After a few hundred laps of Oran Park, a handful at the Creek, a 10 second quarter mile, and 80-odd laps of Bathurst, I needed something different.....Texi Skids. Yep I took the R35 out to the skids last weekend, managed to finish first in the Go to Whoa, and then got into some drifting! To be honest, some of the Skyline boys were absolute genius drifters, and I was the novice. That said, for a first timer the R35 and I went ok. Check out the photos below and the VIDEO!!!!!!

great driving the other day, and I'm surprised how much sideways action the computers let you get away with in the wet.....you had some pretty big angles going and the car wasn't calling "game over"

good to see another r35 being treated the way they should be

Was very disappointed to find that the GTR is not a proper auto instead a manual. WHen back home in Moldova i will get another AMG

LOL what are you smoking my soviet friend???? GTR has always been manual untill now in which case its still a manual with auto twin clutch..... An AMG is completely different, and which AMG, none of them compare to a gtr in any comparison no matter how you look at it?????

Glad you had nothing to do with the R35's development, because i suspect if you did we would be shit canning it right now!

Looks rather understeery?!?!?!?! I imagine the twin clutch gearbox makes it hard to do these sort of events as you cant really handbrake and clutch drop to get the car around the tighter cones. Well at least thats what they tell me regarding the EVO Xs with flappy gearbox so expect teh GTR could suffer the same fate

Goddamn, this thing sounded awesome!

Had the pleasure of being one of the officials there, which meant i was literally 10cm from the car when it launched. Down side was having to sit down straight after to hide the tent!

Also i was the one that timed you on the Go-to-Whoa and to see you do it almost 2 seconds quicker than anyone else was pretty awesome.

EXACTLY! God I miss my STi in these kind of events. You hit the handbrake in the GT-R and I think diff releases to allow rears to lock and then when u go to power on again it take what feels like an eternity for the electronics to allow the throttles to open again.

Cheers, yeah it was pretty good on the Go-to-whoa, would have been a lot quicker in the dry though!!! Whilst you could argue the combination of weight, no handbrake, and no clutch led to understeer, it would be more accurate to blame the driver. It was my first time in this sort of event, and I was just learning the ropes. We did a couple of runs with no specific course, and I managed to get the thing humming, but it will take a fair bit of practice to nail those tight courses.

Anyway, I highly recommend the event.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      Your claim of "same turbo, same boost, same timing" is why I commented on it. You can't change how the exhaust flows, not alter the ignition or fuel map, and instantly say one is worse than the other, as one is likely now out of tune to the other.   While turbo lag isnt great, it's also not the whole picture. Nor would I say the factory manifold is the best for fluid dynamics. That and most GOOD aftermarket manifolds additionally aren't aimed at stock/small sized turbos, nor do most of the companies building them have a Great idea on fluid dynamics, they just understand and build to the same basic principles. Those aftermarket manufacturers also don't have epically huge budgets to go doing shit tonnes of R&D to get the best performing manifold.

      I've got a Nexus for one of my other cars and I was surprised how simple it is to use and seems like a good quality bit of gear. The tech support guys are good to chat with too.

      My point is more so focused on the division between cylinders 1 to 3 vs 4 to 6. Any low mount "bolt on" aftermarket manifold utilises an open T3 collector which has crap all scavenging effects. Sure it might allow you to slap in more timing up top to make a little more but you'll lose all the down low performance. Even Tao from @hyper-gear has experienced the same when modifying the stock manifold. He has experienced added lag by cutting out the divider inside vs. leaving it alone. Twin scroll works, even if the effort is focused primarily on the manifold and an open scroll turbine housing. Please don't confuse me with a V8 NA or Americans that thinks you need back pressure in a 4 stroke motor.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      I bought mine from Concept Z https://conceptzperformance.com/hks-stainless-steel-catback-exhaust-system-full-dual-muffler-infiniti-q60-coupe-17-cv37-awd-rwd-31014-kn001_p_32626.php Put it on myself. Very easy jack stands. But if i was going to do it again i would get something like this   https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-infiniti-sport-exhaust-kit-axle-back-exhaust-system-infiniti-q60-17-coupe-cv37-b0100-q60st_p_30289.php Or just straight pipe it the whole way. I drove the car without an exhaust for shits and giggle when i was swapping it and it's not very loud at all.
