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....

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
