Because Ive owned many Nissans including GTR, although not the 35 which I contemplated buying before getting my 6 series. Also I have easy access to the 35 here in Japan and my boss owns a Porsche.

The biggest 2 difference for me is the quality and at the end of the day knowing that its only a Nissan which anyone can buy. But thats is after living in Japan for 4 years. Unlike when I was in Australia, I see a GTR now and I dont even take much notice honestly. :D

I asked why they changed back buddy.

After a few months, they all switched back. :D When asked why, they said after you (get use to) the thrill of the straightline accelaration and hype goes out, they prefer the Porsche which I can understand.

well I can understand that. a GT2 or GT3 is a hell of a lot of car. The R35 is super impressive but it's an 8mil yen car VS the two Porsche's at 4 times that.

If money is no object I'd probably take a 911 turbo over an R35 and same goes for the GT2 and GT3 too. In fact of the three I do have a soft spot for the GT3.

BUT in the real world I live in, and with a budget to consider the R35 is a damn good deal. it's nearly porsche good for nissan money.

Anyone going on about lower GTR build quality obviously hasn't seen/touched/driven one, they're beautifully finished, with excellent materials, SO much better than any Nissan before.

Hell yeah, the car is built so well and very solid.

My choice would be a new 370Z, then spend whats been saved on hookers and coke :banana: Or else a turbo kit and a few other goodies.

Far more satisfying and interesting than paying lots more for something that is grossly overpriced like the Porsche or over teched like the R35. Having said that the GT-R would be better to drive near the limits than the P car, according to most reports.

The last point is true but personally I dont think the first is correct. This is just my personal opinion only.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
