pretty cool. it is probably the first of very close to the first car outside of nissan/nismo to get the full strip and cage treatment. it should be awesome fun to punt around and I bet the guys can't wait to get down to tassie. :(

Good luck with the beast, keep it rubber side down on the blacktop and be cool.

Looking forward to seeing some good footage of it and I might even make the trek to get my own photo's.

Need to start planning now.

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 :/

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      By eli995 · Posted

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?

      From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.

      OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
