Always had a soft spot for these:

Some of them looked good in their paint schemes, shame most of them today are about 1" off the ground with 24"chromes and big doof doof stereos

They are usually the fake ones.

I know of an original that makes 600hp NA on avgas. :yes: with stock wheels!

Although it galls me to do this (R31's can beat anything....)

DR30 power!

cool vid. it's interesting that the old Grp A DR30 race car does Tsukuba in 1.03 on slicks and the current gen bog stock GTR on road tyres does 1 min flat! man times have changed.

The current V35 does it in 60sec? Is that right? Mark and Russ were only scant seconds faster on semis and mega power with lightened car etc... Sounds too fast to me isnt it?

yep, the R35 GTR road car does tsukuba in between 1.00 and 1.02 depending on who's driving. mines have now done a 59 using their own suspension and exhaust and lightly tuned ECU (but still on road tyres!).

now you know why Mark and Russ wanted one when they saw the R35 at Tsukuba back in december. from memory it was doing 1.01 or 1.02s on the day straight out of the box!

So this year at Tsukuba the garages might as well show up with showroom stock V35s huh, kinda takes the joy out of it all really lol

bah. that thing was just cruising around. lets see a std road tyred R35 beat this!

2:17.16

what were the race prepped (free engine management, exhausts, suspension, brake upgrades, semi slicks, cages etc) Evo's running at the 12hr in qualifying? 2:30? on a much smoother, wider and faster Bathurst track than the old DR30 ran on. I doubt a standard R35 on road tyres is going to be any match for those times, let alone the old DR on slicks!

yeah it's crazy how fast they go with fancy computers and the like. will be even quicker once they get a hold of some good size semi slicks.

Yeah, its getting like F1 on the road. Except F1 are removing drivers aids now, as opposed to Nissan and Mitsubishi who give drivers aids... (pun intended)

See that Toyota might be bringing back the Supra? or some sort of Supra-style coupe with lots of pistons and typically, 2WD? Im constantly amazed that a company like Toyota with all their resources has never tried to actually compete with Nissan, Mitsubishi and to a lesser extent Honda when it came to the top-line sportscars (GTR, NSX) or 4WD high performance sedans (Evo).

The GTR has been around since Adam was a boy and they've never tried to counter it with their own version, and it's not like the GTR turned into a Mitsubishi 3000GT which sank like a stone. The GTR is world recognised and forever famous the world over. You can't buy that name-branding publicity yet Toyota's left those laurels on Nissans mantle-piece...

    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
