Pretty good but a bit over the top. You've got to wonder what a side vent that big would be used for on an FR car. The smaller vent at the bottom would be enough for rear brakes, then there's the f40 type vents, the ones on the bonnet seem too far back to be cooling anything but I guess they would have to have a purpose, but then there's the back ones again. What are they cooling?

Function criticism aside I actually like it as far as over the top body kits go.

Fake like a $12 bill!

Haha!!

The rendering is an artist's idea of what a Top Secret R35 might look like.

It's not meant to be a rendering of an actual car - it's a concept rendering. I thought it was pretty interesting.

Yeah I know man, I see where your coming from.

It's quite an aggressive bodykit render.

:blink:

Yeah I like it too :D

It'll be interesting to see if the rendering influences any of the bodykit manufacturers in Japan.

I always like more aggressive styling like that :)

This image has been around for a long time and posted many times.

I spoke with Hyobu Shibuki about this render in June which Top Secret were aware of and was told jokingly "that it was ridiculous, it has the Nardo 400 stickers on it not those ones shh" lol

The vents on the fender tops look good, though smashed windscreens from track debris would get very old, very quickly.

Looks like a prop for the next Fast and the Furious flick, no thanks! ...credit tho for the artistic talent and imagination. Stock R35 is sn incredibly horn looking piece of kit, anymore plastic or graphics just ruins it for me.

the vents on teh rear could be used for cooling the gearbox. Or simply for cooling cores for gearbox, diffs and engine. Who knows how u could affect the weight balance or what it might do the the aero...

Yeah the airflow would be affected a lot. The German DTM Touring cars also run some pretty wild aero on the rear. Here's a couple of examples ...

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
