Picked up my white R35 yesterday, white 8000k's perfect condition owned by a sedate driver.

Drove it like I hired it all last night, one word AMAZING.

Took couple of mates for a ride, both owned euro high performance cars in the past, both now looking for an 35R.

Thanks guys for all your replies to my previous posts, I cant send pm's until my "post count is at least 10" whatever that means but this should contribute to that count.

..... Im going driving !

p.s. my initial thoughts:

Amazing power delivery

Pulls like a steamtrain

Love the paddle shift

Sucks alot of juice when driving like its meant to be driven

Speed is very hard to monitor with centrally located Tacho (probably dont want to know how fast I was going anyway - bloody fast)

Brakes sensational

Gear changes a bit clunky at low speeds

Its going to take me a while to work out all the electronics in the display screen

I AM IN LOVE AGAIN - may my old r33 7 r34 GTR's never learn of my new affair.

Change the digital display in the Tacho region to the speed, I have this because the speedo is in the wrong spot for me. Also the gradient increase of 20km intervals up to 100km/h then the increase to 30km intervals throws me out, especially when near speed cameras.

Thanks guys.

The thing with this car isit just doesnt get any better as a mate of mine who I took from a drive said, this car has left very little room for improvement, certainly performance wise. Its so refined the amazing thing is you can corner at insane speeds but feel totally at ease (even passengers relay this) because the thing just feels like its stuck to the ground.

Even with traction control off its VERY hard to unsettle and when you do it only lasts a millesecond.

Now having said all that I want to look into a good mid pipe and a Cobb tune just to see how much more this baby has got. Its alarming to think about the before and after power difference in my old R33 & R34 GTRs before minor mods, if the 35 follows suit this thing will be comparable to a lightening bolt.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
