Project R35 Gtr Targa Preparation - Progress Pics

[Just Jap Racing]

Hi all,

As most of you are aware, we recently bought the first brand new R35 GTR Premium into Sydney under the race and rally scheme, with the car being destined for use in Targa Tasmania under Team Donut King.

With a limited time frame and a lot to do in order to prepare the car for racing, work started immediately with some circuit shake down testing at Oran Park in Sydney where the cars performance was impressive to say the least.

Shortly after the car was sent off to be painted at Adams Smash in the widely recognised Team Donut King pink, and with the painting now completed, we thought some photos were in order.

The R35 GTR shortly after arriving at the factory

The finished painted product.

Adams Smash truely are import specialists and have been responsible for the paint and body work on our GTR race car fleet for many years.

We hope to bring you more updates on the cars Targa preparation including more pics as we go along

Cheers,

Steve Thatcher

can't wait to see it down here, I hope I'll be about to have a decent look at it. What is the ECU like? Is it just 1 that does everything (attessa, engine, gearbox), or is it modulated like the 32-34's (differnt ecu for everything)

the way i see it, its pink on the outside yeah and if ya owned one i think ya would spend more time inside the car driving rather then spending more time looking at it so if ya inside all ya seeing is the sweet interior and the planting that foot pedal!!!

Looking forward to seeing this thing fully prepared and racing

Personally I don't care what colour it is as long as the R35's are racing in this country I'm stoked.

I will be at Targa this year just to check this thing out, the missus wanted a holiday down there anyway lol.

Ill have the video Chris lol

Donut King cars are usually driven by total nutters, so Targa should be much fun.

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Fark get over it.

It is going to be the most interesting TT ever. Can not wait to see it perform. Can you imagine this thing belting past R&O's porker, the look on their faces would be priceless.

OK. Off topic (ie colour discussion) posts deleted. Next person to mention their opinion on pink is warned, and the person after that is banned.

[sav man]

I doubt it will be going past r&o's 997 GT2. And Porsche drivers never let you past anyway

[Duncan]

depends if its wet right, Ben? that GT2 would be a real handful in bad weather.
