Gotta say, having seen both the Z06 and R35 in the flesh i'd be more inclined to take the Z06 as a track car. Sounds absolutely amazing and looks to be much more of a drivers car, the R35 has too much electronics and hi-tech gizmo's to really be able to have fun in it.

i race against a Z06 and they are really quick and heaven forbid very reliable as well. This thing has always finished every race its been in.

Ohh god just found out there a bloody dogde viper entered in the series as well now......

The bloke loves checking what gear he's in.

gee.. dont you love the keyboard worriors that enjoy perusing you tube? People that seem to know soooooo much abour cars and racing that have never stepped foot out on a race track..

hey, that is a bit weird, i remember getting lost with mine also, guess its a 6 speed thing. i remember i just used to skip gears on downshift, get confused and leave it in neutral. lol.

It's a V8 thing, sometimes I have to check mine to see what gear i'm in too :(

I was fine with my 6 speed in my old car, but then drove a mates with a short shifter and absolutely sucked at it and jumped gears!!!

didnt like the short shifter on them!

For me it was more of a not knowing what gear you're in, rather than missing gears. Not used to the torque of a V8! I'll still do it sometimes, 3rd and 4th can seem pretty much the same sometimes.

I've got a Ripshifter in mine and it's miles better than the stock throw. Stock is way too long... hell, even the ripshifter is still too long :(

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • 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.
