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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
