I went to Jamboree at Willowbank raceway on the weekend and saw the new R35 Gt-r skyline up close, they are an awesome looking car and go hard as well. It ran 11 seconds and that was just standard! :blink: Apparently the guy wasn't allowed to drive it in Australia as they aren't approved over here yet, shame really they would be a really nice car to drive. :action-smiley-069:

I was in surfers paradise on the weekend and didnt even know Jamboree was on till the next day :( so sad.... what colour was the r35 gtr?

I am leaving Tokyo this evening, and I did just alittle better....

I actually took this Black Premium edition for a spin :blink::(

It`s been said a thousand times already and having owned prior generation GTR`s from the R32 to the R34. what Nissan have created with this car is not a new model...it truly is a new benchmark...

What really amazes me about the R35 is how un-photogenic it is...... I think its looks fairly average in the thousands of pictures we see day in, day out - Let me tell you guys, the car in the flesh is astonishing...and the sound of it...its honestly comparable to the RAW sound of a Ferrari 360.........as for the performance...well...that needs another thread :action-smiley-069:

Enjoy

That black one is HOT!!

Sorry to come across as sceptical but the rental place ( which i can tell it is from the photos ) just let you loose in the R35 with an international license...?

LOL dude you seriously suck so bad... you have the charm and grace of a chainsaw.

if have to disagree with that 100000000% - i agree the car looks very nice in the flesh, however the banshee scream of a ferrari V8 is ALWAYS going to trounce a nissan 6 cyl im sorry. there are a few GTRS here now and yes they are quick and look nice but they do not sound great at all. nothing on a 360 stradale or a F430.

Hey thats Den den town in Osaka right? I was there a couple of weeks ago.

I've only seen 2 GTRS and I've been here for over 3 weeks now!

Both the GTR's I've seen were in Kyoto. Having said that I'm in Beppu now, which isn't really the busiest place.

+1. Personally, I prefer the 355 + mille miglia; I'd buy a 355 just for the sound. It doesn't go better than my GTR, but it definitely sounds better :)

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
