CRD having a poke around the new platform's chassis and power/drivetrain is already putting them ahead of the other Oz tuners. They'll have more direction in part development and tuning just by having it on hand IMO.

CRD appear to be pretty khuneckted :P

It appears that way. Im still sceptical.

Have they paid for the thing or are GReddy using it as a demo. That would make more sense. No doubt Nissan knows about the situation here in Oz with the grey import rules and messers Buckley and GReddy are part of Nissans performance chain - they have been for decades. Theyre not some local shop selling other peoples products. For CRD to get their hands on one and claim to be on the road to development gains before the official release is dubious for me no matter which way i look at it.

Yeah, feh sure, i can just see GReddy singeing that bridge with Nissan Japan right now, dontcha know?

They've had a relationship with Trust going back years now. I guess it's just strengthened lately and it makes sense to leverage this opportunity for marketing in the region. CRD own the car.

Greddy's relationship with Nissan Japan wouldn't even register this as a blip on their radar.

Don't think crd would "own" it, so would be interesting to see how much "development" the Japs will allow CRD to do...

Hope they do something special with it... :)

Incorrect.

CRD owns the car, the signage was part of the deal as they are partnering with Greddy

There are a handful of them in Sydney now that will be road registered shortly, so tough titties to Nissan.

CRD's car will not be the first road registered R35 in NSW.

For CRD to have the financial ability to buy the R35 for development purposes already places them WELL ahead of other tuners in Australia as has already been said, and I have no doubt we can expect big things from this particular car. Don't be surprised if you see CRD pushing the limits of the VR38 before other well known Japanese workshops do :) Mind you, considering the replacement cost of a VR38 is in the region of $40,000 AUD, you'd want to have some serious coin in the bank before you went trying to test the engines limits!

jesus what is all the negativity about?

Australia led the early development of 32 gtr performance through Gibson motorsport, I think its great that CRD have the means and the guts to buy an r35 and start developing parts for it. Good on them!

Its good to see an aussie company having a chance to show everyone what we can do. I honestly cant think of another tuner in Oz that deserves the chance to show the world more than croydon.

Look forward to seeing what they can do.

This is were it gets interesting, Gibson were not allowed to bring there touring car over and particapate with the Japs... someone was worried :laugh:

Im not sure if I want to see the Japs getting beaten at there own game, wouldn't be suprised if it happens..

Cheers Tomek

nice work! I think it's great for our scene. I don't really care who owns it, it's here and I'm sure CRD will do some great work with it. and personally I reckon the colour scheme/graphics look pretty cool. Well done CRD I say.

Exactly.......I remember an interview with Jim and Mark [Richards/Skaife] where they said that the original Aussie R32's had to be modded just to get them competitive and reliable. I also seem to recall that Nissan japan took these idea's and ran with them for a lot of their own race teams.

Although things have moved on from those earlier heady days, I don't see any reason why CRD and other Oz garages can't contribute to the R35 development.

sorry, that makes absolutely no sense at all.

Why does that make no sense at all are you of the opinon that no one outside japan is capable of moding a R35 GTR ?. It seems to me that if any workshop has access to the car at the same time as japanese workshops there would be no reason they would not be able to develop thier own parts in a similar time frame. As much as i love japanese aftermarket parts they are not always the be all and end all of aftermarket performance. Take the australian made APS turbo kit for the 350z wich is a popular kit in japan and according to a japanese fellow i spoke to at tsukuba that had one fitted to his car is better quality and makes more power that the turbo kits offered from japanese manufacturers. And like has already been stated australia led the devolpment of the R32GTR so I see no reason that australian companys cant be at the forefront of development for the R35GTR makes complete sense to me.

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
