Hi Guys,

I have an R35 on order and was redoing some details with my dealer the other day, the latest news for Australian GTR's is that there will be no Launch control. Due to the failing transmissions and the issue with voided warranties Nissan Australia will not be having the Launch control function on the Australian cars.

I hope no one was pinning their decision to buy the car on 0-100 in 3.3 seconds, you won't be able to achieve that here.

Cheers,

Gibbo

i wonder if they will change the time specs for the car then :)

the world has become too obsessed with 0-100 times

it matters five-eighths of f**k-all anyway. besides, brutal standing starts on the street will likely get your car confiscated anywhere in the country, 'cept maybe the NT.

R35's have tonnes of low-end torque/response, and lightning quick in gear roll-on times. and that's what matters most

agreed, too often I have heard starving Africans comparing 0-100 times and using it as the soul basis to judge the whole vehicle.

even still, we were blown away with the 0-100 times when released. Has there been any other super cars released that have had to change their 0-100 times due to mechanical issues?

Indeed. A guy I know of has run over 100 1/4 mile passes since owning his, has 60+ launches on the gearbox, makes 600hp and his GT-R eats it up. He is actively willing the gearbox to break but it just doesn't...

I still wouldn't kick one out of bed...

Which particular R35 GT-R is this?

=/ well its confirmed.. no launch control on new models.

so0o0o does this make the MY09 models worth more in resell wise or maybe less due to trannie problems later??

Well its a lose no matter wat way u look at it, it was a new key advantage for the Nissan GTR.

pretty sure some aftermarket company could easily make a bypass around it and have a launch control system.

the times that Nissan quoted is without LC. Apparently, it can be replicated. Owners over in Nagtroc have managed 11.7sec quarter mile @ 120mph with a stock car, stock tires, normal fuel (93 octane) and NO LC. The technique is quite simple as well and anyone can do it.

Some guy over in Nagtroc America. He was trying to be the first person to break into the 10s. Got a 11.04sec pass before being kicked off the drag strip for not having a roll cage.

well how come every early review of the car had the presenter showing the 'launch control' process? :D

Correct. It's JohnTurbo's from NAGTROC. I've been closely following the build and racing of his car. Kicked off the drag strip when he ran an 11.04 (not using launch control) he put a cage in the car and went back out there and tried some more. Never did run a 10.9 though so he's now building it further to demolish the current record.

Pretty much out of fuel at the boost he's running at the moment so needs injectors.

well I've got 1 more R35 WITH LC that will be for sale soon. so anyone not wanting to miss out on the original recipe (or should that be hot and spicy?) R35 GTR send me a PM! It will definitely be the last one I bring in and it seems it will be one of the last coming to aus with a fully functioning launch control system. I feel everyone should get to experience R35 launch control at least once in their lifetime. Pulling over 1G of acceleration on the road, on street tryes whilst your air-con is running and your DVD is playing and your stubbie is in it's cup holder and the leather seat massages your buttocks is quite something. don't miss out. :O

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
