Chatting to one of the instructors that had been involved with the GTR Launch said they are a great car, quick but heavy and will only last a couple of laps of the Nürburgring track then need to have parts replaced :blink:

Like what? Engine and tranny fluids? lol

Ask Tony Quinn what he had to replace on his R35 GT-R after winning Targa (which was over 500km's in competative length on roads a lot more agressive on the car than what the Nurburgring is - I have done both so I know!)

Awesome!

Looks like the R35 GTR is a regular at the N-Ring, hence the N-Ring sticker on the rear.

Im sure you can buy them on line but there is s Nurburring Fan shop in Adenau and another one a little furher down the road close to the track at the cafe/ hang out Fan Shop. I bought some for about 6 Euros per sticker. If you are cool you will have one on your car..... :)

A Pretender How so? I was at Nurburgring I did the Porsche hot laps, with the Ron from RSR. I did the BMW M5 Hot laps saw the two way cool Black R35's and took the pics for you and I do love them and all did was to report on what I heard from Dale Lomas from RSR The guy that did the laps at the Ring for the launch! Nothing more nothing less! :)

Do you believe that?

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
