hi all, just thougt i'd post a "did you know" section on the R35. Alot of silly facts that people dont know about really "raise the eyebrow"....

1- the R-35 GTR is simply called the Nissan GT-R. unlike any other model, it doesnt come in GTS or GTS-T model

2- the R35 GT-R isn't actually called a "Skyline"

3- After a track day, in order to keep the warranty, the owner MUST REPLACE the engine oil, gearbox AND diff fluids, which isnt cheap (a few $thousand)

4- if you turn off the "traction control" option on your GT-R, it is automatically logged at Nissan HQ in Japan, and your warranty is automatically void.

5- it DOESNT feature the "retarded" HICAS system like previous models

6- the new model code is actually CBA-R35

7- a damaged transmission, out of warranty, costs almost $20,000US

8- the designers of "Gran Turismo" designed the HUD on the GT-R's Dashboard

9- the 180km/h speed limiter is only released when entering a Nissan certified racetrack

Schooools out for Summer

Schools out for Ever

Probably a good idea to check if your audience is a bunch of window lickers without access to the internet before you come onto a forum assuming you are the one and only source of knowledge on there....

:D

I'll help you out with the facts that are just plain wrong because you aren't the only person that believes everything they read on the internet.

3- After a track day, in order to keep the warranty, the owner MUST REPLACE the engine oil, gearbox AND diff fluids, which isnt cheap (a few $thousand)

This is not exactly true. The only reason you have to replace fluids is if they have gone above 140 degs C - or if the total number of temperature logs of the cars fluids is above 120 degs for more than 5% of the fluids life. If neither of those happen you don't have to change anything.

4- if you turn off the "traction control" option on your GT-R, it is automatically logged at Nissan HQ in Japan, and your warranty is automatically void.

This is rubbish. Turning the VDC off voids warranty for the time that it is off but thats it and there is no magic secret squirrel signal sent to Nissan HQ. It's just logged in the cars "black box" which can be downloaded at a Nissan dealership.

9- the 180km/h speed limiter is only released when entering a Nissan certified racetrack

This is only true in Japan. The rest of the world doesn't have this feature and here in Oz they can run over 180km/hr whenever they feel like it. (Police may argue from time to time however)

The rest looks ok but I'm suprised you didn't mention anything about the LC. Surely you have some amazingly acurate LC facts?

Come on guys give the lad a break....I actually got a laugh out of it. I felt like we were just transported back to 2008 when everyone speculated about everything from transmission durability through to the "Fact" that this new GTR was "Untunable" due to Nissan Japan locking the car down so much.

I could add to these "facts" with little gems like:

Did you know that Nissan Australia is so tight that:

1) ADM Cars did not get GPS

2) We had to wait months to finally get the floor mats

3) We did not get the card input for our Bose Sound Systems

4) We did not get voice activation for anything

These little facts are ones that you would really have to search for.

And hoping for everyone that responded to "die a terrible terrible death" for "belittling" you, puts you on a much better boat doesn't it ?

Heres a thought, next time before posting how about doing a search, Also alot of more experienced members would find your original post "belittling."

You forgot to add:

5) We did not get any iPod/MP3 input options

6) We did not get auto lights or auto wipers

7) The Audio HD will only accept original audio files - you can't upload MP3's at all (so basically can only upload original CD's - because like anyone actually buys them anymore...)

8) You can not get a Premium model delivered with the Dunlop tyres that come with the base model.

9) Pulling the down-shift lever quickly 3 times will not drop you down 3 gears. You have to space out the shifts.

10) They should have been designed with a straight mid-pipe from factory!

Turbo31 - you are new to these forums, have just purchased an R31 and I'm guessing are under 20.

I checked your profile and in 4 posts you have started 3 topics and the 4th post insulted other members who have been here far longer and contributed much more - and said " i hope you all die a terrible terrible death". Poor form mate. Pull your head in.

To help you survive these forums, have fun, get some answers to your questions and learn about the joys and agony of owning a Skyline I'll give some advice/direction:

You should have started here Newbie Introductions

You should use this whenever you have a question Search Function

And you should read these SAU Guidelines

I can understand your enthusiasm in owning a new Skyline and you may find that you know more about these brilliant cars than most people you hang around with. However there are many people on SAU that have decades of experience in owning, building, racing, drifting, driving, displaying and destroying them. You will gain the most by reading their posts and learning from their experiences. SAU is a brilliant forum that I visit daily and in 5 years on here have only been insulted once. You've managed that in less than a week. Think about it.

Enjoy and take some consolation that this thread - whilst unnecessary and inaccurate for most on SAU has also provided the opportunity for those members who own an R35 GTR to quash some commonly held myths.

I have been tempted a few times to suggest the R35 discussion forum be changed to the

"R35 OWNERS discussion forum" but I suppose after all this is the "internerd" & we cant discriminate.

I agree with the above posts. Have a look around on the forum & show some respect before

posting in this section.

It is a great forum. I have been on here for over 7 years.

Lets use it properly.

Jesus, that'd be a little aristocratic wouldn't it?

I don't own one, nor do I wish to, but I've spent lots of time working on, being involved with, and actually racing one. Your suggestion would block me out. Although I understand your frustration re the original poster and all the associated drivel.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.

      Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.

      You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
