i have finally spotted another V35 sedan, in the same navy blue colour as mine today!!!!!

he had the 'poor man's' version though...no camera, no nismo bodykit, and was running 16" rims...didn't look like a premium version also...but then again, i could be wrong as i roared past him on my way home from Kingsway onto the M1 freeway ramp...looks like he had his gf/wife with him and was on his way into the city....

Well envy if you must...

I think I will top up my own high score in spotting the white R35 GTR on Tuesday.

Today I spotted another white one in flesh - in fact - I actually drove it...

Blasting around open freeways in a foreign country where speed limit is not enforced in a draconian way, it is such a phenomenal experience... very strong response from the 3.8ltr engine and hell knows how much grunt of horses of apocalypse it packed under that innocent white bonnet...

However I must say the GTR is also, beside a joyful car to drive, a bloody pain in the ass around town especially in traffic jam. Reversing is a nightmare with a limited visibility and a DSG gearbox that won't roll the car backwards when brake pedal is released, instead it will lunge backward as soon as accelerator is depressed slightly, similar in a fashion of any cars with twin/triple plate race clutch fitted. 1st to 2nd shift wasn't smooth either, similar to M3 gearbox, which just hammers with an aggression... and in auto-mode, there is still a delay between putting the foot down and kicking down a gear or two down for overtaking... but the following hit in face kind of G-force that launch the car forward kinds of made up to it.

I ended up playing with paddle shifter which is better and quicker response, and setting the shocks to comfort (which doesn't help much) as some areas have badly surfaced roads even worse than the corrugated road surface in Melbourne.

Will I buy it? If I have the cash, and another daily car, yes.

If I have the cash but I only have to choose one car as daily and weekenders, no.

GTR is a road version of a race car, it is not a road car in essence.

Millos, go to Mutiara Motors in KL and see if you can convince them for a test drive.

Even if you don't end up getting to drive one of their cars, I've always enjoyed just browsing the shop floor dreaming about which to get with my lotto winnings.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
