Default Saw my first Skyline R35 yesterday...

Smart as anything, being driven properly.

Was in the Mrs Micra at the time and it past us as we were hitting the bottom of the M11, the bloody Micra was on full throttle just to get up to 70 and it just blipped its throttle and pissed off up the road without even trying.

Didn't manage to get a photo, but still I'm converted.

So at the rate I am saving I might be able to get one when the R40 come out

I've seen a couple, one black and a mate has a white black edition.

awesome, awesome car ZERO lag, gearchange in something stupid like .3 of a second...he also has an R34 with 535WHP, the GTR pumps it when nailed side by side, but i'm quite confident as the 34 makes more HP it will reel it in as the revs rise as it's seriously quick once it gets going!

Dave who the hell has them then? Must be rich to fuel up a 535@wheels 34!

One of the highest roller figures? the noise at high revs must be immense!

It's the chap who owns the red turbocharged BMW.

Yea, well we seen a higher figure on the same car but it needs further mods to run that power, so it's a 'safe' 535WHP ATM

Noise from the 4" bore exhaust is pretty loud aye lol

Seeing a 34 and 35 in convoy is pretty cool

Yea a 5.

It just needed an extra fuel pump or 2 as the already uprated one wasnt enough at higher boost/revs!

Forget who built it tbh, AVA mapped & it 'kin shifts

You couldn't have got the title much more wrong, it's not even called a Skyline or an R35, its a Nissan GTR

Saw a few over at Leman last weekend...personaly I prefer the look of the old R32 out of all of them....but cant deny the new 35 is an obsolute weapon.
