trade for a running auto S14 with cash my way? I'll even drive it down the street and roll your car away for you (you'll have to help push it up the street tho). I have to come check your shell out one of these days... let me know when you're free.

well in engineering you're either mathematically or scientifically right or wrong. with politics its open to interpretation.

that's some awesome airbrushing. hehe J-Spec.SE

Link to quite possibly the gayest website known to mankind as far as linkable pages goes ffs autotrader shits me up the wall. browse the Used Car categories, go to Nissan, then select the Skyline GT-R sub category, then scroll down till you see an R35. If I ever meet anyone who claims to work for Auto Traders IT department I will give them a swift kick to the nuts before I carry on conversation.

lol Nissan could name the crab car a GT-R and you legally couldn't do anything about it... seeing as they own the name and all rights to it n all.

if you don't mind the turbo sitting on your dash the turbo and manifold are one piece... so I'd expect to see some aftermarket headers being made up soon enough.

that's the GT-R Proto dude... back then no one knew what it was gonna be called or its designation. there's no confusion anymore its the Nissan R35 GT-R.

masa in japan makes a vent that can be grafted onto a regular bonnet to give you that sorta look...

haha mitsubishi girl is the stuff dreams are made of and jail sentences are given for. Winkeh... check out some of the stats: http://whatjapanthinks.com/2005/11/24/why-...re-often-wonky/

jig saw paint job? so you intentionally went out of your way to get the panels mismatched? hehe sorry in oz that's a sign of a bad paint job... maybe we just haven't caught onto the latest craze in the american import mod scene. overall the car looks hot... kudos for making sure the chances of someone else's kit looking the same is minimal, but by mixing the different aero kits the lines don't flow as nicely near the bottom of your car... the front has a very GT styled skirting, the sides have a body curve mimicking shape, and the rear has some aggressive skirting. I'd have gone with the front and rears of the side skirts, just for visual flow. this is nice: but this give me boners all day n night:

is the cruise control buttons on the same side of the steering wheel in oz?

your contributions are appreciated on the forum Adam... how its received is up to the individual.

the pirelli p-zero's we use on the track car has white lettering factory. its actually done when the rubber is cast (white layer first, then black layer over that, with the lettering exposed)... so even if you were to scrape the letters or put a nick in it, it'd still be white. you can buy rubber paint (paint formulated specifically to stretch and adhere to rubber compounds) in white, red etc... you'd have to use that to fill in the letters, but I agree with GTS4WD, it'd have to be something that makes you go "woah" like stretched 195's on a 9" wide wheel, or P-Zero's... or something with such a huge tread that you want people to know what it is... we're talking 315mm minimum. no one will think a 225/35/18 is impressive.

lol 5 minutes should have given you sufficient time to find a paper bag. what stand is this:

stay tuned for R35 GTR radiator guides thru a Bass Junky near you.

lol 200 R35 GTR's released every month... lets assume 100% of the buyers are ex-skyline owners (highly unrealistic, but hey). Now lets take the popular models of Skylines released in the last 10 years (lets assume anyone who owns an R32 really can't afford a new GTR, or they'd have bought an R34 by now)... that's around 4 R33's, 4 R34's, 3 V35's, 3 V36's. So that means 2 out of 14 skyline owners will be GTR owners (seeing as only R33 and R34 had GTR models). so that means of the people upgrading to the NEW GTR, only 14.28% of them will be ex-GTR owners. now that means 28 more GTR's on the market per month because people are upgrading. Now of those 28 GTR's lets say they vary from Grade 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5 and A (accident damaged, ie ineligible). Lets also assume you'd only import a Grade 3.5 or higher car. So 4/10 of them will be eligible for import. That means we're now down to 11 more GTR's on the market that are of decent quality per month. And that's assuming ALL the new buyers for GT-R's are ex skyline owners. Oh noes.. the market is flooded. they point I'm trying to make is that in the last month or so, the strong change in our favour of the exchange rate has dropped the price of your average R34 GTR by about $8000. This is a significant change that is much more noticeable than the change in market value that the introduction of a car that is twice the price of an R34 GTR or 4 times the price of an R33 GTR can effect.

they are sold because they were bought when they came up, but I'm just giving you those as an example of the prices that they do come up for. you'll also notice the ones closer to 60K are V Specs, and the ones closer to 50K are regular GTR's.

ffs I just finished cleaning up this thread... can you guys please stop airing your dirty laundry in public?

a toyota minibus looks better than an R33... that's not a claim to fame.

well its not impossible... if you think about it, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage runs a very similar rear mounted gearbox and paddle shift setup to the GT-R (except minus the driveshaft to the front making it a AWD)... and they do a rear mounted Manual 6 speed gearbox, still maintaining it 49-51 weight distribution. http://www.seriouswheels.com/2007/2007-Ast...ox-1280x960.htm

the chassis number according to nissan is CBA-R35.

i forgot to ask you... the BMW M3 sedan was world premiering at TMS alongside the new GT-R... did you check it out?

source?

probably not. GT500 cars are a LOT lower to the ground than that... look at the R34 GTR JGTC car... the front wheels are practically bulging out of the top of the bonnet.
