GTR35 speed cut in Malaysia?

[tony5050]

hi guys,

Was wondering whether the 180km/h speed cut as stated in Japan will function if the car is driven in our region? Thanks

 

[kaminari]

huh?Surela abang TONY~~hehe ....where u want to speeding so fast,seems so hurry!!

 

[tony5050]

hahaha...abang kaminari oi!!..wht's the point of having the God and being not being able to go over 180km/h la..hehehe...

anyway, brought up the question becos i met 2 of them in Sepang track day on Sunday. Tailed them in the circuit and i believe very much they went faster then 180km/h though..

 

[kaminari]

Hooo abang TONY like to CUCUK ppl ya!!haha....tht means ur BALLS is big....ur car fast is it~hehee...old Z??

Is tht R35 GTR Malaysian car?

 

[DarkChild]

Many of the R35's are re-chipped to eliminate the speed cut. A couple have had Mine's ECU's thrown in them as well.

 

[tony5050]

abang kaminari,

old Z park in the pit pun boleh tahan lagi la, cucuk? hehehe... Ya, those are Malaysian GTRs. With wet circuit, their tail is real hard to tame

darkie,

reckon they did that somehow.

 

[DarkChild]

Yup, a couple of the R35 we brought in had the speed cut already eliminated. Then a couple more had ordered Mine's stuff after that. Right now one is being fitted with every Mine's part available for the car. Anyone interested in Mine's stuff can kindly contact me and I will do my best to facilitate you.

At the moment all R35's are import's from Japan and will be Jap spec. Same in Australia.
If they go over 180kms then they have been chipped/ ECU replaced etc.
If I imported a R35 I would not want to be limited to 180kms.!!

Rgds,

Heard that it's better to do the speed cut together with a new transmission cooler for safety reason. The gearbox runs pretty hot on top end in our weather. Anyone can clarify whether that's true or not.

 

[kaminari]

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.

 

[DarkChild]

Gearbox is an issue everywhere. Not just in Malaysia. It's the Achilles heel right now and one of the biggest reasons I decided not to keep one. Give it time. There are many people developing useful parts and upgrades for the car now that the R35 is available in other countries, especially the States.

 

[raptorie54]

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?

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.

Sigh, usual problem when we self import or from grey market.

Lets wait for Tan Chong to officially bring the car in. But it will for sure cost us an additional arm and leg

guys,

thanks so much for all the input here. I reckon is just the matter of time for the GTR to reach the certain maturity and its going to be "the" monster for many more years to come. So far, Carrera seems like a more practical choice for Malaysia..

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,

It's built in with GPS system that detects the area. If the GPS is being able to detects that U are in the track, It'll open up the speed cut.

That's what I heard...

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.
Yes, our country is a lot hotter than most places but do you know that during the summer, Japan is much hotter than Malaysia? What about the other auto manufacturers? Do they develop cars to run only in their own countries and in their own conditions? So cars they make should only run in their own countries? That sounds stupid doesn't it? Come one, think about it...
You put an RB26 in to a car that was not developed for it, what makes you think it will run the way it is supposed to be without the supporting mods? What about the way your car flows air? Do you think it's the same as a GT-R? If it was a closer platform like the GTT, it may be debatable...

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

I reckon is just the matter of time for the GTR to reach the certain maturity

hehehe

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.
Back to the R35's...
So what about those GT-R's that were made to be sold in the USA? They shouldn't have gear box issues since the car was developed for that country, right? So why are they having the same gearbox issues as well? What about EU? The GT-R was made to run properly in those countries as well right? So, why do they have the same gearbox failures and issues too? You are Not making any sense. Automakers don't develop cars for one climate. What's more, their countries have 4 seasons unlike ours so wouldn't they build a car to accommodate that?
What about the other auto manufacturers? They do the same to? Pfft....

My advice, type www.google.com, point your mouse to the search bar, click it and type r35 gear box issues, and slowly read.... Is that so hard?
Hopefully I can expect more intelligent comments being made after that.
