Here's a quick review I generated for my LS1 buddies. Driving around at 60km/h it really is 'interesting'....you know its a BAMF :(

"In fact it reminds me very much of the Lamborghini rather than a santisied Japanese car. The all wheel drive transmission transfer pumps are loud and whine away at the trafffic lights, the clutch is sharp on the takeup and needs some practice for smooth low speed getaways. Tyre noise from the RE070Rs is huge. The engine is solidly mounted enough that you can feel it through every pore, and the whine from what would seem to be semi-straight cut gears is ever present. Drive it slowly around town in manual mode and the engine is gruff and blustery revving and blipping the throttle as it picks gears....its an angry bastard of a thing and that gives it character

Without doubt the feature of the car is the gearbox. Unlike any I have driven which includes E-gear, SMG, and F1 shift, this thing picks a gear in the blink of an eye, both up and down without unbalancing the car or changing its 'stance' mid corner. Thrown around on a slippery surface or in point-and-shoot tarmac rally conditions the car is capable enough as to be described as unbeatable so immense is the traction, so balanced is the chassis. Its well, far, easily more capable and quicker than the drivers inputs in this case"

As far as photos and such, after thinking about it I reckon the BEST idea would be to organise a day where you guys can come have a look at it, take photos whatever. That way no one will be interrupted etc. as that the purpose. If anyone wants to put forward a plan/meet point etc. then please feel free to go ahead and do so :P

Sled do I know you? If so refresh me! (my memory is pretty sketchy these days in my old age) :lol:

I used to sell you Alfa bits back in the day when Pete Hall used to work next door to me for Leon Will & Moff of Super Roo Spares at 964 South Rd, Edwardstown.......I even remember their 6 digit phone number, lol.

Reliance Motor Spares & Adelaide Engine Service ring any bells??

Incorrect.

This is the same car........first rego'ed in NSW.

Sorry to burst everyones bubble ;)

Well I think I MAY have a pic of the first registered one?

Was out the front of a swanky hotel (in valet parking area) here in Wollongong on the weekend.

I'm not going to say that it IS defiantely the first one, but looked very legit, i.e. no evidence of it arriving in any other fashion other than driving on the road with those registered plates.

which was confirmed later in that thread.

yeah but its no longer in sydney

so first registered in sydney

first living in adelaide

as it was only in sydney for compliance it wasnt really living there :down: if that makes sense :)

read the thread heading guys.......nothing about Adelaide being the 1st to have a 35 registered here.....it says Willall Racing Buys Australia's First Official Complied/street Registered R35gtr......doesn't say that it wasn't registered in NSW 1st

Not like a modified RB26 that just keeps on pulling but you have to wait for it or be in the right gear.

I have only just had a little taste but will definately be back for more.

how would a similarly powered RB26 compare? or would it take a far greater modified R34 GTR to equal the new r35?

Hugely so. My mechanic has a really cute saying ... "Theres no substitute for cubic inches... unless its cubic feet..."

Displacement ... compare 2600cc and 3800cc.... 1200cc extra...

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
