Saw this R35 GTR at MSCA sprint at Sandown 18th Jan 09 - my car is the blue 1600 beside. Shows how cars have grown over the years - 40 years of Datusn/Nissan evolution from 900kg 4 door family car to 2 tonne monster.

The GTR was doing 1:23s with 180km/h limiter still in place. Despite hitting the limiter about 1/3 the way along the straights and lots of cars overtaking, it was still the fastest car on the day.

The GT40 in the front will almost certainly be a replica either a DRB, a Tornado or infact any one of atleast a dozen different knock offs that you can buy. The shame of it is I have yet to see one driven properly.

They are pretty to look at & apparently ok to drive. Not sure as despite a couple of my mates building them I can't fit into the damn things. Gurney bubble anyone? :P

Thats true, last time I was out at Sandown with MSCA, I was held up for a few corners by that GT before finally getting alongside it on the straight and passing it.

There will be another Black R35 GTR Premium edition doing some laps this Saturday at Sandown, together with a Porsche GT3 and 2 x Ferrari 360's as part of the Driver Dynamics Track Day with Kev....

I will be interest to know if it can get into the 1:23s with the 180 km limiter still on

what are you planning on doing with the fluids? Will you stick with Mobil 1 or go to something like Redline? And are you planning on changing any of drive-train fluids to that Willall stuff? they claim a lot less particular matter floating around than the OEM stuff...

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
