That's me. Trucks are involved in about 20 per cent of fatalities. I see ex-bomber Merv Neagle was killed in one this morning in NSW.

She was only 22. The truck driver should have been able to see over the traffic that it had either stopped or was travelling slow. Maybe not concentrating. http://www.facebook.com/#!/Signature.Imaging

I thought you weren't going to modify? This set up does look interesting....

Just needs to be a bit shinier... No, seriously you have done an awesome job with this car. I saw it in the flesh at that meeting and it looks mint! BTW you are lucky not to have been showered with gravel from that idiot in the drag car.

Search on FB for Siignature Imaging (correct spelling) there is an album of top quality photos on the timeline, called 'Hardtuned Victoria Meet and Greet 15/7/2012'. If you can't find the album there, send a friend request and that should enable you to view it after you've been confirmed.

Thanks for the advice, will give the Dunlops a go.

That's not good. I haven't had a puncture yet...touch wood. Was going to ask you how the Dunlops are as I have to replace the Bridgestone R2's that were on the car from new. I heard that the Dunlops are noisier in general driving but provide a little more grip in the dry. Perhaps a little too much grip in your case?

Do you have any results from your Vbox, just how quick is an R35 with 422awkw?

For what it's worth, I strapped a gps based 'Performance Box' to a stock ADM 2010 model and managed 0-60kph in 1.9s, 0-100kph in 3.7s and 80-120kph in 2.1s. (This was with the use of launch control and settings on RRR.) I did the same without LC and clocked 0-60kph in 2.3s and 0-100kph in 4.0s. (driver only with 1/2 tank of fuel, temp around 17c) Has anybody else measured these times?

You are right about them charging for the services, my dealer quoted $203 before and $203 after the track day. Apart from changing the wheel alignment, they also reduce fluid levels prior to and top them back up afterwards. Brakes, tyres etc are also checked in both services.

I was told by the Nissan dealership that if you want to track the car, you need them to check the fluids and have the wheel alignment adjusted, before and after. I don't believe there is a charge for that unless you need fresh fluids afterwards. Nissan doesn't discourage taking the car onto a track, I guess they figure you'll need additional servicing and parts sooner or later. I don't daily drive mine and couldn't think of anything more boring than sitting and creeping along in peak hour traffic in it. However, there are plenty of roads around that give you an opportunity to enjoy the car in bursts, without having to track it. Each to their own I guess....

Black is not my favourite colour but that looks mint. Nice wheels and CF touches.

I fitted the Zele kit tonight and the inner tail lights are now illuminated with the same brightness as the outer ones. When you push the brake pedal, only the inner lights are brighter, as normal and the rear wing leds come on, as normal. The rear wing leds are not illuminated until the brake pedal is applied. It works perfectly and looks much better. There is a switch on the unit to change it back to original spec if needed.

IMO the engine/tranny is the best feature of the GTR, loads of fun in manual mode! Have you driven an R35?

If you ring the dealer, they should be able to tell you the cost of each basic service. I haven't got to 24 mths yet.

Cool vid snowy, I saw your car in the dry on Saturday and it looked to be hooking up ok. What other mods are you planning? Yeah a bit lonely with only 2 R35's. I thought SlipR35 was coming across for the trackday.

Looks great. Are you bringing your car to Nats? Like to see all the mods in the flesh.

Mizuno-san did mention a number of times at the Nissan launch at Phillip Island in March that we would get a 'track only edition' here next year. Not sure whether Nissan Australia would be keen to bring it out, given the potentially low sales numbers.
