Hey All,

Just bought a beautiful white 09 R35 GTR, all I can say is its amazing.

I have driven a lot of exotic cars, along with highly modified R26 GTR's and all I can say is the R35 GTR as an out of the box package is in its own league.

There is no Review or Video that can some up how this car feels to drive, it does everything so well and I haven't even had the chance to take it to the track yet :)

If your considering an M3 or equivalent don't make the mistake go for the R35 GT-R as quite frankly there's no car this side of $350,000 that I would rather drive.

Look forward to meeting many of you in the community and getting to a few events!

Cheers

Welcome to the community. God I sound like a born again Christian! Mind you once you've been brainwashed by the intoxicating ride you may as well be stuck in a cult.... Love the username :thumbsup:

lol. you are right but it's funny reading it now. I've known that feeling since 2008 when I got mine!! seems like a lifetime ago now but I do still remember the first time I rode in one, the first time I raced one (was in japan in 2007, release day, in a mates 800hp R34 GTR and we were level pegged by a near stock R35!), the first time I saw one on a race track in person (was Tsukuba 2007, same day as we raced one on the freeway), and of course the first time I drove one. by then I already knew they only had about 290kw at the wheels and the very first thought I had blasting up a winding hill was that to keep up with this car in a R32/33/34 GTR I'd need at least 400kw in a stripped out lightweight GTR and a dogobox at least or even a hollinger. and even then the R35 would pull a length or two at least on every corner exit. and you know what? buy a 32/33/34 GTR, build it to a reliable 400kw add a hollinger, some decent brakes and suspension to make it handle and you've spent almost as much as just buying an R35 GTR...

they are a very impressive car. not because of how much power they have but because of how little power they have and how fast they are still.

Thank You all, and I'll see you, Kym and Fireboy at the next gold coast Gtr meet :)

G'day Ray

Glad to see you got the VERY NICE white one!

Looking forward to catching up with you at the QR day on the 26th and our monthly GC cruise night (first Saturday night of each month)

You, me and Fireboy will now make 3 x R35's attending each monthly GC night.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
