hopefully never... i dunno the 350z is owned by every tom dik n harry who's goin thru a midlife crisis.

I wouldn't wanna see the R35 go thru the same, they tend to stay away from imports coz its risky and in their middle age they only do non risky trendy stuff.

If it remained an import only die hard fans would get it, and they'd know how to use it. Hence maintaining the rep.

I swear all them balding men in non turbo s14 200sx's shit me, ever since one of em asked me what was a cool car to get "coz he wanted to keep up with the times". I told him to get a family stationwagon and a wife while he was at it and check out an option called reality that came with the car. He called me a rude immature young man and stomed off. Scru him.

Anyways...

um maybe in 2005/2006??

Road-going models, many of which have been privately imported over the years, won similar favour for their explosive performance and excellent handling.

i think what the guy was saying before R31Nismoid was that there has been no race presence of the GTR over the last decade, which is true. Last race was 92, the wet bathurst year??

but he has said they are still being used on the road, just think he was trying to get at the racing aspect of it.

cheers.

well maybe not bathurst or anything like that.

but the are in less publicised events like targa.

there's like 2 or 3 N1 GTR's running round.

As if they'd let the race V8's... could you imagine the slaughter ? heheh!

My commie will eat your skylines 'round the mount any day fo the week..

Except I don't have a commie. :-D

Skylines still go around the track at Bathurst (just in a non-racing capacity)... I don't know of any GT-R's, but I certainly know of one GTS-T that goes to Bathurst every now and then.. Bathurst is my home town and I own a skyline and the rest is fairly obvious :-)

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives.

      You don't have to be bored driving a Camry. Not based on the way that a couple of f**king Ubereats/Didi/othersortofmethaddlednightshiftattheservicestationrecentimmmigrants were piloting them on the way to work this morning. f**k me dead!

      FWIW, the Bride reps are really nice to sit in. The only complaint I have, other than the tear in my bolster, is that the velcro used to hold the backrest cushion in place, up under the headrest, is a little obvious and intrusive and could probably be done better. I don't know if that is a "feature" on the genuine ones also though. I haven't looked at a genuine one like the ones I have, only some of the older models. The other thing is, even though I bought the CF ones, I think the CF is really just decorative, over the top of the same FG as the normal seats. And so they really aren't light. Between the solidly built CF/FG seat, the steel frame in the recliner mechanism, and the solid-arse seat rail, they are probably heavier than even the stock seat. They are a serious lift to get in and out of the car.

      Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.

      I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.
