Yep that RX7 looks like a street car.... LOL

And for those saying the GTR is too heavy, you obviously know nothing about Kazutoshi Mizuno's design philosophy and intent - and I'm pretty sure knows his sh1t.

Let's face it, the R35 needs a weight shedding surgery. But I'll give credit where credit is due, it is a good car but it just seems dead inside the cabin.

A driver with an extensive skillset can pilot lighter RWD's such as S15's, RX7's etc to destroy the R35. And these lighter RWD's will be more fun and useable on the street.

And as can be seen in this video, the lighter FD looks a lot more fun to drive due to the inputs required and in-cabin noise etc.

Some of them are burnout/drag cars and have been for over 12 months.

So no mods at all, if not send me a message when they lose compression. The blow by is the biggest issue together with valve float at the limiter, and oil being dumped into the intake. If they haven't yet tell them to put a vented catch can in because the blow by is ridiculous.

I'm thinking that the most impressive feature of the GTR is that it can do what it does so easily. For other cars to compete they need to be stripped and highly modified and then yes they are raw and challenging compared to the sedate GTR. The same GTR that can go to the shops and drop the kids off at school with ease. If you want a raw and loud GTR you are then in another league again.....

First couple of thousand km's I only drove my 35 around the city, and yeah was pretty boring, but to be honest any car would be, and for sure it was too fast - couldn't really give it a bit since it's pickup is unreal.

Then I've done a few mountains drives.... around 1300km's all up, and I can tell you that I was not bored for a minute - it was definitely the best car I have ever driven, fast, engaging, but was still a bit too quiet with its 88dBa stock exhaust.

For sure I can see that 35 needs some room to get its legs stretched and to get into the groove - and for sure I reckon track days are a must - but they are a must for any performance driver with a fast car these days if you don't want your car impounded.

I agree with a lot of what has been said in thread. For most guys here the R35 would be the current epitome for production cars in the Nissan brand and it can clearly be seen why, it's a world beater. However, comparing it to older and less advanced cars is kind of pointless as is the case with many changes with technology. Throw in cars (in similar money brackets) such as M3 or C63 and you get similar stories even though they are RWD. Driving a M3 and sometimes it feels the car is doing all the work for you and again it is surprisingly quiet. I guess it just depend on what you are looking for in the car as an everyday car, track car or bit of both. Either way, awesome car!

for sure?

Having a really fast car is like having a 2 foot long penis. Great fun showing it off and bragging about it, but good luck finding somewhere to use it properly.

And here I thought having a really fast car was because of a small penis!

i have two fast cars. logic states im 1 inch on the chub.

you have a fast car and a fast bike. you must be inverted!

hahah!

On that note, how handy would inverted junk be? No more nutshots, no more "reallignment" in public. It wouldn't get crushed against the tank everytime I slam on the bike brakes!

Speaking of...I propose that my bike is more boring on the street than an R35. At least you guys can change gears when giving it stick; I'm doing 165 before I have to consider leaving 1st and the police don't like me at that point.

It's amazing how all issues eventually lead to this train of thought... Ha Ha ha. How about if someone's has big brakes? What does this tell us about his or her private parts.

savage lack of testes.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
