Grand for them they don't have to give a big warranty and I'd imagine are putting cars out under Britains low volume regulations which are a piece of pissed to pass compared to high volume car regs.

Also I don't think they have to pass emissions

Even though this is such a great car and stupidly quick, I'd rather have a r32

Lovely car all the same, But their's only one godzilla and that's the 32, R35 is like your fat friend lol

Amazing machine, one thing i note is the cylinders being nikasil coated.
In old motocross bikes that causes nothing only trouble in time!
Maybe things have moved on but I'd be wary of that!

No. All they've done really is modify the engine to produce insane power, which we already knew the GTR (and any Skyline before it) was capable of. Modified the suspension a bit too. But at heart it's still a Japanese GT-R, it's not as if these guys redesigned the fantastic aerodynamics or anything.

Still a beast though, so much want.

Noooooooooo..... the R34 is the nicest Skyline GTR by far. The R32 is a chronic looking thing. Capable, but ugly!
It's important to note that the current GTR isn't a Skyline at all!
