Ask yourself what you want the car for....if you want to pose and do laps down your favourite street and park it in the valet car park at a hotel then go for the Ferrari, however if you want performance plus the ability to use the car as an everyday driver with 4 seats then go the GTR.

The Ferraris are a beautiful car but as the saying goes....Porsche for go and Ferrari for Show...ask yourself what you want it for and then make your choice

Couldn't have said it better myself - buy a car for its intended purpose, work out what you want to use the car for and then choose the car based on that.

Not to attack your comments here but I am not sure if it is that simple when you are talking about these 2 cars - particularly a Ferrari. Yes if its between a ford or holden ute.

Obviously you would want to look at the drive and pose factor when spending so much money. If not, why bother and buy a 911 right? Except I cant afford the new model 911 and the older ones look dated. :)

are 360's in the same price range as R35's over in jap?

they are significantly more expensive here? i know of a 360 spider on sale for $250k... much more pricey here i guess...

but yeh 360 over a GTR...

Not true, a 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena can be bought in Australia for a low as $165,000 a R35 GTR new from Nissan Werribee is $175,000.

I love skylines for the fact that they are cheap, nice, and easy to do up. However, r35 is expensive, and ill take porche 911 and of course ferrari over "NISSAN" any day. If i have to go shopping or gym with a Ferrari, so be it, ill survive hhahah :P

I dont rate Ferraris as i am a farking idiot who cant admit publicly that they are awesome and make you drive around with a big gaping smile from ear to ear....i mean i am simply too manly to asdmit that some Italian pose mobile is such an awesome thing to drive around in.

The GTR meanwhile is quick, but so is a coffee enema

As far as I am concerned it is that simple, but it comes down to what YOU want to do with the car. For me I would be looking at a car which can carry the family (incl. baby seats) and a bit of luggage if required, with the time spent equally on the road as well as the track. In this case the GTR is the clear option as it will do all of the above and still put in a good lap time. If I was looking for a 2 seater road car for looking & sounding good and MAYBE a track day once a year to give her a proper run then the Fezza would be my choice.

Personally if I was considering a Ferrari it would be F355 or the F430. The 360 never really did it for me. But I have never driven a Ferrari nor a R35 GTR so WTF would I know. My advice for anyone considering between different cars is drive both, and then drive another car that you hadn't considered just to give you a different perspective - in this case maybe a 993 or 996 Porsche 911.

And N/A - how the hell do older Porsches look dated? They all look the same! The 993 & 997 look virtually identical. The 996 just has different headlights. Pre-993s wouldn't be in this price range.

Virtually will depend on who looks at it.. when you look at it more and more, you start to see more difference. Kinda like when people used to say GTS and GTR are virtually the same! :banana:

I agree with Roy 100%, don't like Ferrari's but they are awesome!!!

Think of it this way, a R35 GTR is like Steve Hooker... The best in the world at what he does, but not really too good on the eyes

The Ferrari on the other hand could be Tatiana Grigorieva, is not quiet the best in the world but still very good and pleasant on the eyes

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
