Living With A 35 Gtr - Affordable?

[GTRAAH]

noone said an R32 GTR was better your delusional mate im saying for bang for buck you will get loads more power in the rb26 bore it out to a 3 litre and forge the f**k out of it and boost the f*k out of it, here comes over 500kw at the wheels for under 50k, and lets not forget how fun they are to drive the r35 is practically an auto.

Miles Tauber in his R35 GTR did it in 2:15:07. what was the mod list on his car, just curiosty

Offcourse the alpha 12 would smash the winfield gtr im sure there are many other modified Rbs that would smash the winfield also

DOnt get me wrong i love the R35 its a f*kn beast id take that over any other supercar and thats a promise...can you tell me what 5k would make 296kw to 420kw at wheels?

Just to correct you: doing some research On the bathurst track i seen that 2:12min was the record for a R32 GTR back in 91/92:

A stock R35 gtr did it in around 2:25

I dont want to debate but 10k on a rb26 will get you 400+ kw, may snap a diff or something but still over 400kw ;P

its

And by the time im finished with my 94#32GTR will have a complete internal, interior and external make over and will look and go like a f*kn mania thats all i can say. And even though its will cost some money still will beat many R35's and for the less total amount for car and mods. When i picked my R32 i made sure it was Immaculate which is why i spent 27k on it 70,000 real kms back in august 2006. All it had was an exhaust from the cat back and it made 203kw at the wheels. Pretty good bargain if you ask me . It soon will be a classic supercar and if i keep it in the condition its in and keep it for a while with every mod receipt it might be worth a nice ammount later on. But i dont look at it as money its my hobbie. One day ill take the GTR beyond 2013. And both will be my toys im a GTR fanatic

Catless downpipes, midpipe, cold air intakes, 950cc injectors, HKS fuel pumps, turbo inlet pipes, retune, E85. Theres 420kw at the wheels. And you can still get the groceries, pick the kids up from school and drive past the cops without a second glance. Actually I added up those mods and I only paid $4000.

I think Miles's mod list is as above without the turbo inlet pipes. So very basic mods. His car was in Wheels mag or some other mag like that and it was under 400kw at the wheels. Very dyno dependant so not a fair comparison in reality.

[GTRAAH]

but your not talking about labour work? and btw does the r35 take e85 without mods? my car price list was roughly 5k its the labour and stuff that made thr price jump. cops have pulled me over opened the bonnet and closed it with out a word , im not talking about 4 seater and boot space aswell. all gtrs have thatt

fair comparison and 3 seconds slower then the 91/92 GTR... but could be the driver that maybe make that time quicker

[g35me]

No I was not including labour as all those mods are DIY. Injectors, pumps and tune are all that is needed to run an R35 on E85.

[GTRAAH]

R35 = quick Space ship

R32 = Fast classic

My goal is 450kw 4 seaters, Sound system , Interior makeover, Boot space, And 10 inch fat deep dished rims. Slim Sleek and i promise you the cops will open the bonnet and have noting to say.

450kw is enough for me and it wont be on E85. And it will be a sleeper

I will never sell it as to me its not money. I will one day buy the latest GTR when i get into my 40s but still have my 32 in immaculate condition.

[GTR-N1]

if you're going to buy an R34 to keep as a collectable, there's only one........Z Tune

2) V-Spec N1

3) V-Spec II N1

Lumleys SV and Shannon's will insure the above for Sums Insured at well over $105K (and unmodified obviously).

Time & Auction results will tell us if others appear on the radar!

IMO the engine/tranny is the best feature of the GTR, loads of fun in manual mode!

Have you driven an R35?

[GTRAAH]

No but i wouldnt doubt it would be fun, But ive seen an amuture female driver jump in an r35 and do high 11sec 1/4 me just shows how easy it it to drive

[GTRAAH]

What i would do is buy an 09 model and get the internal tune specs and xterior front lights to match the 2012 model. Samething at the end

Only diff is the chassis is older and maybe has higher kms.. thats ok with me as i look after my cars like they are my mother.

Not sure what "female" has to do with it and since when does straight line performance define how easy a car is to drive?

[Marko R1]

This female comment reminds me of when paul diemar was racing twoogle, his wife stacey set the fastest 60 foot time which he could never match...I think it was 1.3sec - it was out of this world

[Marko R1]

2.15s in miles r35gtr versus 2.12s in an r32gtr...this is surprising

Which r32 set this time? Must have been an ATCC gtr...the winfield gtr BEEEAST possibly?

[handbrake]

Um yeah, the Gibson Motorsport R32 GTR was just a wee bit modified

[LSX-438]

Comparing the Gibson R32's to Miles car? I believe they spent something like $600k on each car (20 years ago)... Seriously it's a silly comparison.

[Marko R1]

I agree, the r&d on the gibson r32 is ludicrous...nonetheless, how fast is it still even by todays standards

How much do you think miles invested in his r35?

[LSX-438]

Well if we work out how much $600k in 1992 would be worth today (i would say probably $1.2 to $2m in todays dollars) whatever Miles has spent doesn't touch the sides in comparison. Tobacco sponsorship was good!

[sikmatesubwoofa]

I say get the GT-R, forget the Camaro they sell them for nothing in the states and then they come here and RAPE people on taxes and conversion. Honestly with the way they tax imports it's RAPE, legal RAPE. Add insult to injury that the Camaro was in fact built by Aussies and we have to pay a fortune to even get in one. All of this to save the stupid domestics which no one wants, if german and other imports were cheap honestly Holden and Ford Australia would DIE. They just can't compete so they put these stupid taxes which most of the world doesn't have to save them at the expense of our pockets and options.
