So far only circuits in Japan is in the GPS. Not internationally yet. Also, once after the track day, you will need to pay thousands for the car to be check by the authorise workshop else warranty void.the r35 is equipped with gps system. heard that when the car enters any international circuit, it will automatically speedcut eliminated by itself. is it true?
Sigh, usual problem when we self import or from grey market.YES true.Especially 1st gen, i knw 1ppl at Malaysia alrdy broke the twin clutch transmission.The gear shifting wierdly and jump frm 2 to fourth gear.Having problem regarding the warranty and the used car can`t get a replacement for him.
This is the second time I am pointing this out. The GT-Rs in Malaysia are not the only ones having gearbox issues. Everywhere else too. Even here in the USA. I am saying this again, the Achilles heel of the car is the gearbox. Google 'R35 Gear box issues' and you will see what I am talking about.From what I understand if you import a vehicle there is no warranty!!!!
You will only get warranty when the vehicle is officially released in your country and sold by an authorised dealer!!!
Of course this will cost a considerable amount more than a grey import.....!!
Regarding the gearbox operating temps, all the R35 testing was done at frigid Japan circuits or in Germany. The gearbox (and most likely the engine and diffs) are going to have issues operating in KUL weather. If you own a R35 in Malaysia I would be putting extra coolers on all of the oil using components of the car. Even then it will struggle to keep temps under control. This is the most challenging conditions I have ever had to operate high performance vehicles in...!!
Even the F1 teams say that Sepang is the toughest race on the calendar due to the high humidity and temps..
My RB26 is having huge issues coping with the temps at the track here..
Rgds,
Turn1
heheheI reckon is just the matter of time for the GTR to reach the certain maturity
Dude, when you bump up the power of the car, what to you expect? The car was not tested and developed to run that kind of power from the factory.I`m not shooting anybody here~but wht does Darkchild said got some correct point and some might i`m not agreed.
Correct, we can`t expect the Original parts without modification working excellent wth hard drive in circuit.STD parts just engineer for std engine(performance) wth extra abt 30% bias for overstress.Sure they was calculate it before manufactured.
YES, Japan is much hotter than Malaysia when summer reaching 42celcius,but the FACT is :
1. Nissan RnD test track was located at Hokkaido and cold every season.They just based on ratio calculation for overstressing parts.Germany also.....
2.Skyline R32,R33,R34 and also Silvia was NOT for EXPORT model outside Japan. Lately new model YES,so thats why they testing at NUR track aiming EUROPE/US as main customer.
So wht does we can expected?hehe ...fragile gearbox for hot weather.
Other auto maker also the same here and more worse...
Impreza gearbox last for 350whp only...evo also....mazda rx7 more worse...
I believe JPN not much talent in making GEARBOX compare OZ/US/Europe...heee
last not END ...abang TONY juga betul, better buy a PORSCHE....N ths statement
hehehe
