Man that article is from January :P It's a shame but only 3 GT-Rs have been pranged so far as far as anyone knows. 2 majorly in SE Asia and one small minor one in Japan.

You know it wont be the last time Sewid.

If the Donut boys get it wrong in Tassie...welll.. lets just keep our fingers crossed that doesnt happen.

So far five have been trashed at Fuji Speedway and three at Tsukuba. Apparently their black box blacks out when things get over a certain limit and sends itself, and the car, into the closest wall.

I seriously doubt that, it may be what the drivers excuse is though

Stephen youre going to have to qualify that comment cause it sounds like bullshit to me.

Hmm normally something like that many cars would come up on my radar but I haven't seen anything yet. I'm not doubting you im just wondering how to get more info.

How can you tell that. Must be a few silver ones going around.

This photo was taken at the Shinagawa NHPC though. I've had that confirmed by someone who went there Friday.

2 which have been reported. One smashed in HK, now one smashed in Malaysia, but yeah, probably more have bitten it as well...

i'm sorry, i'm asian (well half) and when i got to the mostly asian suburbs for food, whatever... IMO the driving is proportional worse than other areas... which i think is more due to what they're use to experiencing, rather than a deficiency of skill. It's not horribly unsafe driving, just 'bad' driving. Not saying all are bad, perhaps that there is an over-representation of bad driving in predominantly asian suburbs

have you driven in Malaysia? that's some scary shit right there my friend... but that's just the normal for that part of the world...

yup i agree, if you have driven in indonesia, Philipina, vietnam or whatever you'll know that it's not 'asian' that can't drive but it's the way they drive, there barely any rule axcept red light...

and they think white boys can't drive either 'coz you guys follow rules..

If the car is being "thrashed" the ECU drops into limp mode.

This has been an issue on one of the US R35's

I would imagine if your right up it and half way round a corner it cuts the power that might be enough to loose it.

Ill guarentee it will be one of the first electronic mods that will become available for the R35 " deactivating Limp mode"

I've thrashed a R35 and it didn't suddenly go into limp mode. 4,000 people have thrashed their R35's and they didn't go into limp mode.

There is a limp mode but it's got nothing to do with thrashing the shit out of the car.

Here is how the original car looked before the crash...(note logo on passenger side top windscreen)

Mate of mine in Singapore imported this in and I was due to go chk it out last month when I was there....pity I couldn't make it otherwise this pic would have me standing next to it as a before photo!

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.

      Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
