They could make this go even faster but that would tarnish other 'respected' brands too much.

yep they could, but that'd have more to do with being able to hype and sell another facelift a further 2 years down the track with 550hp

incremental changes and minor power-ups is what keeps the continual sales alive for performance cars

Well, the R36 is coming out in 2013. So not a lot of time for updates of the R35. Or at least I hope since I just upgraded from a series I to a series III. I'll really look like I got raped if they come out with a series IV next year.

But in all seriousness, I think I'm pretty safe. The series III is doing 0-100 in 3.0 seconds, 0.5 slower than a Veyron. Unless the R36 will be faster than a Veyron (please do that, i'd gladly suffer a series IV if that's the case), what performance upgrade are you going to do so that it's faster than a series III but slower than a R36?

you wont get 0-100 in 3.0 in Australia mate

maybe mid 3s if you're lucky in absolute ideal conditions

i was contemplating trading my 2010 for a 2011, but would rather update when they change the actual design so it looks at least different from behind the wheel

dont get too caught up in the hp figures, as most know, 1k later and a cobb will net you more power than the 2011 anyway, let alone the ubiquitous y-pipe and/or mufflers we all add straight away

Yeah right...

I just realised the R35 GTR was released in 2007, so the R35 would have had a decent run of about 5 - 6 years (give or take a few months) :)

2012 model R35 GTR sounds promising to match up to Veyron and or Zonda times.

not too fussed about the performance, as most know, 1k later and a cobb will net you more power than the 2011 anyway

Ideal conditions and would AUS Petrol be as good as Japans?

Speaking of which. Where in Australia is the best place for a cobb tune and possible other add on goodies? Willall? I'm thinking akrapovic with cobb tune.

ps I'm with you on the visual incentive to upgrade.

^^ Seems like a smart marketing idea...

Every few years, just up the HP, little updates here and there.

:laugh:

Careful mate, you're fringing on complimenting HSV execs there :)

yep apple's being doing that for years with the iphone etc.

In regards to the gtr...... one day..... one day i will own one

Willall mate.

I've run their tune for DOZENS OF TRACK DAYS and never had an issue. Martin is a track centric tuner.

Thanks. Its agreed then.

ps for a tune and catback you have some nice lap times :)

worked with the 350z, don't see how this would be any different

Yeah, that's what I meant and it works.

The "marketing tool" is what keeping the consumers open to opportunities of owning a faster R35 GTR then before and will go for it.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
