[NISMO S-TUNE]

Finger licking GOOD !!!

 

[Ben Linney]

thanks guys. anyone know how many 35's there are in Malaysia now ?

I was in KL at xmas. saw 3 in my friends car dealership Mofaz. shame u guys have such high import tax :(

 

[Edward Chew]

"Tune in to 102 Unleaded". hahaha

Shame we have only 97 here. Or maybe 99 V-power.

 

[jinggo84]

yep...need to be damn rich to own this car...

i'd say i'm more well connected than 'rich' haha


yup BP 102 is good stuff. race fuel from the pump. we saw 520bhp on the dyno with stock R35

 

[DarkChild]

Hey Ben. Good to see you in these forums too. =)
There are plenty of R35's here in Malaysia. Brought in around 5 or 6 on my side.
You know Fairus and Fariz too? Cool.
Let me know the next time you are in town.
Lovely pictures. Cem's GT3 is looking good too. :top:

 

[farizio]

Welcome!

I keep reading about Ben Linney and his famous first-in-UK-R35 and seeing that car all over the mags and youtube, but i never expected the man himself to make an appearance in these forums!

Like Darkchild said, lotsa R35's on our roads, i lost count long ago

if you ever come down to KL, hit us up on these forums and we'd be happy to greet you with with some Malaysian Skyline hospitality hahaha

ps: 1/4 Malaysian eh? what are the odds

 

[Ben Linney]

thanks for the kind welcome guys much appreciated

I love Malaysia and will defo be back this winter, as i hate UK cold winters. Had the most amazing time when i was over in dec/jan. Got to check out the tuning shops in Sunway like Links. Quite shocked at the high level quality of cars and facilities.
Liked Heratige row, so many cool jdm cars about. also Zouk was good, not to mention the MEGA shopping malls and 24 hour restaurants. Nothing like that in UK

Taking an R35 on Sepang racetrack has to be on my to do lists


cheers guys

 

[shark79]

welcome mate.....great to have a new addition to forum.......hey i got an uncle who lives in essex

 

[wonderkid]

nice ride bro, a really great monster..thumbs up for your ride bro :top:

I already saw 2 of R35 here in Labuan and 2 in Sabah

 

[Driftmeister]

Greeting Ben,

That was one exciting pics galore for us to oogle...very happy we have a Malaysian (1/4 also enough) thats contributing so much for the Skyline community in UK. I probably read many of your post in the GTR UK forum. Wish could have the same number plate as ur ride R35 SHY..sweet yet mysterious. Hope to see you more in our forum and keep us posted on which mag your car is featured again. Cheers!
