Saw my first Skyline R35 yesterday...
 
Smart as anything, being driven properly.

Was in the Mrs Micra :cry: 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 :cry:

GARETH T 16-06-2009 07:17 PM

i dont like them!

WongRS 16-06-2009 07:20 PM

I have fitted a set of tyres to one, twice.
I think they area bloody lorry, its that big it needs a reversing camera, i want the brakes though.

Robs Frst 16-06-2009 07:24 PM

i have seen fucking loads around swindon...im not joking either!

Rhys 16-06-2009 07:34 PM

Seen one over a year ago when i was in Japan. No getting away its an amazing car, but it does nothing in the wow factor for looks etc.

vroooom ptssssh 16-06-2009 07:37 PM

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!

Lambchop 16-06-2009 07:42 PM

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

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 :DD:

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

Seeing a 34 and 35 in convoy is pretty cool :guitarist:

Dont know the beemer. was it a 5 series?

So what mods does it need? Is it something the other high hp say "1000" brake cars have?

who built it?

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 :DD:

I can see it being a love hate thing to be honest. different I guess, and why not, its a track car :top:

Phil 17-06-2009 11:21 AM

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

too right, and it will definatly get used properly!

fiesta wrs 17-06-2009 04:51 PM

i went out in a grey 1 at nurburghring, i didnt like them at all until i went out in it, god theyre quick i nearly left dirt in the seat :)

Asturias 17-06-2009 04:51 PM

Part of the fun would be killing 911's with it,shirley youd never tire of that!!

Only thing i dont like is that its a bit too bulky,everything else is nice though!

cossie604 17-06-2009 05:00 PM

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.
