70RTY

As it is so original, and in mint condition, and they have ceased making 35s, I am thinking of keeping it original (not even going to do the English conversion). On the other hand, I am looking at Quadzilla mid pipes, Cobb units...

All good! The wait from purchase day to delivery day was about 3 months, but it felt like an eternity! It's interesting driving a 35 again after over a decade away. In some respects, it is still surprisingly impressive but in other ways, feels quite dated. e.g. the gearbox back in the day was a revelation, but by today's standards isn't as impressive. I'll try to make a driving impressions video.

Here are a few photos. The car is auction grade 4.5B and a genuine 1 owner car, as far as I can tell... It has a full service history with only 31,000km in it. I'd love to put a midpipe and tune on it but I am thinking that I'll retain its originality.

I can be grumpy! After owning one of the first GTRs in the country, I was bitten by the nostalgia bug and started the hunt for a GTR again. While I could have bought a car locally, I wanted to experience the search for a car in Japan and bidding at auction. The above videos document my experience to date and hope forum members find them interesting and informative. I was after a low mileage, completely stock car in the launch colour and am pretty stoked with what I got!

Hi all, I have been a member here for years and am back to owning an R35. It's my car and thought members of the community might enjoy sharing my journey. I am definitely here to join the conversation. If sharing this content isn't appropriate or it belongs somewhere else, I am happy to have it deleted or moved...

Here is the 'How to' video on importing a car from Japan:

Hi all, I have bought a JDM R35 at auction in Japan. This is my second JDM GTR after owning one back in 2009. I have made a couple of videos that may interest some forum members. One is collecting the GTR from the compliance shop (and seeing it for the first time) and another on the process of buying and importing a car from Japan. I'm new to this and would appreciate your thoughts, as well as a subscribe!

Thanks for all of the advice! I have booked a RHD Megane R26R from RSR for half a day. I will be sure to report back on my experience.

Thanks for the links and advice! I will report back on how it goes.

Hi all, I be at the Nurburgring on the 11th and 12th of July (Monday and Tuesday). Originally I had planned to book a BMW Ring Taxi but it doesn't run on weekdays. Can anybody suggest another way to experience this legendary track? I would be open to hiring a car (I have some track experience) but understand that I would have to be very careful as I have never driven the track before (apart from on GT5). Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Stuart

is he Japanese?

Can anyone recommend a good bar/sports bar to watch the F1 on Sunday afternoon/evening? Needs to have a decent screen and need to be able to hear the commentary.

What type of exhaust did you have installed mate? Does it drone much?

Yeah, I plan to head down for it, but just to watch.

Very impressive Mark! Please tell me we will see this at Superlap...

I don't think you could import a set of rears from tire rack at the moment for less than $1000 landed. Are shipping charges used in the calculation to determine if GST is to be applied? Or is GST applied only if the goods exceed $1000?

I don't think you can copy mp3 files to the hard drive, but I thought you could play mp3 files from a CD. Not sure though.

I just bought 2 Bridgestones (fronts) from Tire Rack and they were about $450 each including shipping etc. That was MUCH cheaper than I could find them anywhere in Australia.

I am really looking forward to getting back out on the track! Mark, can you give me some idea of the pressures I should be running with those wheels and tyres?

I am hoping to be there. If it is wet, I may give it a miss.

I am also interested in this. Are they manufactured by Nissan?

I ticked the 'mildly modded' box with a COBB tune and a mid-pipe. I get along to as many track days as I can and am looking forward to running on slicks this year. It is difficult to stop myself from progressing further up the scale! Caymen? Two or more entry level Porsches?
