Willall Racing Buys Australia's First Official Complied/street Registered R35gtr


Recommended Posts

...

Remember, while "newer" is usually better in regards to technology, there can never be a replacement for the old school style,

& it will be a long time before an R35 can go flying past a properly sorted R34 or R33.

Hello new world of GTRs, & after years of drooling over photos on the net we can actually see & play with them.

...

I find that quote interesting. At Targa West an R35 GTR won over many well setup cars such as Evo's, 911's etc. So surely it wont be too long before an R35 wins other Targa events ahead of the older GTRs? (none entered in Targa West unfortunately)

Yeah I was down the workshop today and can vouch for the potent sound of the removed resonator from the exhaust - it now sounds much angrier ;)

Took a few more pics too.

Was good to catch up with Matt/Whatsisname down there too (for the youngsters: Matt is one of your old school mods who is rarely about these days).

Likewise, mate. It had been a while since I'd ventured down to Willall. A lot has changed! It was good to catch up with Martin too - it's been about 2yrs.

Although I had already seen the R35 in the flesh earlier in the year at the Adelaide Motorshow (where I caught up with Munro) getting a chance for a closer look at the car has confirmed in my mind that the new GTR more than lives up to the hype and expectation. It was only after Martin pointed out how large the R35 looks when compared to the other 'supercars' present (997 911 Turbo and Gallardo) that I realised just how big it is - mainly due to width.

The smaller features of the R35 that Martin talked about were really interesting and I am keen to see just how much can be extracted from the car with the standard ECU running the show. It certainly didn't take the guys long to begin dabbling with upgrades - nice work! The exhaust upgrade has already transformed the aural presence of the R35.

At the end of the day, I struggle to think of another production vehicle that can deliver so much for such a relatively modest price tag.

I'm hoping the humble offering of a test run in a twincharged Golf GT DSG and TRD Aurion will equal a brief on-road R35 experience :banana:

whos got the quickest 1/4 mile run for the r35 so far? i take it none are moddified enough to drop a 9sec pass yet?

Pete is an AWESOME bloke, knew everything about skylines

My engine was prob one off the last he built there before moving on

He told me that he just needed a change, he was actually building cars and working fo Keirs business (sandblasting i think) at the same time...

hehe if pete buys a 35 gtr ill be at his place all the time giving him free labour hahaha

Considering the GTR has been released on a global scale, for the first time in it's history, I'm tipping that we'll be seeing low 10/high 9 second drag versions sooner than people think.

Not only are the Japanese workshops already starting to develop upgrades, but this time the massive US market are gearing up to put runs on the board.

Sure are, a few of the heavilly cashed up 1000+hp 8 sec supra owners have bought them

and they went straight into the shop for mods. Can't remember but i thought they made

over 500-550rwhp on dynojet dynoes already(could be wrong and can't be bothered searching)

cheers

darren

blergh :D

35 looks like a beached whale compared to the sexy lines if the 34 GTR, that pic just proves it!

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
