Well i just saw the Z tune was pulling 1.01.115 seconds around tsukuba which is pretty much the same as the R35 GT-R.. Althou the R35- GT-R was stock. So i can't wait to see the NISMO R35 with atleast 600PS by the end of this year surely! I still think the R34 Z tune looks nicer thou!

The Z-tune is old hat.

Get ready for some brutal Nismo insanity. They're under pressure to be da tuning boss for the R35, i'm expecting something hardcore (bigger power+lower weight) yet balanced (chassis wise).

Think 'road legal Super GT racer', imagine that freakin' bodykit and all the carbon...*cringes with excitement*

I'm pizzling my dizzle just thinking about it :D

Yeh i would take a Z tune over a standard new R35. Those Z tunes will be soooooo rare, and 30 years down the track will be commanding a rediculous price

will be so rare ? theres already only 20 of them lol

and they do the 1/4 in 10.04 secs and have a brake G Force of -1.6G's

and they are already or should i say... have always commanded ridiculous money.. but its worth it.

Its a super car killer in almost every aspect ;)

if my shitty rx7 race car can reel off a mid 10 with semi's and 400hp...then a 500hp 4wd race launchin @ 9000rpm can do the same. twice as much traction with more power and lot more torque.. no problems

and that 10.04 wasnt the nismo time... it was the time recorded by an aussie block who owns a Z tune

Nismo reeled off an offical 10.4sec 1/4.. forgot to add that haha :)

hmmm very very tough ... if oyu take the ztune you will be forever worried about , you wont want to rack up the k's on it and will be expensive to maintain. Or take the r35 have some luxury but not quite as fast.. think ill take the r35 , just.

I think it going to take a while for people to "get use to" and actually like the r35gtr, i mean i love its agressive stance and the looks it brings to the skyline family, it has taken a rounder shape but kept some original features like the tail lights etc. Power wise and handling wise, for a stock car it is more than amazing, the z-tune is a wikid car with it's total package and agressive styling however wait untill aftermarket tuning companies bring out parts for the r35gtr, it is going to be one hell of a car...you can bet on that.

    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
    • Skip the concrete, we just need to smooth a field. Mark knows how to drive a grader Duncan   I reckon 100x100 flat area for skid pan style, and then some sort tracks for rally... Duncan's already got a rally car on the premises to...
    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
