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 ...

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
