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.

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
