..Right let’s get one thing straight. There are hundreds, nay thousands, of modified Nissan GT-Rs out there and this looks just as Barry as the rest.

But whereas just another exhaust/ECU/wheel change may be easy to overlook, the changes to this GT-R really are worth a mention. For a start the car no longer has power going to all four wheels.

Yes, this is the world’s first RWD Nissan GT-R and by binning the all-wheel drive system tuner Blitz has addressed one of the car’s biggest problems – its weight. Sadly we don’t have any figures but thanks to the removal of air conditioning and a number of other components this R35 should be considerably lighter.

So that’s it – one crazy conversion for this GT-R. Er, well actually there’s two. The standard car’s flappy paddle gearbox has been replaced with a Hollinger sequential ‘box, and a Nismo GT R34 LSD has been thrown in for good measure.

The engine is unchanged but there is a Blitz back box. Blitz has also fitted its own ZRR dampers at all four corners, along with a set of BRW09MAG forged magnesium wheels.

That Blitz R35 will be ken nomura's drift car for the 2010 D1 Series. Blitz should badge it the Nissan GTS-R, maybe. Either way, can't wait for it to get sideways next year. Admittedly the Super GT cars are not AWD (bring back the Group A R32's!!!), and from next year will be using the VK45DE V8 that the previous 350z's used and which the FIA Le Mans GTR will also utilize, seems the vr38 isn't as venerable as one would hope.

I bet nomuken (drinking dog) will finally take the crown for D1GP this year. love to see it drift. BLITZ might need to bring more tyres to each event! and hand out gas masks to the crowd. but this car still might be heavier than his current R34 (1200~1300Kg?) weight makes more smoke tho. any info on it's weight? it's a good thing he weighs around 40kg. haha

BAHAHAH!.. Gasmasks.

Yeah.. its a little over 1200kg his R34.

Im of the opinion he should of won a couple of times now.. He is without a doubt the best crowd pleaser..

mm nomuken is my favourite drifter, mainly for old time sakes, i loved him and his car when i first started getting into drift around 2002ish. but realistically there are better upcoming drifters that have passed him in what is expected in D1 today.

he's awsome thats for sure! I think tires let him down a couple of times. his tires were all bald by the last race and lost grip in the last corner and came second best:( poor nomuken. He's always an under dog in his 4door too. true champ and a funny guy

Just got the V-Opt DVD's of last years(2008) D1, literally watching now, at one point, the commentators are in the pits, showing Nomuraken's 2007 and 2008 R34's side by side, didn't think/know there were more than 1. As much as I love seeing the 34 being competitive, I do think that both Kawabata(Toyo S15) & Kumokubo(Orange WRX/EVO) are better drifters. I still want Nomura to kick ass... It's a pity Drift Australia got diminished(F#%!), would have love to have seen the D1 guys come to Oz, not just a few Demo's at QLD Raceway.

Attached is an early shot of the er34 in development, I believe pic was taken 2004/2005. Looks great!

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
