The Greddy Gtr Is Here!

[m3gtr]

CRD having a poke around the new platform's chassis and power/drivetrain is already putting them ahead of the other Oz tuners. They'll have more direction in part development and tuning just by having it on hand IMO.

CRD appear to be pretty khuneckted

It appears that way. Im still sceptical.

Have they paid for the thing or are GReddy using it as a demo. That would make more sense. No doubt Nissan knows about the situation here in Oz with the grey import rules and messers Buckley and GReddy are part of Nissans performance chain - they have been for decades. Theyre not some local shop selling other peoples products. For CRD to get their hands on one and claim to be on the road to development gains before the official release is dubious for me no matter which way i look at it.

Yeah, feh sure, i can just see GReddy singeing that bridge with Nissan Japan right now, dontcha know?

They've had a relationship with Trust going back years now. I guess it's just strengthened lately and it makes sense to leverage this opportunity for marketing in the region. CRD own the car.

Greddy's relationship with Nissan Japan wouldn't even register this as a blip on their radar.

when will all this be in the ignition dvd?

the speed ignition work it prolly wont be seen til july august or maybe later

Don't think crd would "own" it, so would be interesting to see how much "development" the Japs will allow CRD to do...

Hope they do something special with it...

Incorrect.

CRD owns the car, the signage was part of the deal as they are partnering with Greddy

There are a handful of them in Sydney now that will be road registered shortly, so tough titties to Nissan.

CRD's car will not be the first road registered R35 in NSW.

For CRD to have the financial ability to buy the R35 for development purposes already places them WELL ahead of other tuners in Australia as has already been said, and I have no doubt we can expect big things from this particular car. Don't be surprised if you see CRD pushing the limits of the VR38 before other well known Japanese workshops do Mind you, considering the replacement cost of a VR38 is in the region of $40,000 AUD, you'd want to have some serious coin in the bank before you went trying to test the engines limits!

jesus what is all the negativity about?

Australia led the early development of 32 gtr performance through Gibson motorsport, I think its great that CRD have the means and the guts to buy an r35 and start developing parts for it. Good on them!

well there is a lot of geeks on here, and geeks are usually complaining about something.

An R35 in oz getting powered up by CRD, seems like a good thing to me. Will be interesting to see what they can get out of it.

[MikeyGTRmike]

Its good to see an aussie company having a chance to show everyone what we can do. I honestly cant think of another tuner in Oz that deserves the chance to show the world more than croydon.

Look forward to seeing what they can do.

[scotty014]

i agree, its great to see an aussie company already with the gtr and im sure they will show what Australia can really do with imports.

good luck guys.

Thanks for clearing that up Blitz

This is were it gets interesting, Gibson were not allowed to bring there touring car over and particapate with the Japs... someone was worried

Im not sure if I want to see the Japs getting beaten at there own game, wouldn't be suprised if it happens..

Cheers Tomek

[Beer Baron]

nice work! I think it's great for our scene. I don't really care who owns it, it's here and I'm sure CRD will do some great work with it. and personally I reckon the colour scheme/graphics look pretty cool. Well done CRD I say.

[Sl!m]

was good to finally see a GTR in the flesh today

I really love the color combo they have on this car, looks great.

Exactly.......I remember an interview with Jim and Mark [Richards/Skaife] where they said that the original Aussie R32's had to be modded just to get them competitive and reliable. I also seem to recall that Nissan japan took these idea's and ran with them for a lot of their own race teams.

Although things have moved on from those earlier heady days, I don't see any reason why CRD and other Oz garages can't contribute to the R35 development.

[West]

Sorry to say but really, those days with WOW Japan tuned a stock gtr to 300kw..........blah blah blah is really LONG GONE.

Game over let me tell ya, they used to be good because they had more cars to play with that's all.

Looks 1/2 way between a hyundai and a corvette...

sorry, that makes absolutely no sense at all.

Another shot for you guys to check out, one of them many ive taken for IgnitionDVD

tip: use jpg so we dont have to download a huge tiny image

sorry, that makes absolutely no sense at all.

Why does that make no sense at all are you of the opinon that no one outside japan is capable of moding a R35 GTR ?. It seems to me that if any workshop has access to the car at the same time as japanese workshops there would be no reason they would not be able to develop thier own parts in a similar time frame. As much as i love japanese aftermarket parts they are not always the be all and end all of aftermarket performance. Take the australian made APS turbo kit for the 350z wich is a popular kit in japan and according to a japanese fellow i spoke to at tsukuba that had one fitted to his car is better quality and makes more power that the turbo kits offered from japanese manufacturers. And like has already been stated australia led the devolpment of the R32GTR so I see no reason that australian companys cant be at the forefront of development for the R35GTR makes complete sense to me.
