Is it just me or were some posts just deleted?

Correct.

A worthless post that was irrelevant to this thread was removed, along with a response to it.

Congrats CRD, great news.

Gotta agree with some previous posts about Japan no longer being the be all and end all of devlopment for the cars that come from there.

Personally I think the US market is streets ahead when it comes to this.

Having a V35 i can tell you 100% that a) the amount of aftermarket parts is 10 fold in the US compared to Japan, and b) with this volume the parts are much cheaper.

There are a lot of parts that people believe are much better because they're from a Japanese company. Some are but you can bet that the majority are just as good in the US.

Just browse around the web and see what the US guys are doing with Evo's and 350z's and compare that to Japan. Japan has some crazy cars, but the amount of workshops in teh US tuning and developing these cars is massive compared to Japan.

You can also bet your ar$e that the majority of aftermarket parts for the R35 will come from the US.

Greddy is quite big over there which to me means that CRD have pretty much taken the best possible route with teaming up with them.

No worries, just making sure i wasn't missing a page for some strange reason.

Totally agree with the above post as in the past i have been mainly a 2JZ fanatic and as far as quality parts and development go the US has an abundance of ongoing development compared to the Jap tuning houses.

Lol I looked up youtube....funnny stuff.

hope none of GTRs get the fully sick treatment, although, 10 years down the line it probably will.

Hint: Rajab is a big VL Commodore tuner in Melbourne.

Which means it'll dose.

I wonder if CRD will make the R35 dose?

Sorry if this as been posted elsewhere but Blitz you mentioned that some GTR's are about to be registered in Sydney. Any idea how much they will cost on road?

$150-160k will get you in one easily.

the thought of an R35 'dosing' almost made me vomit all over my laptop

I have never been to CRD in my life, but they have been involved with many big dollar cars and involved in drag racing and circuit racing. So they have some runs on the board.

Irrespective, i find it laughable that people think it needs to be up to the Japanese shops to do the development on them. Australian engineers and tuners are amongst the best in the world. You only have to look at the ranks of Aussies in motorsport and the competitiveness of any Aussie race car that gets raced in a category abroad to know there is plenty of know how.

The Electronics and drivetrain will be the biggest question mark and require the most smarts. But the global market and application of components is huge, so a great opportunity if there is enough kitty to get the development under way

Well said Roy,

Please put in a disclaimer about the Aussie GP2 team though :-)

I look forward to the story.

Which Aussie GP2 team? You mean A1GP ? They suck because the Australian team is paying a UK team to maintain the car and the team is hopeless funded and real driving talent has not been able to find their way into a drive.
