Hey im a Nissan lover from way back, but perhaps its a boring review of a boring car. I mean it sounds crappy, is very stable...and it was privately owned. So...good review of a boring car???

Give the thing some pipes and a button that turns off all the gizmos and see how balanced the thing is. Its like the modern super fighters, without their computers the things wouldnt fly let alone perform the way they do. The computers make them, dont complement them. Thats what i am feeling about the R35.

Not trying to sound like a hater....but its about what i expected it to be, very complimentry review for a great performing car. Just like years ago when Top Gear, Clarkson, Harvey and Burns all test drove a bunch of cars (911, 575, Elise, 3000GTO etc) and the R33 was fastest...yet didnt even make the top 3 or talked about that much. Brilliant cars dont make for good fun...not always

Clarkson loved all all the old Godzillas. There is no reason why the R35 should be any different. Its faster, built better, handles better, light years ahead in technology and is priced similiarly (taking inflation into account).

yeh, i remember clarkson doing the other reviews on the GTR's and that one JUN did they tossed a bunch of cash at and he said other than the gauges the car was an animal.

i do think the fifth gear review was alittle boring for a car that had huge expectations from the media/public, setting the times it did on the nurburgring was quite impressive, they way they hiped the adds up and at the start of the episode was like it was a new amazing car that we had never seen before, but then the review came and i felt alittle disapointed with his review. felt alittle rushed.

but thats my opinion.

It was a privately owned car.

No doubt everyone is waiting on Clarksons review because he will say what you want to hear.

Thats what i think :D Ppl would say its an excellent review of Plato had a big hand feed and creamed over how good it was. He gave the car a big rap....perhaps he just wasnt as fan biy about it as many loyal Nissan folk woudl have liked. :)

How the F... did you all miss the most important part of hte review... Did you SEE the downshift ... it wasnt high revs but they creamed the shit out of allot of expensive dsg's.... Made me quite horny

Sounds a lot better in the flesh... The audio should have been setup to hear the engine note better too as it was too quiet in the episode.

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
