What Would You Do To Your R35 With 25 Grand?


Recommended Posts

I'd sell it and buy a ZR1 :P

No wait, I'd buy an exhaust system for several thousand dollars :)

Seriously though, if I had an R35 that I planned on keeping for a long long time I'd probably look at an exhaust system and some sort of ultra professional custom colour for it. Would be nice to see a couple of out-there, different colours on the R35...even if it depreciates the hell out of the thing.

See R35 Development thread. $25000 would be a down payment on all that carbon!!!

I would love to paint my R35 but $10000 on a paintjob that makes my car worth $10000 less

is a bit of a bitter pill.

Or you could just spend the $25000 on a nice R32 GTR to thrash to the shops & keep the

kays down on the R35!

Save the money for genuine service costs...

Thata a bit boring... lol

Nah, I bought the 35 to thrash it, not to baby it around and show it off to friends from my garage

Switzer package

Might be a little full on? Maybe the p600?

Put a down payment on a new transmission for when it shits itself...

sheil be right!

in all seriousness, I would like to get 10.xx down the 1/4.

Whats it take for the gtr to run 10's?

keep in mind its still going to be a street car.. will be used on track more then drag, but still want to own a 10 sec car before i die.

well haltech ran 11.1 in their car with boost and ecu tuning. I would say a 10.9 is possible with some boost, exhaust and some tuning. I would also say the haltech is probably the pick of the ecus around.

but it you want it to be a consistent 10 second car and stay reliable then I'd be doing a fair few more upgrades. look at a small turbo upgrade so you don't have to run the stockers so hard, you may or may not need bigger injectors to go with them, and look at things like transmission cooler to give the thing a chance at a long life.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
