Wont disclose where or how, but theres a Gunmetal grey R35 Being tested for emissions by Nissan Australia at Ford motor company up in Broadmeadows.

Ive seen the pictures of it on the dyno, on the hoist etc - said to be the first Aussie test car to arrive on our shores!!!

Very interesting - the grey/gunmetal colour looks AWESOME.

Im still not sure if Ford are testing it or if Prodrive are testing it - id most likely say Prodrive.

Exciting stuff ... the dark / gunmetal grey is what I want ... hope we get the full range of colours to choose from.

I wonder when Nissan Australia will be able to release details ?

Indeed my mistake - the car is actually at fords proving grounds, cos the pics I seen of it were in there testing, on the dyno and on the hoist!!

The gunmetal colour looks AWESOME - how lucky would u be working at ford.

I think this car is probably the one that will be displayed at the motor show later this month!! So if its a different colour - id say theres more than one official GTR in the country!!! :thumbsup:

This is possibly that very car, although this picture was taken in NSW. I'm not in a position to give much away at this stage, suffice to say the owner is a bloody funny chap, loves big Nissan horsepower and says the GT-R is simply awesome. I'm reporting the story on my site as it develops and I'm hoping to get a ride in this GT-R on the track in the coming weeks - a video will be made...

This isn't the car that will be at the Melbourne Motor Show.

The link to the story and more pics is R35 GT-R compliance

As an ex-R33 GT-R owner I've got more than a soft spot for the R35.

I retract my statement.

I'm writing a cheque.

When the work is done, a certain someone will post on here to dispel the rumors.

It's very exciting. Some of what has been said is true and some is not true but rumors don't hurt anyone! The people who are bringing this car and others like it in are doing a great thing for the Aussie GT-R crowd who are actually keen on buying one.

Can't wait till the details are out in the open.

Just to clarify....How do you know it's Nissan Australia doing the testing?

We test cars there, too....

If it IS Nissan Australia, that's bad news, but if it isn't (as sewid seems to infer), then that's good news....

so, which one is it?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
