R35gtr At Sandown

[Doogs1600]

Saw this R35 GTR at MSCA sprint at Sandown 18th Jan 09 - my car is the blue 1600 beside. Shows how cars have grown over the years - 40 years of Datusn/Nissan evolution from 900kg 4 door family car to 2 tonne monster.

The GTR was doing 1:23s with 180km/h limiter still in place. Despite hitting the limiter about 1/3 the way along the straights and lots of cars overtaking, it was still the fastest car on the day.

Is that a genuine GT in front?

probably not is the gtr munched it with speed limiter.

[Bass Junky]

That was my mates.

He reckons it's good for an easy 20 or even less without the limiter.

Teh Coolness.

I'll take the GT in fron thanks

Aswesome time considering the limiter though!

[ras1983]

I'll take the GT too thank you very much. I'll sacrifice a little speed for sexy looks and racing heritage.

The GT40 in the front will almost certainly be a replica either a DRB, a Tornado or infact any one of atleast a dozen different knock offs that you can buy. The shame of it is I have yet to see one driven properly.

They are pretty to look at & apparently ok to drive. Not sure as despite a couple of my mates building them I can't fit into the damn things. Gurney bubble anyone?

Thats true, last time I was out at Sandown with MSCA, I was held up for a few corners by that GT before finally getting alongside it on the straight and passing it.

The car does not have the speed limiter, and runs Stage 1 Cobb Tuning Access Port.

should be good for 1.20/1.21 easily

have fun

what are you planning on doing with the fluids? Will you stick with Mobil 1 or go to something like Redline? And are you planning on changing any of drive-train fluids to that Willall stuff? they claim a lot less particular matter floating around than the OEM stuff...
