Not really pointless IMO as it shows how much a step forward in performance from the factory the R35 is, by comparing it to well regarded and tuned examples of former models

I've watched the DVD and at the end tsuchiya makes the remark that the r35 was faster in the corners, just the long straight was what kept the tuned cars in front

Best Motoring GTR Loaded DVD.

I got it and watched that race and it was nuts.

R32 GTR 400PS

R33 GTR 600PS (2.8lt stroker kit)

R34 GTR 600PS

R35 GTR Stock

At first I thought it was abit unfair to the R35 as all the other GTR's were tuned, but judging from the finish times, it came 3rd and the times were very close, all within a difference of seconds.

As for the R32 GTR, with only having 400PS, it still kept up very well and kept the race tight.

As keiichi Tsuchiya was saying, the tyres were starting to wear down and was slipping / lossing traction, which I believe due to the weight of the car and every setting set to R Mode, it gave the car a good thrashing.

Just goes to show how a stock R35 GTR can stand its ground up against highly tuned GTR's and only afew seconds slower is very impressive.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
