Thanks. I wanted to buy it few years ago, i.e., the earlier model but due to problems with the gearbox etc.and budget problems decided to wait till I can get a new one and hoped that most of the things will be fixed. So happy to get the subtle changes and smoother drive compared to earlier versions. The only threat is the new version,i., R36, as far as it is few years away, it should be ok otherwise will be heartbroken but to get an end-line of production cycle of a car is always better than the latest version:) :yes:

Hi All,

It was worth the wait for 6 years, the car is just awesome, my first GTR, had an STI before, couple of HSV's, a GTI, an E55, Supercharged Monaro, etc. however, it is in a different league.

Don't have any experience to compare it with R32, 33, 34 or earlier 35, however, I am sure all of them would have the same feeling at its time. Just Amazing......

Thanks for all your inputs in last couple of weeks.

Will eagerly wait for 2,000 kms run in period, any tips from R35 owners will be greatly appreciated.

    • 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.....EDIT... nope, the Kraken is a cast jobbie, the REv9 uses welded up stainless, plus $8000 AUD before shipping, installation and tuning) Where else 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 that Pulse fitted, and it 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
