What a night.

Got royally tanked and fed for only 17 bucks culminating in a food fight and one of my mates pulling his balls out for a camera and on the way home saw a white R35 cruising through the Hachiko crossing intersection only to stop just after.

Better go check this out i thought.

They are awesome to see on the street.

Nice bloke who was driving it, Koichi, specializes in plastic surgery and was kind enough to hop out and chat for a while as he was waiting for another friend - a girl and he already had 2 others in his car. Pimp. girls were pretty hot too.

Business cards exchanged and we'll be hooking up next week to go for a drive. I cant wait. Hopefully i can bag a drive. That will be something.

Funny thing he told me...Hed never owned a Nissan before this. His friend who works at Nissan coerced him into the purchase.

He's only had it for a month and it only has 300 Kays on the clock. Lol, its not even broken in yet.

Even funnier, the car drew crowds and funnily enough a group of aussies on holiday encircled the car taking shots and asking questions.

yep, I'm knackered but its always awesome to have experiences like that.

Only in Japan i say!

Thanks for the pics.

LOL, the girls are better than the GT-R!!! look at the number of people download the last picture :banana:

cbf the car who are the babes !!

lol, the one in the back seat, Ayako, was asking me all sorts of questions...im not the ugliest bloke in the world but she was being hell forward. The girl in the front was Emiko and thats the 47y.o Plastic surgeon's 25 y.o GF!

lol, then another 20 something girl rocked up that i didnt have a chance to meet.

Akeenan, he said he lived in Daikanyama and we both know how ritzy that area is.

Sewid, your comment on the demographics was interesting. Docs have always traditionally been Porka, BMW or Merc territory so for him to choose the Nissan must indicate something significant for Nissan. Then again, maybe not, lol.

Koichi told me its his daily driver although how he can only have gotten 300 Kays out of a month is beyond me...must live close to work.

Interesting if guys like him are buying them. This is Porsche's target demographic and here he is driving a GTR. Well done Nissan I guess.

Think most GTRs are owned by older men. I know of one 60+ year old who owned a bayside Vpec2 then traded it in for the same model in Nur Spec and is now waiting for his 35. Another is probably due to its pricing especially the 35. Interestingly, for this model, if someone wanted a loan, they require a min of 40% down payment. Dont think this was the case with other line ups. Another example of its popularity, a friend of mine whose husband works at Nissan could get me 20% off the price of a V35 Skyline or any Nissan but not the GTR. :glare:

What a complete and utter waste for starting a new thread :glare:

If ever Tom, Dick or Adam started a thread for a spotto or cause they had a brain fart the whole board will turn into one giant Wasteland.

No one cares what you did for $17 or that you saw a R35 let alone posting up the blokes life story FFS!!!

Sure this section is about R35 "Discussion" but maybe next time save it for the kiddies in the classroom at story time if you dont have anything "constructive" to post but pure dribble!!!

That being said it may be time for a consolidated spotted sticky since we're seeing a few of these threads. I'll work on that shortly.

Dont really see it being a necessity or high priority seeing as the car isn't available in Australia yet, there are threads regarding the ones here along with a multitude of others obtaining info, pics, models/specs and test drives.

Once they become available in Oz then i think the state spotto or wasteland thread would still be sufficient without anything in here :ermm:

Geez chill mate give the guy a break

Keep your tantrums to the kiddies section as well

Why should i give him a break, he posts nothing but dribble and continually pushes the limits of the rules of the forum and the people that help maintain.

He's the first person to sook if things dont go his way and every time he opens his mouth its like he is trying to cause trouble.

I'll give him a break the day he picks up his game and acts his age, until then this thread is typical m3gtr dribble and im awaiting his mature reply having ago at me and ranting that i have verbally attacked/abused him :ermm:

Chill out mate.

This thread might have a slight wasteland feel to it, but i think your judgment is harsh. I believe most people would enjoy reading about what types of people are buying the new gtr, and seeing the chicks you can pull with one.

Thanks for sharing m3gtr. I spotted and sat in a brand new r35gtr on Saturday(In Sydney!!!), they are awesome in flesh!!!!

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
