I'm just trying to keep myself entertained while i wait to start nightshift again. I don't really care what sort of car a 35 is, not that big of a fan of them haha

It's ok Ryan, I am not personally attacking you.

Ima just shit talk y0 in the Wasteland...

:rofl:

It's what we all do here :thumbsup:

You been in a 911 turbo? Terrible interiors! Or GT2/GT3 = no interior lol. I think it's more this perception that it has to be from Italy or Germany to be classified a supercar, because that's where the exotics and supercar manufacturers come from. Rolls Royce Ghost @ 600k-800k are super exclusive, but I wouldn't call these supercars.

gt2/3 are stripped deliberately so not a fair comparison to a fully loaded car / interior.

dont get me wrong i like gtr's but if someone dangled 458 / aventador / gtr keys infront of me said take one.. it would 100% be the lambo for me.

more than 2 dealers sell skylines, i know werribee does my gf's cousin bought it off the showroom floor.. intended to buy a 370z left with a gtr :laugh:

GT2 RS and GT3 RS are the stripped down ones with half cages at the back from factory :D

Yeah Werribee and Ferntree Gully.

Must have been a no brainer with that decent up sell from a 370Z to a R35 GTR :laugh:

I'm not a fan of the R35 either, Lambo is a better looking/sounding car and more expensive and that's what would pull me to it, just not what defines a supercar for me. Is there a dictionary with this word in it lol?

wiki

Supercar is a term used most often to describe an expensive high end car. It has been defined specifically as "a very expensive, fast or powerful car".[1] Stated in more general terms: "it must be very fast, with sporting handling to match", "it should be sleek and eye-catching" and its price should be "one in a rarefied atmosphere of its own".[2]

However, the proper application of the term is subjective and disputed, especially among enthusiasts. So-called vehicles are typically out of the ordinary and are marketed by automakers to be perceived by the public as unusual. The supercar can take many forms including limited production specials from an "elite" automaker, standard looking cars made by mainstream companies that hide massive power and performance, as well as models that appeal to "hardcore enthusiasts" from "manufacturers on the fringe of the car industry".[3

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
