I've realised some people love the R34 GTR regardless of the new R35 GTR and its sexy lines.

I love the R34GTR but I think the R35GTR looks slightly better in my eyes!

Who's your favourite and why?

1. you realise well.

2. sexy lines....sexy times.

3. I fave both....a)..because the 34 has incredible performance and is affordable and realistic...b)..the 35 has brill tech, and can be found in many fantasy cartoons....oh..it also makes me firm-of-pant.

i just wana say that currently the R34 GT-R looks better in my eyes.....

but i personally think that it is something that will GROW on you.......

people are used to looking at the R34 GTR and now this new thing ......needs time to adapt.......

think about it this way...when the EVO 7 first came out........ how many people hated it and calling it "SHIT"

cause they were so used to looking at the EVO 5 & EVO 6....

now EVO 8 & 9 is a revised/facelift models of the 7 and is really, da bomb!.. very popular...theres no other car like it! (for a medium car, 4 door sedan anyway!)

as the 5 & 6 starts to look dated now in peoples eyes....

well as for the EVO 10.....how many people say "oh it looks crap......" or the famous...."oh i dont like the BACK of it..."

it will grow......

so the GTR R35 does look a bit funny in pics.....but in real life.....it does look amazing.....

you neva know.....they might even revive the looks in the comming series.

(just like the WRX 02...everyone thinks it looks like dogz ballz with the 'bug eyed' but the ones before the new model WRX was based on the bug eyed..and how good, do they look now)

IMO the R34 GTR is a better looking car.

Just a glance of the front of the R34 GTR can haunt you in your rear vison mirror.

Performance wise you can tune a R34 GTR to win over a R35 GTR and vicer versa, but thats with any car with the right performance mods and $$$.

But just the thought of owning a R35 GTR is awesome as from factory is compared to Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche Corvette.

I love BOTH cars.

An R34 have such a raw and powerful presence on the road, it overwhelms people including myself. Everytime I see another R34 GT-R on the street, it puts a big smile on my face. Very few cars can do that for me.

I still see an R34 having the classic shape. The R35 I see as a futuristic, science fiction type style and has yet to grace my palette, but i'm sure it will grow on me.

Agreed, from a pure driving past you, in your rear view mirror... the R34's road presence speaks louder then any words possible.

well thats because you had never, seen an R35 GT-R on the road

trust me....the R35 GTR is as much of a road presence as an 2009 AUDI R8...

and for something that is currently COSTING 140,000$ - 190,000$ AUD imported.... & 3.2sec = 0 - 100km/h, 11.2 sec = Quater mile................im sure as SHIT that the "Presence" is there....

Well i really like the new GTR but for me it isn't a Skyline anymore because of the whole design and especially the engine.

I knew that Nissan couldn't put the 20 year old RB26 in their latest model this is the way of development. But for my own opinion it's a whole new car, not just a facelift like from a Audi A4 or something.

I hope you guys know what i mean ;)

r34

the r35 is all good and well, new age, new product etc... but from a pure driving point of view Nissan failed in

1. the size of the car... no matter how you look at it, its a whale

2. the weight... yes electronics help it but reduce the size and weight and it becomes a much better car.

3. gearbox, hate the flappy pedal bullshit... clutch and floor shift all the way. it can shift as fast as it wants but precise clutch control will never be replaced.

well isnt that good?

i mean, doesnt it shit u with the people putting GT-R badges on thier GTS-Ts etc... and mock it up

this new one cant be mocked.....

apparently Nissan said that the car is no longer a "SKYLINE" because it does not share the same Chassis as the V35 or V36 Infinity/Skyline, where the previous skylines are based on the GTS-Ts etc

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
