After a few hundred laps of Oran Park, a handful at the Creek, a 10 second quarter mile, and 80-odd laps of Bathurst, I needed something different.....Texi Skids. Yep I took the R35 out to the skids last weekend, managed to finish first in the Go to Whoa, and then got into some drifting! To be honest, some of the Skyline boys were absolute genius drifters, and I was the novice. That said, for a first timer the R35 and I went ok. Check out the photos below and the VIDEO!!!!!!

great driving the other day, and I'm surprised how much sideways action the computers let you get away with in the wet.....you had some pretty big angles going and the car wasn't calling "game over"

good to see another r35 being treated the way they should be

Was very disappointed to find that the GTR is not a proper auto instead a manual. WHen back home in Moldova i will get another AMG

LOL what are you smoking my soviet friend???? GTR has always been manual untill now in which case its still a manual with auto twin clutch..... An AMG is completely different, and which AMG, none of them compare to a gtr in any comparison no matter how you look at it?????

Glad you had nothing to do with the R35's development, because i suspect if you did we would be shit canning it right now!

Looks rather understeery?!?!?!?! I imagine the twin clutch gearbox makes it hard to do these sort of events as you cant really handbrake and clutch drop to get the car around the tighter cones. Well at least thats what they tell me regarding the EVO Xs with flappy gearbox so expect teh GTR could suffer the same fate

Goddamn, this thing sounded awesome!

Had the pleasure of being one of the officials there, which meant i was literally 10cm from the car when it launched. Down side was having to sit down straight after to hide the tent!

Also i was the one that timed you on the Go-to-Whoa and to see you do it almost 2 seconds quicker than anyone else was pretty awesome.

EXACTLY! God I miss my STi in these kind of events. You hit the handbrake in the GT-R and I think diff releases to allow rears to lock and then when u go to power on again it take what feels like an eternity for the electronics to allow the throttles to open again.

Cheers, yeah it was pretty good on the Go-to-whoa, would have been a lot quicker in the dry though!!! Whilst you could argue the combination of weight, no handbrake, and no clutch led to understeer, it would be more accurate to blame the driver. It was my first time in this sort of event, and I was just learning the ropes. We did a couple of runs with no specific course, and I managed to get the thing humming, but it will take a fair bit of practice to nail those tight courses.

Anyway, I highly recommend the event.

      I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?

      More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.

      I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.

      Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
