Yeah the GTR is pretty crazy. Auto suspension adjusting. It also has RWD function (AWD only initiates when traction is lost this is in the 2012^ models I believe - I tried researching into this - not much is said. I notice in pre 2012 models that salesmen and reviewers were calling it an AWD but from 2012+ they started explaining the function of it's RWD/AWD a lot more indepth and openly). The balance of the car is perfect to say the least. Everything on that car was designed for a purpose.

The graphic work is to hide the aero designs before the release - I'm sure it serves multiple purposes such as 3D design work but it's mainly to hide the "look" of the car until it's released. Which is why there was a huge following when the R35 N1 was leaked a day before the Tokyo motor show - it didn't have the paint work so all lines were able to be seen.

Unreliable gadgetry. post-89755-0-07734200-1384915227_thumb.jpg A top fueller goes 0-400 in 4 seconds, on a sht run, no traction control.

After watching that episode of Top Gear with the 959 and the F40..... that explains it perfectly; im an F40 guy, just the bare essentials, the driver is traction control and abs. Pure driving.

I wish that there were more cars that followed the F40 philosophy.

Agree entirely.

A top fueler needs a rebuild every meet, weighs half as much, has tyre 4x the size and isnt offered with a warranty

Does anyone happen to know how hard it is to get a windscreen for an R34?
Mine has a crack and i think i might get it fixed before it goes in... can i reuse the original trim or can you get those as well?

shouldnt be too hard.

I believe most of the companies can get an aftermarket one.

and they should replace the seal also.

Yeah sweet, i assumed glass would be easy enough to find. I was more worried about the trim and a possible 10 week wait or something.
Might give them a call today.
Thanks fellahs.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
