Now I'll bet my left nut, that if the R35 was really hard to drive quick...everyone would be saying how good it is because its a mans car.

Tbh I wouldnt care if the things ran 55secs in reverse around wakefield. They are still a rich kid poser mobile, Just like most Porsches, Ferraris etc.

As for this wing making a 1 sec difference around a slow track like wakie....well I'm a bit skeptical

But then again...if I just spend 3+ grand on a towel rack id want to justify it to myself as well.

i am neither rich, nor a kid. i bought the r35 because it's a track focused car. literally the quickest thing this side of $450k (road car). A spectacular achievement from nissan. i've done 17 track days since i bought the thing; the few people i know who own one bought them for the same reason (and actually track their cars regularly).

ffs what wrong with some people. why all the farking hate bs?

Because they drive the equivalent of Morris Minors (but not as collectible) hence they hate you. Easy isnt it :unsure:

As MD says... He that is not jealous is not in love. :)

I just hate everyone that is doing track days, not too many in Hyderabad :laugh: About the only motorsport i have is payign rickshaw drivers money to hammer through corners on two wheels :)

Quite the contrary. They'd be saying what a P.O.S it is for the money. This car can't win when everyones totally adversarial. Its crap because its too good and drives itself or conversely its crap because its just crap.....

I might of missed it but whats the retail on one of these?

Might need to add one to the project.

Hi Luke,

There is a product matrix table showing the differences in specs between each model of Aeromotions wing and US prices here ...

Aeromotions Dynamic Wings are a proven quantity and there is a lot of hard data to show how well they work.

These cars all run Aeromotions wings ...

- the Cannonball R35 GT-R (winner of One Lap Of America)

- the Crawford Subaru WRX STi

- the AMS/NOS Energy Drink EVO X

- Mark Berry's Advan / Hi Octane Racing R34 GT-R

See this post which includes a lot of info about lap times etc ... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=5169103

As we wrote in that post ...

Aero plays a much greater role in laptimes than many people realise, which is part of the reason why so many of the World Time Attack Challenge cars are doing aero development in the lead up to Superlap in May.

The key is the laptime, which speaks for itself and clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of the Aeromotions Dynamic Wings.

The stopwatch doesn't lie.

Make sure the rickshaw driver has been smoking the local leaf, it could be considered the human equivalent of ESP, and would classify you as a nancy boy should you hop in his hot-rod :laugh:

Most people aren't really hating on the car, I don't think ownership and popularity is as paradoxical as you might think. I'm thinking alot of the supposed haters just don't like it that on one hand someone will say this car is one of the greatest achievements of an auto-maker to date and on the other hand take more credit/glory than they feel the driver is deserving of.

The jealousy factor is a load of crap IMO. That's what parents tell bullied school children. How many people hated on the previous king before the R35 showed up and took its crown? By that rationale any snubbing of the ZR1's achievements must be out of jealousy, when I know there are a few of you who simply would never go near anything American on principle alone, even if these cars shared the exact same retail price. People are allowed to dislike a car without envying it. Mistaking someone's criticism for jealousy is one of the worst / most ignorant egocentricities one can display...

If i knew how to post 1.2mb vids i have footage :bunny: Truth is know way i would get in one when they are doing 2 wheel u-ys accrss city intersections almost getting t-boned :P You wont get me touching betel leaf either :)

Was the original poster able to find logs from with and without the wing? Its a dramatic improvement over a simgle lap, did Nissan miss something with the wing on the std car, they put all that money into the chassis, gearbox and electronis ...seems strange that the wing woudl be so rubbsh

I don't think Nissan missed anything. They just went for the best balance. I'm sure carrying an aeromotions wing set for a fast lap around a tight circuit the GT-R wont get anywhere near 300 KPH on an autobahn. Economy would probably also suffer with that dragging behind you... Plus its a bit over the top styling wise :ermm:

I understand all that, but this is the nissan flagship model, with how many millions of dollars spent on development. I understand any production car is always going to be a compromise, but is the R35 shape the way it is because of aero performance. Seems strange to me that if they simply put a wing on it then they would have been able to lap Nurburgring 5-10seconds quicker... but yeh.

I think they'd be pushing shit up hill to get any wing on stilts passed any pedestrian safety regs mate. The thing has a pop up bonnet (which Giant and I found in our first rally with the shit box :ermm:) to bounce them over the roof and cushion them from engine strike, not much good if you survive the front only to be chopped in half down the back :bunny:

Hey, am I onto something or what :P

Wow, you guys are very easy to stir,

While I rate the R35 as a fast car, I still dont feel they are a track focused car as such, I feel they are a quick Gran Tourer.

But then again I havent driven one so I really shouldnt comment lol

But to stay on topic, When the wing lifts under brakes, does it unsettle the car?

    • Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU
    • You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?
    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
