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.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
