Visiting a few Car Forums last night and came across an Article about the R35 which took me to

a Forum "Rennteam"........

WOW........Takes GTR Hating to new levels......one eyed narrow minded arragent Porsche Nazis bagging a product

they have never owned driven or probably even seen in the flesh.

Just seems like most negative opinions and judgments are coming from Porsche Nazis........

Pretty sure their German and their home track is "The Ring" and they do race Porsche so sounds like sour grapes to me.

I was was wondering why my BMW X5 was looking funny at my new R35 in the shed..........

Must be under team orders to give attitude........haha

My XR6 Turbo ute knows its place......just give off rubber smoke when required & pay all homage

to new king of the garage.

i'd still rather a porsche

My Porsche CS is a great Sports Car.....the quality is Garmany's best and it does everything well......but if you

want R35 Performance.......300k plus please.

Not to mention the third party performance parts/help to be had for GTR's are all going to be a lot more affordable.

PS: Also in a Porsche you get dirty looks and attidude from most....but the R35 is welcome with open hands (except Germany... :P )

As I also keep the Cayman S in the same Garage as the R35 I have to keep covers on both at all times

as I fear the Cayman may bite the R35 when I'm not there........... :P

PS: It's all good.....would be boring if we had nothing to compare our rides against......R35 is the best performance bargain ever...!

Yep, true dat. Performance bargain. I am just getting settled in to mine, but can already see greatness.

I love porches, have driven all except GT2 & would love to have a Turbo in the shed ( & maybe I will oneday!)

but for now am happy to play with my Jappers.

I just sold a BMW 550i & will miss the european smoothness & comfort because a regular daily driver my R35 is NOT!

Of course that does not matter on Sunday morning when the hills are beckoning..........

The Exige is pure Lotus as it gives the Driver so much feedback (very nervous feel to it at speed)....this tends to allow you to take it to an inch of it's limits .....Build quality is OK....but could be a lot better.

Cayman S is more removed and relaxed but harder to gauge it's limits and has thrown me a surprise or two when playing around bumpy corners

in lower gears and foot on the pedal.......no LSD so it can spin-up on the inside around bumpy corners and throw it's bum out.......all good but as

electronics sort it quickly.

Build quality is the best in the world.

GTR R35.......I have 6000k's now and am amazed every time I drive it.......This Car has ruined me wanting to drive anything else as it has everything I

EVER WANTED IN A PERFORMANCE CAR ......Handling is fantastic....just does everything so well and love playing in the wet.

So now I am only driving the others as to keep the batteries charged.

Build Quality: Very Good.

Hey Below is some pics....Exige in bits as we fitted a Genuine Lotus Sports 240R SC Kit and the Forged Lotus sports wheels and AP Racing Rotors/Calipers..

Special Oil Pan .....SS Braided Lines...etc...etc..........155 Pieces changed in Total.....

Killer. I took my wife out for our first sat night cruise in the R35. We decided to take a little spin up the freeway after dinner & just happened to pull up next to a bright red GT3 & an XR V8 ute at the lights at the bottom.

What a dust up......... brilliant car. My two R33 GTRs have heaps more power but this R35 is so refined

& feels really fast. Amazing thing is it is going even faster than it feels!

My first encounter......... Porsche 0 Nissan 1

Also like being able to pull up next to cops & not having to worry about defect (bit of a problem in a 500+kw

external wastegate GTR!)

I am going to enjoy getting to know this car.

I have only had one very late model 911 next to me and I think he knew it was going to be one sided and behaved himself and stayed just in my quater panel...I can't get any serious takers.....I think they are all in the know...... :(

Some more Pics of Exige 240R Mods....

Pan.....AP Rotors going on....and pile of 240R SC Kit straight from Lotus Sport UK....

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
