While i haven't driven the R35, i have sat in one in Ginza.... and you are spot on about the cabin layout and finish. The 35 has a great layout and the seats/dash display are excellent. The build quality is "tip top" :) :)

Pics from the one i sat it... (and cried over when the ace salesgirl said 'no' to a test drive...)

Review was a bit "yawn" to me, nothing I haven't read in countless auto magazines. But at least you used your own photos this time!

IMO this is a better review:

Congrats on getting a drive Dan. Nice article. I so know how you feel when you get handed the keys. Lol it's a bit of a moment where you can't reconcile the want to drive vs. the value of someone's pride and joy.

It was worse when a mate in Singapore let me drive his one. Over there it's a $230k USD car so it's tough to go too rough on it. I did anyway...

p.s. the LED lights are simply Nissan options not Nismo items. If they were made by Nismo the price tag would be 1.8million yen. Per side.

And they'd void your warranty if you bought your car from Nissan Australia.

Brokaz: thanks for the feedback, I'll keep that in mind for next time. Hard to really jazz up a brief stint behind the wheel at predominantly legal speeds in a privately owned car. Thought it best to just tell it like it was rather than try and make it out to be something it wasn't.

Scathing: Great image, I love it lol

Sewid: Thanks for clarification, I was a bit curious about that when Carl mentioned it but he assured me it was a Nismo item so we went with it. Keep up the good work over at GTR Blog too, I'm loving it.

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
