Gtr has Supercar performance but I wouldnt call it a supercar like a 458 / aventador / LFA to me supercar is exclusive and a gtr isnt exclusive at all.

Ric gallardo under 200k is even rare! One day.. One day

But where do you draw the line / price bracket to define it this way? That sounds more like the definition of an exotic than a supercar.

Agree with Jamie & Hamish. I think the stigma of Nissan being a family car producer gets in the way of people thinking the R35 is a supercar. If it was the only car that Nissan produced, people would certainly think of them as a supercar manufacturer. Being that there's only one R35, it's 180k and it's bloody fast, I consider it a supercar.

Though going by the supercars.net definition, every car is a supercar lol.

'the local lambo dealer' is only local if you live in south yarra, which I don't, therefore its not local.

also most people that own 35's are wankers anyway. nyaanyaa.gif haha.

There are maybe 4-5 on carsales, including one out my way in charcoal and manual, delicious. Need my rap career to take off lol

Drats I don't have a local Nissan dealership, because I don't have a Nissan Dealership in my suburb...

Definition of supercar would have to take into account scarcity I'm mean M/amg's aren't supercars I think being mass produced is the barrier for me I mean I see gtrs at least once a week comapre to an r8 lambo ferrari would be what couple times a year?

The interior of a gtr is way below the standard of a supercar unless its changed since the 2011 model I went in an amg c63 interior munched it... Supercar unfortunately is more then just the performance it's the whole image / package for me

Hence why I said "it has Supercar performance"

Cause it's supercars.net Haha!

:laugh:

Does that mean it's exclusive for you if you go to an area with a Nissan dealer?

R35 = supercar

:rofl:

But in saying that, the R35 GTR is still seen as a Sports Car, but has the performance of a Supercar.

You been in a 911 turbo? Terrible interiors! Or GT2/GT3 = no interior lol. I think it's more this perception that it has to be from Italy or Germany to be classified a supercar, because that's where the exotics and supercar manufacturers come from. Rolls Royce Ghost @ 600k-800k are super exclusive, but I wouldn't call these supercars.

I believe it is still seen as a Sports Car, yet Nissan has shown the capabilities of their design / engineering in this car to uphold Supercar performance.

In average, it's about a 3rd of the price of a 911 GT2 / GT3 and probably around the 4th of a price of a Lamborghini.

exactly.

south yarra might be the closest lambo dealer around but it sure as hell aint local to me in rowville laugh.gif

What I was getting at is that because there is no Nissan dealership in my suburb, going by your argument then its a Supercar :P

but I didn't say there was, you called south yarra the local lambo dealer.

the CLOSEST nissan dealer to me would be ferntree gully.

Yeah, South Yarra is closer to me :P

so according to this conversation lambo dealerships are more common than nissan dealerships?

Nah, LOL!

Ryan's just trying to say how much more exclusive a Lamborghini dealer is...

Yet the R35 GTR is only available at 2 "local" Nissan dealers :laugh:

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
