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.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
