Pretty good but a bit over the top. You've got to wonder what a side vent that big would be used for on an FR car. The smaller vent at the bottom would be enough for rear brakes, then there's the f40 type vents, the ones on the bonnet seem too far back to be cooling anything but I guess they would have to have a purpose, but then there's the back ones again. What are they cooling?

Function criticism aside I actually like it as far as over the top body kits go.

Fake like a $12 bill!

Haha!!

The rendering is an artist's idea of what a Top Secret R35 might look like.

It's not meant to be a rendering of an actual car - it's a concept rendering. I thought it was pretty interesting.

Yeah I know man, I see where your coming from.

It's quite an aggressive bodykit render.

:blink:

Yeah I like it too :D

It'll be interesting to see if the rendering influences any of the bodykit manufacturers in Japan.

I always like more aggressive styling like that :)

This image has been around for a long time and posted many times.

I spoke with Hyobu Shibuki about this render in June which Top Secret were aware of and was told jokingly "that it was ridiculous, it has the Nardo 400 stickers on it not those ones shh" lol

The vents on the fender tops look good, though smashed windscreens from track debris would get very old, very quickly.

Looks like a prop for the next Fast and the Furious flick, no thanks! ...credit tho for the artistic talent and imagination. Stock R35 is sn incredibly horn looking piece of kit, anymore plastic or graphics just ruins it for me.

the vents on teh rear could be used for cooling the gearbox. Or simply for cooling cores for gearbox, diffs and engine. Who knows how u could affect the weight balance or what it might do the the aero...

Yeah the airflow would be affected a lot. The German DTM Touring cars also run some pretty wild aero on the rear. Here's a couple of examples ...

    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
