A recent post on Speedhunters titled How A 2,200hp GT-R Can Save The World was a good read and featured this Middle-Eastern built R35.

Some quotes from the article;


Here you’ll also find a simple dial for controlling boost, which as you might imagine is usually always wound the whole way up. The whole way being somewhere around an incredible 60psi (4.1bar).


Remember when I mentioned reliability? The engine has put down over 100 quarter mile runs, over 25 half mile runs and countless dyno pulls without issue. That’s impressive.


In standing mile trim, the car ran 354.33km/h (220.2mph) over the half mile at the first round of last season’s Qatar Mile. This was whilst only running at circa 40psi (which results in a power figure of around 1700-1800hp). That made it the second quickest half-mile car in the world at the time.

Some takeaways for myself;

I am seriously impressed to see a car like this built, but more impressed to see it built in Qatar. I'm also impressed to see what its able to do in warm temperatures.

The engine bay looks almost stock! Thats really cool.

This cage looks amazing. Theres more pics of it on Speedhunters, its a work of art.

That's the spot where one of the side mirrors used to be. The three outer holes are where the bolts were and the middle one is for the harness wire.

Wow. definitely impressive... but soooo much money spent and they couldn't properly delete the side mirrors?

My reasoning would be that four rubber caps weigh and cost a lot less than welding/bondo-ing and repainting the area for a proper shaved look - plus it's reversible if the car were ever to be revamped for road course duties. The other option, replacing them with lightweight race mirrors, is pointless if it stays a drag car.

There's also the ever popular reason of simply "because racecar" - not everything has to be done to be the most aesthetically pleasing on a race vehicle. Heck, some people really dig that ghetto $hit - the riveted overfenders on Liberty Walk and RWB cars are just one example :)

Of course, if it were me, I'd have fabricated some snazzy carbon fiber blanking plates to cover that part - the same method that's used for sportbikes at trackdays.

That is a great idea! even if it had one of the sponsor logo.

Interesting that the photographer has made it a focused feature.

It's artistic! :P

Hi All,

Just read some of the posts, very interesting and saw that this was the last updated thread.

I just joined today and wanted a bit a advice. Unfortunately, I am not on facebook hence can't joint the GTR facebook groups.

My question is off this topic, so I apologise for this, I thought there was no point of creating a new thread for simple suggestion required from you all.

I am about to purchase a R35 and the colours available to me is either Vibrant Red or Black. I have had a chat with the Mrs. and we are indecisive as both have it goods and bads.

I would appreciate if you guys can do some sort of voting i.e., pro/con simple comments which may help us tip over to one side.

My Pro/Cons are as below:

Black
Looks mean, safe from investment point of view, black with black combination is forever
Cons
Can't see most of the trims as it blends in, the wheels also kind of blends in, too many of them, almost 50-60% are in black, can see marks etc

Vibrant Red
Stands out, can see all the trims and wheels in contract, not too many of them so will stand out
Cons
Many suggests that it doesn't suit GTR, i.e., it is for exotic Italian cars etc., may be poor resale (need your advice, i.e., would you guys buy it over black), doesn't look tough, however looks sportier

Your comments are much appreciated as I have to decide tomorrow morning.

P.S. I have paid a deposit on Black, however, I have put a hold on red till midday tomorrow. Also I have considered other colours but these 2 are on my shortlist.

I'm biased since black is my favorite color and red one of my least so my R35 is black. You can't go wrong with choosing black with one caveat - you have to be willing to take care of it. Black shows dirt like nothing else so regular upkeep is a must. The lack of contrast for the wheels is fixed easily if you swap them out - I put Volk GT30s for exactly that reason and my car has gotten a lot of compliments over the years. Five car show trophies and counting for proof, not to mention that when I went to the Nismo Performance Academy with 19 other GT-R owners the staff from Nissan said my car was the most tastefully done R35 there.

The best argument I've ever heard for black is that there's a reason why everyone always talks about finding the "new black" - it's because black is simply timeless and the fact people are always looking for a new color to trump it just shows the lasting quality it has.

So anyway, buy the red one - 'cause I don't want to see more GT-Rs the same color as mine :D

You're in Australia though so I guess I can let you have a pass lol.

I like both. :) I followed a black one this morning in traffic and as GSX-R35 alluded to, there is something special about the simplicity of a good black.

My fave colour on cars (particularly GTRs) is white. Sorry to throw a spanner in there.

Thanks Guys.

I am going to the dealership in an hour with couple of friends and will get the vehicles parked side by side and make a decision, will post you guys once I have decided with the photos.

Tough the Red also looks very striking and the wheels look very nice contrasting the Red and then the black interior is also a nice contrast.

Hi All,

Firstly, thanks for all your inputs, very valuable when I was making a decision.

I was lucky enough that our Nissan GTR dealer had GMG, Black and Red at the same dealership and I saw them in the same light/room etc. conditions etc.

I have gone for Vibrant Red as the moment you see it, it is striking, the Black & GMG you have to identify the body kits etc. whereas in Red you can see different details of the body kits. I must admit that both Black & GMG are timeless and don't come in radar at first look so will keep you out of trouble, however, Red shows off the GTR and based on my age group and performance of GTR I felt a little bit of show-off will do, also considering I have another black vehicle I went for Red.

If money wasn't a problem like mayweather I would have gone for Black. GNG although very sober colour, didn't do it for me. But I will be missing not to have black.

Photos attached, not great light when they were taken.

Thanks once again and hope to see you on road soon.

      FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Watermouse · Posted

      I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again

      Rv37 400r questions

      By sonicii · Posted

      No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
