[handbrake]

Funny you should say....

[natett]

i wouldnt expect anything less

[handbrake]

new front clutch and upgrade housing

Blue printing and upgrading oil pump

[sinistaGTR]

Great read mark and this is comming a long to be a fantastic build.

Im sure it makes baby jesus cry seeing the 34 pulled apart and chopped like that lol, but im sure it will be fantastic once its finished.

Are there many 35s in japan that have been modified this extensively?

[Thelen]

perhaps a couple from workshops like top secret, but none others *properly* modified like this.

[handbrake]

I've said it before, there would be many intense R35 builds around, just not all have a build thread.

whilst I am posting plenty of info there are significant aspects of the build which are not fully disclosed

So for some more pics: roof off now, cage begins

[limitless]

No Way... That is now insane!! Ehh makes me feel bad on the inside :-( Wow Mark that is a big commitment.

Can't you just approach Nissan and buy a GT1 car.. Must be cheaper..?

[handbrake]

No. You can't buy one and it wouldn't be cheaper

[Damo_R34]

And there would be no satisfaction of building such a masterpiece yourself!

let me ask a dumb Q...

when you cut out all the metal around the rear etc, do you fill it in with a lighter metal for support? or does it just stay blank?

Holy crap - now thats what an R35 is supposed to look like

[stewari]

let me get this right your going to pay like 30k for brakes............

other then that nice work mate look forward to seeing it at the ec

on the other hand i run the bridgestone re55's as well and they are a great tire (only advice i can give you is done waste your money on the perellis as they are junk lol)

i think i just inked

[handbrake]

Not sure who told you 30k but I want some of what they're smoking

[ashneel]

^^ LOL

whats the plan for roof??/ CF roof or weld old roof back in after cage is done?

[handbrake]

CF roof

[handbrake]

from here on in (for various reasons) there will be more judicious posting of the important parts of the build

[Thelen]

Derp derp, I hate people that keep secrets. Isn't like anyone else will make financial gains out of knowing what you built into this GT-R, but whatever it is your money

The race-spec Nismo variant looks interesting, 720k seems quite reasonable really considering all the support and 'warranty' that would be gained.

[handbrake]

has nothing to do with financial gain

new wheels arrived
