It's amazing how close the times were

4 different drivers in 3 R35s

although the JDM car is quickest (J B)

.

.........run 1.....run 2.....difference

A R.....20.06.....19.81-------.25

B P.....19.81.....20.00-------.19

M T.....19.21.....19.20-------.01

J B......18.56.....18.59-------.03

Yeah but Jeff - the AR and BP times were the same car (stock ADM) - the MT was the other stock ADM car whilst your times were from a JDM car with an Accessport! They were 3 very different times between the cars though given they are the same car and the fact that each car could easily replicate it's own times.

A little off topic here but I have a question for the R35 GTR owners... How do the R35 GTR's compare to the earlier model GTR's as far as being a drivers car goes?

One of the best driving experiences in a GTR ive had was in a lightly tuned R32, the balance and response of the car and how easy it was to control once the car was pushed beyond the traction limit of the tyres was inspirational. Pushing it past understeer into power oversteer balancing throttle and steering etc. My R34 comes very close and will hopefully be as good as if not better with a few alterations I am working on.

I recently saw the new Jeremey Clarkson film called Thriller, and he doesnt like the GTR at all. He tends to lean to ferrari and the lambo's, but I cant help but think he just isnt a good enough driver to push the limits of the R35 GTR. They didnt show him geting the car sideways once on that film.

So I was wondering, how does the R35 GTR feel when pushed to the limits of traction and beyond?

hi, had lightly modified R33 with type HA teins suspension but the road handling was no comparison to the new 35. Can't tell you about the power though as i am still running in

The first thing I did to my old R33 GTR was remove the Tein HA's! They were crap with 12/8kg springs and valving designed to shatter your vertebrae. Utterly useless for the street.

HA's are about the bottom rung of japanese aftermarket suspension. they are (were) the cheapest teins you could get that had damper adjustment. they are a cheap twin tube shock that in reality is no better (maybe worse) than stock GTR gear. but that's kind of OT. thank god they are discontinued!

Indeed. The only thing they were good for was lowering your car to the bump stops. Definatly worse than stock. I ended up selling the R33 gtr with stock R34 suspension fitted with lowered springs. Cheap but way better than the teins.

    • 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
