Didn't vote because I don't have a R35 but would be interested to know what industry the buyers are from - motor, IT, medical, finance etc?

Just curious not doing market research or anything like that.

Oops, just noticed that my poll doesn't account for 45-50 year olds - oh well, put the age that you feel like, if you are in the missing bracket. I know some people in late 40's that feel like 25 year olds but some look and feel like they are 70 hehehe.

well the family business is going awesome thanks to the government and their over spending..... hopefully before christmas there will be another 2 votes on here, one for <25 and the other for 40-45....

although dads looking at muchialagos and 911's ..... ima get an appartment first, then an R35 in black or silver

should have added a "I don't have a 35 I'm just here because I'm a dreamer option" :D

yes you did with your "50 and under" option (ie last one) ;)

you didn't account for anyone over 50! which is probably quite a few!

"50<" is equivalent to ">50", although it is far less elegant, so yes he has provided for the 'older' people.

i didn't vote, but i'm almost finished my law degree... perhaps sometime between 30 and 35 ill be able to make a more significant contribution to this thread ;)

The quicker they depreciate Ric, the younger the age demographic will be LOL

medical, a lot of eurosnobs in medical though.

Damn straight, once I'm done with being an intern it's BMW-ville for me ;) Would still like the 35 though (just need to convince the wife that it's technically NOT a boy-racer car like the past few have been)

BMW???? Go Merc instead.... everyone has a bmw.... nothing bmw has goes like an sl63 or sounds like it

I want boost and something cool, so that limited me to an SL600 or a 335Ci....the 335Ci wins for many reasons (PRICE, PRICE, PRICE....oh and Chiptorque) :D

Damn right - which makes me think that the R35 GT-R is the ultimate expression of the midlife crisis hehehe.

This is prolly not true for USA or Jap since the price there is much better aligned with earnings of the majority of younger enthusiasts, but in Oz - 40+ year olds will be a great majority of owners.

I assume this isn't a photoshop, as the car is russian and they are just crazy enough to do that.

That car needs to be confiscated and the guy sent to one of those russian places where no one ever returns...

cl 65 is BI turbo, not twin turbo lol.... 500k new, 200k after 1 year and 5000-10000km on the odometre..... get a year old one lol

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
