in a 35.I just watched my video of myself doing it again to make sure. I think he must have his gears mixed, he said he was doing 65kmh and just over 2000 rpm in 6th. Unless he meant he was in 4th , thats closer to the mark.

Birnie Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Great read and vids, lucky so and so. Had my GTST now for 4.5 yearsand I've never been in ANY model GTR, as driver or passenger. You get to drive the R35 ya bastard ! Good onya Had a bit of a laugh at the "long legs" comment.

BIGS Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The whooshing of the wind and the slight whine of the turbos at 1.2 bar of boost as you're approaching the wrong side of the "law" is simply addictive. Just wondering you say 1.2 bar but when I read the official specs it says the turbos deliver 10.5psi? 1.2 bar makes more sense but just want to know if you or anyone else can clarify. Btw good read Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/204710-first-impressions-from-driving-the-r35/page/5/#findComment-3638085 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw good read He made a mistake. The R35 GTR peaks at 0.7bar. Around 10.5psi. (I think he added the other half a bar from what he had in his pants) I made a quick video of the MFD in full screen boost gauge mode while i ran up through a few gears but i cant be bothered to upload it...

BIGS Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) Cheers mate, since initially reading 10.5psi I have been wondering what power it would make at 1.2bar or more with stockers. (edit before some smart arse comments) That is once modders crack the factory ecu Edited February 11, 2008 by BIGS Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/204710-first-impressions-from-driving-the-r35/page/5/#findComment-3639186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 factory ecu is already cracked. nissan must have been helpful to get it sorted that quickly Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/204710-first-impressions-from-driving-the-r35/page/5/#findComment-3641202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
