Been looking at getting a 34 GTR but the good ones are still quite high up and not too far from a 35 GTR - at least here in Japan anyway.

For a similar amount, I can get myself a 2008 35 GTR or a 2001 F1 Modena 360. Not sure which way to go as I would like the technology of the GTR but a 360 is tempting...

Your thoughts?

It's all a question of preference. Ferraris don't really do much for me, so I would personally take the R35 GTR. Having said that, if we were talking about an old Lambo like a Diablo or something similar, I'd take the Lambo in a heart beat.

So, if you love Ferraris, get the 360.

Personally I love the GTR as its very unique where in live Gold Coast, seriously there are so many Ferrari's here they are common, porches are twice as bad they are extremely common here. Too many rich old men retire here I guess.

Anyways the standard Modena's look dated if you ask me, probably because i've seen so many of them over the last few years.

But that one you posted a photo of looks sick because its got a nice bodykit & new big BLACK mags. Looks modern and cool i'd take that over a GTR. Even if you get a standard one you can bodykit it and new mags and your good to go.

Worst part about the GTR is it quiet, super quiet like a mouse, it takes 'some' of the thrill out of the car, (imagine a rollar coaster with ear plugs in, not quite as much fun). You need to spend money on a exhaust to find a good pitch note to make it sound good.

You don't have that worry with a Ferrari engine sitting behind you like in the Modena. I'd probably still take the GTR, just because I need a daily driver car and this is the perfect daily driver you can go anywhere it and its still a supercar to have fun in. I don't really fancy picking up Noodlebox in a Ferrari.

You will need to own both ..........Buy the one that represents as a better purchase first and then

own/drive it until the other becomes available at a must buy price.......

No such thing as a perfect Car as they are all so different .......so why not own/test as many ..............

PS: Naturally you sell one before you buy the other....

The Stradale is a very different beast to the base model, though, so it really depends on what one you're looking at.

Basically, if you're single, buy the F360, if you're married get the R35 haha

HAHAHA! +1 i like the way you think.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
