So, i know someone who owns an R35 GTR. I went to his workshop today and he took me for a spin. The car itself, only has 600kms on the clock, so he didnt cane the balls off it or use launch control. I was hoping he would use Launch Control, however he said he doesn't want to use it until the car has a few thousand KM's on it - fair enough.

Anyway, after a short "warm-up", we went through the back streets of Malaga and he showed me what it is "capable of". Holy shxt!

The accelaration is so smooth, the power delivery is so linear...it's almost as if turbo-lag is non-existant!

Every element of the car is just so perfect - it all seems to work together so prefectly. The gear changes/gear box is an amazing piece of innovation/technology. Each gear shift is so quick and smooth - it's almost like it isn't happening at all. When you downshift, the computer will "blip" the throttle - oh so cooool!

Words can not explain how awesome the R35 GTR really is. Being able to handle, brake, accelarate and do everything so well is just un-heard of!

After being a passenger and having my internal organs re-arranged, I can now see why motoring journalists and tuning shops are claiming the R35 GTR to be a super-car. Ferrari's Porshce's, don't stand a chance against this menacing machine!

If you ever get the chance to have a quick ride in an R35 GTR, welcome it with open arms!

Now for the pictures (as respect for the owner, i have blocked out the number plates) -

Pfft, the guy I know with one let me drive his :P

Awesome cars though. I was under the impression that Launch Control was actually disabled in the ADM 35R's.

What really spun me out is the computer controlled take off.. you can feel the computer letting the clutch out and finding its' own friction point.. really bizarre :/

My cousin bought one last month and my uncle is also about to get one because the 35 pissed on my uncles modded evo9. Bought his in wangara with price tag $189k drive away. He just had his 2k service engine still being runned in. Also had a drove in it and I can assure you that it's king of the street. He told me he has a special key and code designed for specially for each gtr as engine varies in hp and each engine is built by a different mechanic in jap. Either way power is amazing and when you see/sit/drive one it's even better. It's value for $ as comparing to buy stallion or bull (Ferrari lambo)

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
