Hey guys, well I have just got back from Top Secret and they are keeping their R35 project pretty hidden away and appear to be working furiously to get it to where they want it ready for Tokyo Autosalon in a few days time.

The only visible changes at this stage are some mild exterior touches, the usual Top Secret sticker collection and their trademark Rays GT-C's wheels with gold centres.

The photo isn't the best, its been very overcast today, and the workshop is closed off.

I feel sorry for the STI and EVOs, no one's even giving them a glance.

That's what Mitsubishi and Subaru get for releasing new vehicles within the same year as Nissan releases its GT-R. They should have either released them at the beginning of the year, or some time next year. :thumbsup:

Its like movies that had the same release date as the Star Wars: The Phantom Menace or Transformers. They weren't going to get a look-in on that weekend, no matter how good they might be in isolation.

The only companies that would have a hope of competing with the GT-R for attention would be if Honda released an all-new NSX. Even the Lexus LF-A, with its apparent GT-R beating Nurburgring time and F1-inspired V10 engine, doesn't have the history to match the hype surrounding the GT-R.

And the fronts look like they need less offset. There's not enough dish.

Part of the charm of the older GT-Rs is being able to run low offsets and get mad dish / concavity to make the car like super wide.

Agreed

isn't that an S2000 in the poster above it?

I don't know for sure, but if you look close enough at the poster, it shares the same style C pillar with the R35 GTR.

I can't make out whether it has the trade mark stove plates though.

Anyone else notice the GTR poster in the background (above GTR) with different body kit? Maybe a hint of what is to come?

Its the Topsecret V12 Supra

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
