I bit the bullet today and put down my deposit on an R35. I am hoping to pick it up by the end of the week. I bought it second hand as they are starting to hit a more realistic value. The first mod will be a matte black vinyl wrap (The car is black). Is anyone in contact with the guy in Victoria that has the matte black vynil wrap done already, he was at the Nissan track day at Philip Island?

the only decent wraps I saw were chameleon. but their from the uk. asked the guy for colours and that was the last i heard of him.

Any decent auto signwriter should be able to do a wrap for you - we had one done for a targa car and they did a pretty good job. Matte black would be really easy as they don't need to print anything up.

Wasn't cheap though at around $5k, but they were only given the car for about 36 hours before it was on the boat to tas - I think they said normally it shouldnt be more than $2k.

The mob from Melbourne is call Exotic Kustoms. Check out there website http://www.exotickustoms.com.au/ and you can see an R35 in the matt black wrap. (its the same one that was at philip Island).

Thanks for the link. Yes, they are the guys that did the one at Phillip Island. I gave them a call and they can do it for approx $4000inc GST. So here comes another murdered GTR :ninja:

Holly crap, what a car. I am amazed at the absolute mind warping acceleration of this car. You could drive it around town all day thinking you were in some luxo European car then flick that left switch to Race and flip the trans to manual and unleash the beast. Flicking those paddles with instant gear changes is a staggering experience. This car is worth every penny and in my opinion everything that it is cracked up to be.

I dont find the suspension hard at all it way less stiff in normal mode that my old 350Z and all these gearbox noises and clunking that you hear people talking about, well I must have a quiet one as I couldnt hear all that much. Just a few noises here and there but hell I can live with that in a heart beat.

I love it.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
