There are images referenced in the HTML - but they're not displaying. I guess they f'd something up!

im shopping LED again........scandy set me the challenge, and i know the trailer needs a paint job so it might be time to do some more lighting

I knew it was either fenders or the lip my bad lol.

Luke how much is shipping for a 1500mm one? I'm looking for the fuji spec m I think it is

Anywhere from 150-200 depending on weight.

like Duncan said the code was there for pics but the failed at the uploading or permissions or something, the text doesn't mean as much without the pics but hey they might come online

Reader Luke Terbeeke sent us these photos he snapped of this rather impressive R35 GT-R. Heavily modified, this R35 has evolved into a carbon-clad circuit weapon, which Luke discovered circling Mallala Motor Sport Park in South Australia.

Luke advised that the owner of this stunning GT-R is Sebastian Lip, who entrusted R35 specialists Willall Racing to build the vehicle.

This particular R35 features a host of aftermarket components to improve the performance, handling and braking. Under the hood, the VR38 has upgraded Willall WR35TT turbochargers which feature larger compressor wheels. Engine management is via the popular Cobb system, with an HKS boost controller and knock sensor. The fuel system comprises of Willall twin pumps, a surge tank and DeatschWerks 950cc fuel injectors.

As the vehicle is used for circuit racing, Sebastian's R35 features a Willall Racing transmission cooler, front and rear diff coolers and AAM Competition oil cooler. These are further cooled down via their misting system, which sprays water onto the cores.

The R35's transmission has been beefed up with a 1st gear replacement from PPGearbox, with Willall fitting 14-plate composite clutch packs. The composite materials are said to increase torque transfer by 30%.

Several of the R35's panels have been swapped in favour of carbon alternatives. These include the hood, trunk lid and front fenders.

The GT-R's cornering abilities have been improved with Penske coilovers and Willall camber arms, while the brake calipers now clamp onto rather expensive carbon ceramic rotors. Interestingly, the R35 features further water cooling - this time for the brakes. Electronically-controlled jets automatically inject a spray of water into the centre of the rotor under hard use, apparently reducing temperatures by up to 200deg F

WTF? How much damage do you need to be a repairable write-off?

WTF!?!?!

water damage? maybe hail damage or something?

[D_Stirls]

Quick question stock manifold ported or s/s after market better?

sr20 putting on a HKS gt-ss so not expecting any large numbers just response and mid range.

Definitely stick with the factory manifold, worth at least 300rpm in response (unless you are spending $1000 for a merge collector manifold), they will handle the heat better and won't crack like the SS one is guaranteed to do eventually.

I had a s/s manifold (that I had HPC coated) on my S15 and it cracked within 4 months .... AND I didn't notice any performance gains.

Stainless manifolds - are junk

Greddy recently had to replace all their stainless R35 GTR TD06 manifolds with cast as nearly all of them failed with extreme cracking etc.

sweet makes my choice easy. Thanks

Dude on NS wants to buy my gate, but only if he can pay via paypal. Apparently he can't use ordinary transfers or cash withdrawals...

Who the f**k survives these days if they can't freely shuffle their own money around freely. Sounds whack as f**k to me.

[Weezy]

good morning lolz

[Weezy]

sweet makes my choice easy. Thanks

+1 to S/S being junk! Cast mani FTW.

[Brezza]

Am glad i bothered to get the engine mounts replaced with Nismo ones.

one of the engine mounts was busted, which explains why i could feel the engine and gearbox move under WOT.

Looking forward to picking the car up and hopefully it'll survive a while before having to get something else fixed!

all the cheap and generic and even some of the jap ones fall into this category. but not all stainless mani's are junk. Mine's made from stainless steam pipe with 3mm wall thickness complete with merge collector and its strong as hell.

new wheels next weekend. pretty excited , 17x9 +22 all round

[On Edge]

what did you get?
