noone said an R32 GTR was better your delusional mate im saying for bang for buck you will get loads more power in the rb26 bore it out to a 3 litre and forge the f**k out of it and boost the f*k out of it, here comes over 500kw at the wheels for under 50k, and lets not forget how fun they are to drive the r35 is practically an auto.

Miles Tauber in his R35 GTR did it in 2:15:07. what was the mod list on his car, just curiosty

Offcourse the alpha 12 would smash the winfield gtr im sure there are many other modified Rbs that would smash the winfield also

DOnt get me wrong i love the R35 its a f*kn beast id take that over any other supercar and thats a promise...can you tell me what 5k would make 296kw to 420kw at wheels?

Just to correct you: doing some research On the bathurst track i seen that 2:12min was the record for a R32 GTR back in 91/92:

A stock R35 gtr did it in around 2:25

I dont want to debate but 10k on a rb26 will get you 400+ kw, may snap a diff or something but still over 400kw ;P

its

And by the time im finished with my 94#32GTR will have a complete internal, interior and external make over and will look and go like a f*kn mania thats all i can say. And even though its will cost some money still will beat many R35's and for the less total amount for car and mods. When i picked my R32 i made sure it was Immaculate which is why i spent 27k on it 70,000 real kms back in august 2006. All it had was an exhaust from the cat back and it made 203kw at the wheels. Pretty good bargain if you ask me . It soon will be a classic supercar and if i keep it in the condition its in and keep it for a while with every mod receipt it might be worth a nice ammount later on. But i dont look at it as money its my hobbie. One day ill take the GTR beyond 2013. And both will be my toys im a GTR fanatic

Catless downpipes, midpipe, cold air intakes, 950cc injectors, HKS fuel pumps, turbo inlet pipes, retune, E85. Theres 420kw at the wheels. And you can still get the groceries, pick the kids up from school and drive past the cops without a second glance. Actually I added up those mods and I only paid $4000.

I think Miles's mod list is as above without the turbo inlet pipes. So very basic mods. His car was in Wheels mag or some other mag like that and it was under 400kw at the wheels. Very dyno dependant so not a fair comparison in reality.

but your not talking about labour work? and btw does the r35 take e85 without mods? my car price list was roughly 5k its the labour and stuff that made thr price jump. cops have pulled me over opened the bonnet and closed it with out a word , im not talking about 4 seater and boot space aswell. all gtrs have thatt

fair comparison and 3 seconds slower then the 91/92 GTR... but could be the driver that maybe make that time quicker

R35 = quick Space ship

R32 = Fast classic

My goal is 450kw 4 seaters, Sound system , Interior makeover, Boot space, And 10 inch fat deep dished rims. Slim Sleek and i promise you the cops will open the bonnet and have noting to say.

450kw is enough for me and it wont be on E85. And it will be a sleeper

if you're going to buy an R34 to keep as a collectable, there's only one........Z Tune

2) V-Spec N1

3) V-Spec II N1

Lumleys SV and Shannon's will insure the above for Sums Insured at well over $105K (and unmodified obviously).

Time & Auction results will tell us if others appear on the radar!

IMO the engine/tranny is the best feature of the GTR, loads of fun in manual mode!

Have you driven an R35?

What i would do is buy an 09 model and get the internal tune specs and xterior front lights to match the 2012 model. Samething at the end

Only diff is the chassis is older and maybe has higher kms.. thats ok with me as i look after my cars like they are my mother.

No but i wouldnt doubt it would be fun, But ive seen an amuture female driver jump in an r35 and do high 11sec 1/4 me just shows how easy it it to drive

Not sure what "female" has to do with it and since when does straight line performance define how easy a car is to drive?

This female comment reminds me of when paul diemar was racing twoogle, his wife stacey set the fastest 60 foot time which he could never match...I think it was 1.3sec - it was out of this world

Well if we work out how much $600k in 1992 would be worth today (i would say probably $1.2 to $2m in todays dollars) whatever Miles has spent doesn't touch the sides in comparison. Tobacco sponsorship was good! :)

I say get the GT-R, forget the Camaro they sell them for nothing in the states and then they come here and RAPE people on taxes and conversion. Honestly with the way they tax imports it's RAPE, legal RAPE. Add insult to injury that the Camaro was in fact built by Aussies and we have to pay a fortune to even get in one. All of this to save the stupid domestics which no one wants, if german and other imports were cheap honestly Holden and Ford Australia would DIE. They just can't compete so they put these stupid taxes which most of the world doesn't have to save them at the expense of our pockets and options.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
