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...

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
