R35 at 1800kilos for Targa in M1 class. Lets see thats like a GT3RS with an EXTRA 5 passengers on board or like a GT2 with an EXTRA 3 passengers. Or like an EVO IX with an extra 4 passengers.

R35 is a great car and a fantastic track day weapon BUT the greatest enemy of an endurance event is weight. Better pray for rain guys !!!!!! Also remember 2005 ,many many all wheel drive cars came off in the wet. Or 2006 when the all wheel drive cars all ran out of rubber with a dry rally and none of them weighed anyware near 1800ks.

I will put my money on a dry rally and a Richards 997 GT2 or a Glenny driven EVO.

If Steve Jones was in the WA black R35 as he will be in Targa West I would place him easily in the top 10 But not this year in TT we will have to wait till next year.

Lets look forward to a safe enjoyable TT.

Just read an article of an independant test of the new GT2 in the wet, absolutely awesome, and also a 7.32 at the ring. As the mag says, the Gt2 requires skill and aptitude to drive it hard BUt with the GTR R35 all you need is somebody in the drivers seat.

Its going to be Richo for 08 without a doubt.

Still , you can have 3 x R35s for the price of a GT2 !!!!

Yep I agree :cheers:

Only because the privateer "Tony Sullens" isn't going back this year to beat him again :)

Glenney will give them a run though I think...

I still think don't underestimate the GTR too soon, it seems to be defying the laws of physics in all the road tests carried out, maybe not this year its still too new yet.

Yeah i think it's going to surprise alot of people who have been kept relatively in the dark about the cars capabilities. I'm sure after this year alot of people will be looking at raceing in one themselves. I was talking to tony the other week saying i saw one on the net for just over 100k and said he shoudl buy it lol (only to be race registered) and he said it's a great price for such a fast car, and that alot of people will probably consider getting one.

Targa is going to be very interesting this year =) but i'm even more excited for next :P

Saw the pink Donut King Skylines at Oran Park today :P - R32 and R35!!! Hand timed the R35 at 1:20 (GP) but there was a bit of traffic and I gather they were trying out their Targa set-ups.

Looks pretty mega in the flesh.

I WANT ONE!!!w00t.gif

Do tell!!!

I think the biggest killer for Tony will be tyres, not able to run on the Dunlop DZ03's he has previously run on, cos they just don't make em in that size!

HAHAHA no theres nothing to tell, i've been talking GTR's up to him for years, he likes them, but he loves his Subaru's :D we were just talking about the new GTR and what you get for your buck. Thats why i think targa will be so much more interesting next year, becuase this year will put the GTR on the radar for alot of people who can afford a car practically ready to race.

But if anyone has a spare R35 they want to see win targa :ermm: let me know and i'll put you in contact with him lol. That way he'll beat richards for the 3rd time (in a row) and show richards he needs to get his but back in a gtr :/

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By Duncan · Posted

      Ultimately, if the tip is not far into the runner and the o-ring seals, then you are in business. Have you applied pressure to it as is? It is not really a problem for the injector to twist once it is bolted down, the oring seals it and you don't want it jambed into the oring too hard The plenum is intended to take multiple size lower injectors with different adapters, but the way you have it is fine if they seal.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)
