Haha I cant believe some of the pointless stuff that ends up in these threads, anyway Martin GTR is looking great and its good to see the success you are having with it so far. Cant wait for further updates. Cheers

Indeed. I know who'll be getting my GTR when I'm ready to build a beast :)

What's the fastest time this car has run around Mallala on proper R-specs? And was it done with the stock turbos?

For those who can't afford an R35 the F6 is by far the best bang for your buck avaliable in this country, an awesome Australian engineering masterpiece! Oh and yes and before you start throwing rocks at me, obviously on the track it would be a different story.

That depends whether you're talking new or secondhand. R-35's are certainly hard to match straight out of the box against other performance cars (stock vs stock) but once you apply some mods, they are no world beater by any stretch of the imagination around a race track.

To give you an example, there's a fully road registered $20K Evo 6 that still maintains it's factory assembled motor, stock turbo (just bolt on breathing mods), stock brakes etc. that just about has the measure of this GT-R around Mallala. Must be dishearterning to almost be spanked by a 13 year old Lancer :)

That doesn't make sense.

Mate, you are a tosser, "dishearterning to almost be spanked" no it isn't.

Even if it was faster, WTF cares, its a Lancer.

Oh and the R35 is just a Datsun I'm afraid! A very very good one though! Just accept cars for what they are and what they can do no matter how old they are or what they cost! Certainly some R35 owners out there who are just a little bit precious i think! Clarkson had a Lancer on Top Gear, bought it 2nd hand for £4k for one of their challenges, 0 to 100kph in 3.5 seconds and handled like a dream! Great car! Lol I don't know what's easier, reeling you blokes in or fishing for trout down at my local! :)

time to put this into perspective - nurburgring lap times on latest make / model :)

Evo X - 7:58

GTR - 7:21

enough said.

Are you positively annoyed friend?? I would be too if I found out I can achieve similar results reliably for 20% of the outlay and still drive it on the road. It's not about what car is better (I am quite fond of R-35's) but you can do it just as well for much cheaper. No need to be all high and mighty because I 'only' drive a Lancer, just like Porsche drivers shouldn't look down on you for driving a Datsun, but I can assure you that they do :)

You didn't read what I said - Stock vs stock, R-35's are virtually unbeatable.

probably even easier if you invested in one of these instead of wearing out your shift and 1 keys

It’s amusing when guys get on here and talk about how good cars other than the GTR’s are, when they don’t actually own those cars, nor drive them back to back against the R35.

Both my F6’s would clean up my R35 the other side of 100mph, having done 138mph in manual & 132 (flat 11.) in ZF auto down the quarter, so would my STi with the same power as my GTR and 450kg less weight. Given that the only time these speeds are done is at the strip it is an irrelevant comparison. F6’s are good cars, basically taxis (my daily driver), and can go very fast after appropriate mods. But my GTR is near stock, with exhaust and cleanup tune, but something like a W600 upgrade it would be very different. Good launch AND good top end, and low 10 second pass in street trim.

What the people running 11 second times in F6’s don’t tell you is that they have to run wide MT tyres because they can’t get traction.

I owned a VL Calais turbo from ’88 to ’96; great car in it’s day with T04 turbo, but ultimately no traction, braking or handling.

None are anything near the class or complete package of the R35. Nothing brings more of a smile to my face than driving off in the R35 after getting out of my other turbo cars. None can accelerate anything like the R35. ZF trans is a great trans, but no match for a dsg.

My son, who is an Evo devotee, and recently came 2nd outright in the Evo nationals, was pleasantly surprised just how good the R35 was around the track on stock brakes and tyres with 1:05 around Wakefield. GTR stock pads are not track friendly.

Very good package you have here Martin with the W600.

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
