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.

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
