R34 Vs R35 - Not School Holidays Yet, This Is Not What You Think.


Recommended Posts

I like white Rs.

I think if I had looked around instead of buying the first R I saw I would have got white or Midnight Blue, not black , it is a shit to keep clean :/

Dark is not too bad, had a darkish blue 350GT, looked great and hardly noticed the dirt, BUT BLACK is a nightmare . Shit leave it in the garage for a few days and it looks shit. I made a cover setup so I did not have to wash it every time someone gave it a dirty look :yes: Photo

But clean they look great :yes:

To someone who used to get down on his hands and knees to blow the excess water out of the wheel nuts, it's horror.

I am not that bad now, but not saying I couldn't be that bad again with another GT-R =\

Call me crazy but i was in a financial position to purchase any R chasis car 32-35. I went with the 32 as it is my fav GT-R out of the bunch, iam now doing a 3L bottom end conversion with a Nitto 3.2 stroker. It all comes down to personal preference. The 35R is miles ahead of any BNR but i dont like it because it is auto and (IMO) ugly as fuark.. Get what ever makes you happy.

To be honest, the more I think about it, the more I lean towards the 34, purely for connection reasons. I realise it's substantially less powerful/refined/capable etc but that's not what the purchase is about.

That said, when it happens I will definitely test both and the missus has also stressed that she feels I should test some other things also - I have a feeling she would much rather me with a 4 door, possibly something Euro and I'll test those 2 but ultimately I just want another GT-R.

    • This isn't for lotsa powers, and time and effort isn't even a thing I'm concerned about The whole reason is "Just because fun", and "Just because fun" is what I do And whilst there are other kits, with better and more modern turbos (Rev9 use the same Kraken manifold I believe), where in Sydney can I do a drive in drive out with the after sales support that MX5 Mania give My Turbo 86 made around 200kwatw on a AVO turbo kit, and was over 100kg heavier than the MX5, but it was a blast to drive around the streets, until I crashed it.....DOOH, so somewhere around 200 ish level and some whooshy noises and I'll be happy driving to work, the shops, or heading into the country with Jackie for Devonshire tea So, thanks Dose for your info, it sounds like a 0.64 will be fine for what I'm after👍 The only real racing I do nowadays is to the toilet  
    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
