I don't understand the controversy didn't the end of the article contain the verdict:

Verdict: Unfathomably good

If he is also saying it isn't a whole heap of fun versus a typical supercar then why

is that a surprise? which is more fun ..

a) flying a biplane

b) flying a cessna citation

which is "unfathomably good" ?

Has anyone watched the newest episode of Top Gear (season 11 episode 1)?

There's a very very brief clip of clarkson in a red R35 GT-R racing a bullet train, saying "bullet train? PAH!"

downloaded/watched that lastnite, trying to work out which episode its coming out on.

does it matter which episode? your going to DL them all anyway... or at least I know I am!

Loved the first episode of season 11... go TG!

Oh yeah, the GTR... does anyone take what Clarckson has to say seriously!? he entertains the shit out of me but I would never buy or not buy a car based on his review

He entertains me too, but if you peel away all the BS and jokes he's actually full of facts and insight, believe it or not.

This goes for his writing (esp. pre-2000), as well as TG.

unlike the gay boy on the new episode. haha

indeed. no GT-R. they all go to tokyo for the GT-R review from the looks of the preview... or some place with a fast train (maybe they painted the french TGV white :D)

they must go to japan to get their hands on one.. are they released in the UK as yet?

this also means that they wouldn't have put it around the TG test track which is a little dissappointing

also, given his review of the new evo, clarkson SHOULD like the GTR as he craps on about how easy the evo is to drive and this is the impression i get out of the GTR.. but he is rarely consistent with his reviews..

There are JDM GT-R's in the UK. Quite a few. At least one has been flogged around the TG test track. Not sure if the Stig has had a go around the TG track yet in one though. Hopefully a JDM GT-R will suffice for there purposes or we could be waitin til next season :D

ye that was shit. i have read on wikipedia that the new gtr, evo 10 and wrx will be reviewed. They clearly f**ked it up, as after the episode was aired, they changed the imformation by getting rid of the new gtr comment they had on that episode.

thanks for posting this. great read!

It clearly says to me that he was shocked with the car and without praising it like he loves it he just bagged nissan for creating something that he never expected could be done.

Yeah I love his writing, read a couple of his books and I agree he's actually quite intelligent... but much of what he does is purely for entertainment so I would be careful believing every opinion he has without doing your own research

Let's go inside Jeremy's head for a minute !!

I am extremely INTELLIGENT. I am hugely MANIC. I am very POPULAR. I am aware that I have a massive READER as well as VISUAL AUDIENCE.

No how can I write an article on the R35 GT-R that's different than anybody else - because I also have my WEAKNESSES (such as some technical savvy)??

So since I'm so much in demand as an intelligent, manic and popular PRESENTER in TG, I can at least stir up people's emotions with SUBJECTIVE comments and leave a few OBJECTIVE TECHNICAL Specifications to someone else!

This is why Post #28 is so 'spot on'.

Cheers,

Terry

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
