(But as there ist some questions i may post it here aswell i hope ?)

Hi out there ! Just wanted to say hello to everybody. Yes, just to start: I´m living in northern Germany near the border to Denmark. I was just looking for some good & informative sites regarding the R35 and stopped at your place here. I have already found a lot of interesting issues and news, so thanks for that.

I´m looking forward to get my R35 (Premium Edition in silver).....and that will arrive (What a mess) in DECEMBER 2009 (!!!!!)

So here is my first querstion to you: As the realease for the r35 was confirmed and people started ordering the car, i expect that the new owners could log in on this special GT-R website (http://www.gtrnissan.com/) to check out when their car would arrive, or did you have other options ?

If so; how exact was the date you got there for the delivery ? Did it change as time passes by ? Or was the deliverydate fixed and your car came as expected ?

My dealer told me before i ordered that the R35 would be delivered i Germany starting march 2009 and he did expect that my car would come in septembre 2009 (As he could´nt give me any more accurate date before i finally ordered the car). I think it´s a very looooong time to wait, and i hope that Nissan raises the production so that they maybe (hopefully) produce more cars so i can get mine R35 before december 2009 :-)

Hmmm, meanwhile in the waitingtime i just finished my smaller version of the R35 (A imported 1:10 scale modell from Tamiya.....It really hits nearly 50km/h, that must be approx. 30 miles/h :-)

CU !

Christian

Dealers here have said March 2009 delivery from the very start of this year.

That has not changed, in their opinion.

I have put and order down, already. I hope they stick to their word.

I am not holding my breath though, I am expecting Apr or May 09, knowing what car salespeople are like.

By the way, I am going to Frankfurt in Feb 09.

Can you please tell me if the roads of the BlackForest and Nurbugring are snowed under in February?

Is it worthwhile going for a drive in those 2 locations?

Thanks.

Hi !

Normally february & march are the worst monthes to go t Germany. Everything is white & snowy. The last 3-4 years the winters have been quite harmless....so maybe you´re lucky :-)

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
