Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the calming effect the R35 has on the boy racers.Especially the XRSSHSV ute brigade.I've got a nicely modified 300zx that every time I drive it some young V8 boy wants to race me.Since I've had the R35 the same dudes just want to wave to me or give me the thumbs up and take photos.Not even a hint of mines faster than yours which I'm loving as I do need my licence and in this car there is no stealth mode and I'm finding I have to check the speedo more often as what feels like 260 can quite easily be closer to 280.Got to say though when you do give it a bit I love the sound the turbos make and that's without a Willal Racing mid pipe which will be my first mod.(Martin Donnon from Willal Racing has not payed for this ad for any Willal Racing GTR products that I may or may not of mentioned)(spoken very quickly)but check out his website and have a look at the oil analysis photos.Very scary.I know I'm going on a road trip to SA.That's South not Skylines.As someone that believe it or not has not actually yet driven... say for example ,an F1 car but has driven that other techno marvel the NASCAR in my hurry to get thru a distant green light the other morning whilst being in M mode I did give it a bit of a nail and can only describe the experience as OMYGOD.So in conclusion I propose that in order to eliminate the road toll everyone should be made to drive an R35 and owning an R35 GT-R be made compulsory.Instead of this current KRudd government giving away money to teenage girls to have babies and widescreen TV's make them subsidise R35 GT-R,s so we can at last have a zero road toll.Anyone?

my GTR has yet to have anyone try take it on. no GT2's have turned up next to me at the lights, I guess no one can afford one.... :)

most onlookers are still in the honeymoon phase taking pictures etc. have had a moped and a bike pull up next to the drivers window for a chat on 2 separate occasions this week and a stagea before that. some girls wanted a picture in the car last friday night...... the shits out of hand for now

K rudd is helping the GTR though... via the business equipment tax concessions! haha - GTR taxback program may just have gotten sweeter with the new budget (only works up to the luxury tax threshhold). I am no accountant so better check it out for yourself.

Agreed, honeymoon period people are just amazed to see a R35 in the flesh. Nobodies tried to drag me yet either which I don't mind at all. I did have a pretty cool race with a motorbike last month though. I think that's the more likely drag races we'll have in these R35's cause no other car can come close.

All the better for you cuz they don't want to get ass raped by your R35 GTR.

I'll go out of my way to get nice cars to take off just to hear them :D

The R35 is a lovely sounding vehicle btw...

Doesn't matter whether I'm in the gtr (r32) on the bike or in the daily. Although the bike does seem to be the thing that the faster cars are happiest racing.

I'd like to see a 1098r vs R35 race.

Do a youtube search....their is a 1098 (S I think...) on there......1098 S Kills the R35 on the straights...but braking and cornering the R35

makes ground.......

Found it, very cool and pretty much as expected... Car = Braking and Corners // Bike = Acceleration

There is a good "Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera VS Ducati 1098" video too... outcome the same.

Probably means that the R35 and the Lambo are pretty damn close too.

Love the car but some owners are wayyyy too cockkyy. Sorry

Some - but some people are just cocks regardless what they drive. My experience so far says that most GT-R owners are OK - you gotta be an enthusiast, pretty wealthy one to own this baby. That's a world of difference to some M3 owners - slicked up hair, massive sunnies and ego issues - massive cocks.

probably not the smartest forum to post that sentiment on.

it would be just as ignorant of me to state that modded grey import owners hang out at 7-eleven whilst wearing their pants on backwards and hats on sideways

might be an idea to get to know some of them first, everyone here is obviously an enthusiast so keep the thoughtless typecasting to a minimum eh?

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
