Willall Racing Buys Australia's First Official Complied/street Registered R35gtr


Recommended Posts

...

Remember, while "newer" is usually better in regards to technology, there can never be a replacement for the old school style,

& it will be a long time before an R35 can go flying past a properly sorted R34 or R33.

Hello new world of GTRs, & after years of drooling over photos on the net we can actually see & play with them.

...

I find that quote interesting. At Targa West an R35 GTR won over many well setup cars such as Evo's, 911's etc. So surely it wont be too long before an R35 wins other Targa events ahead of the older GTRs? (none entered in Targa West unfortunately)

Yeah I was down the workshop today and can vouch for the potent sound of the removed resonator from the exhaust - it now sounds much angrier ;)

Took a few more pics too.

Was good to catch up with Matt/Whatsisname down there too (for the youngsters: Matt is one of your old school mods who is rarely about these days).

Likewise, mate. It had been a while since I'd ventured down to Willall. A lot has changed! It was good to catch up with Martin too - it's been about 2yrs.

Although I had already seen the R35 in the flesh earlier in the year at the Adelaide Motorshow (where I caught up with Munro) getting a chance for a closer look at the car has confirmed in my mind that the new GTR more than lives up to the hype and expectation. It was only after Martin pointed out how large the R35 looks when compared to the other 'supercars' present (997 911 Turbo and Gallardo) that I realised just how big it is - mainly due to width.

The smaller features of the R35 that Martin talked about were really interesting and I am keen to see just how much can be extracted from the car with the standard ECU running the show. It certainly didn't take the guys long to begin dabbling with upgrades - nice work! The exhaust upgrade has already transformed the aural presence of the R35.

At the end of the day, I struggle to think of another production vehicle that can deliver so much for such a relatively modest price tag.

I'm hoping the humble offering of a test run in a twincharged Golf GT DSG and TRD Aurion will equal a brief on-road R35 experience :banana:

whos got the quickest 1/4 mile run for the r35 so far? i take it none are moddified enough to drop a 9sec pass yet?

Pete is an AWESOME bloke, knew everything about skylines

My engine was prob one off the last he built there before moving on

He told me that he just needed a change, he was actually building cars and working fo Keirs business (sandblasting i think) at the same time...

err.........me thinks you'll be waiting awhile

bah nonsense, you got the cash sled buy a r35 start stripping that fancy interior void that warrenty and slap some monster turbo's on there and make it snappy

go hard or go home sled, o wait a min your already home

hehe if pete buys a 35 gtr ill be at his place all the time giving him free labour hahaha

-D

Considering the GTR has been released on a global scale, for the first time in it's history, I'm tipping that we'll be seeing low 10/high 9 second drag versions sooner than people think.

Not only are the Japanese workshops already starting to develop upgrades, but this time the massive US market are gearing up to put runs on the board.

Sure are, a few of the heavilly cashed up 1000+hp 8 sec supra owners have bought them

and they went straight into the shop for mods. Can't remember but i thought they made

over 500-550rwhp on dynojet dynoes already(could be wrong and can't be bothered searching)

cheers

darren

blergh :D

35 looks like a beached whale compared to the sexy lines if the 34 GTR, that pic just proves it!

    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
    • Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
