R34 Vs R35 - Not School Holidays Yet, This Is Not What You Think.


Recommended Posts

I like white Rs.

I think if I had looked around instead of buying the first R I saw I would have got white or Midnight Blue, not black , it is a shit to keep clean :/

Dark is not too bad, had a darkish blue 350GT, looked great and hardly noticed the dirt, BUT BLACK is a nightmare . Shit leave it in the garage for a few days and it looks shit. I made a cover setup so I did not have to wash it every time someone gave it a dirty look :yes: Photo

But clean they look great :yes:

To someone who used to get down on his hands and knees to blow the excess water out of the wheel nuts, it's horror.

I am not that bad now, but not saying I couldn't be that bad again with another GT-R =\

Call me crazy but i was in a financial position to purchase any R chasis car 32-35. I went with the 32 as it is my fav GT-R out of the bunch, iam now doing a 3L bottom end conversion with a Nitto 3.2 stroker. It all comes down to personal preference. The 35R is miles ahead of any BNR but i dont like it because it is auto and (IMO) ugly as fuark.. Get what ever makes you happy.

To be honest, the more I think about it, the more I lean towards the 34, purely for connection reasons. I realise it's substantially less powerful/refined/capable etc but that's not what the purchase is about.

That said, when it happens I will definitely test both and the missus has also stressed that she feels I should test some other things also - I have a feeling she would much rather me with a 4 door, possibly something Euro and I'll test those 2 but ultimately I just want another GT-R.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
