While i haven't driven the R35, i have sat in one in Ginza.... and you are spot on about the cabin layout and finish. The 35 has a great layout and the seats/dash display are excellent. The build quality is "tip top" :) :)

Pics from the one i sat it... (and cried over when the ace salesgirl said 'no' to a test drive...)

Review was a bit "yawn" to me, nothing I haven't read in countless auto magazines. But at least you used your own photos this time!

IMO this is a better review:

Congrats on getting a drive Dan. Nice article. I so know how you feel when you get handed the keys. Lol it's a bit of a moment where you can't reconcile the want to drive vs. the value of someone's pride and joy.

It was worse when a mate in Singapore let me drive his one. Over there it's a $230k USD car so it's tough to go too rough on it. I did anyway...

p.s. the LED lights are simply Nissan options not Nismo items. If they were made by Nismo the price tag would be 1.8million yen. Per side.

And they'd void your warranty if you bought your car from Nissan Australia.

Brokaz: thanks for the feedback, I'll keep that in mind for next time. Hard to really jazz up a brief stint behind the wheel at predominantly legal speeds in a privately owned car. Thought it best to just tell it like it was rather than try and make it out to be something it wasn't.

Scathing: Great image, I love it lol

Sewid: Thanks for clarification, I was a bit curious about that when Carl mentioned it but he assured me it was a Nismo item so we went with it. Keep up the good work over at GTR Blog too, I'm loving it.

    • And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !
    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
