Man that article is from January :P It's a shame but only 3 GT-Rs have been pranged so far as far as anyone knows. 2 majorly in SE Asia and one small minor one in Japan.

You know it wont be the last time Sewid.

If the Donut boys get it wrong in Tassie...welll.. lets just keep our fingers crossed that doesnt happen.

So far five have been trashed at Fuji Speedway and three at Tsukuba. Apparently their black box blacks out when things get over a certain limit and sends itself, and the car, into the closest wall.

I seriously doubt that, it may be what the drivers excuse is though

Stephen youre going to have to qualify that comment cause it sounds like bullshit to me.

This photo was taken at the Shinagawa NHPC though. I've had that confirmed by someone who went there Friday.

2 which have been reported. One smashed in HK, now one smashed in Malaysia, but yeah, probably more have bitten it as well...

i'm sorry, i'm asian (well half) and when i got to the mostly asian suburbs for food, whatever... IMO the driving is proportional worse than other areas... which i think is more due to what they're use to experiencing, rather than a deficiency of skill. It's not horribly unsafe driving, just 'bad' driving. Not saying all are bad, perhaps that there is an over-representation of bad driving in predominantly asian suburbs

have you driven in Malaysia? that's some scary shit right there my friend... but that's just the normal for that part of the world...

yup i agree, if you have driven in indonesia, Philipina, vietnam or whatever you'll know that it's not 'asian' that can't drive but it's the way they drive, there barely any rule axcept red light...

and they think white boys can't drive either 'coz you guys follow rules..

If the car is being "thrashed" the ECU drops into limp mode.

This has been an issue on one of the US R35's

I would imagine if your right up it and half way round a corner it cuts the power that might be enough to loose it.

Ill guarentee it will be one of the first electronic mods that will become available for the R35 " deactivating Limp mode"

I've thrashed a R35 and it didn't suddenly go into limp mode. 4,000 people have thrashed their R35's and they didn't go into limp mode.

There is a limp mode but it's got nothing to do with thrashing the shit out of the car.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By tidi0x · Posted

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
