Found on another forum.... enjoy!

Top Secret R-35
Power House Amuse R-35
Sunline Racing R-35, dropped on some coilovers they are testing
HKS R-35
Comparison photo between the R-34 and R-35, showing how much wider the new GTR is.
Another comparison photo between the R-34 and R-35
Some post production photos
Under-carriage shot
A few shots of the different colors
The color of the last one, if I recall was, Titanium Grey Metallic. That last color is definitely my favorite, I'd love to do my dc in that color.
*Edit* it was an Amuse cat-back system.
It should be interesting when this car comes out. Can't wait for it.

Actually, hybrids are environmentally unfriendly. You ever checked up on:
- the cost to manufacture vs what they sell for which seems to run $40K vs $20, the difference being subsidized by our tax dollars. Most of the environmental damage done by an automobile is the industrial manufacturing process...
- unpublished emissions @ powerplant smokestack.
- feasability of recycling metal hydride batteries. Hybrids have been on the market for 8 years now, there WAS no recycling for 5 years of that and the architecture of the disposal system is still lacking.
- lifespan; the car as a whole has half to a third of the lifespan of current gasoline automobiles. If your '01 Insight books for $4500 and needs a $4000 battery replacement what are you going to do? Hmmm, maybe throw it away?
Pure electric, hydrogen or boron cell, etc, all have windows of operability that will improve as the technology gets more fluent, but the hybrid stuff is overcomplicated junk.

JD you know I couldn't drive a eco-car. I still dig my 30-34mpg. coupe, my ancient technology B-series is doing just fine. Until I can afford something better, that is.
Just imagine seeing my big mountain man *** in a powder blue prius, with roxy stickers on it. HAHAHA might as well but a USC flag on there to.
If I want economy I'll stick my motor in a Crx to drop a few pounds, should get a few more MPG's out of it then. And I'll go on and drop a few more pounds of my man fat.

The VW TDI cars are probably the greenest things out right now, they get incredible gas mileage and are reasonably priced. I think every person that decided to "help" the environment should be badgered for doing something so stupid. Diesel FTW.
Joey, come do my car. I told you months ago I wanted to get it done sometime.
Ant, the new GTR is way hotter than I thought it was in previous pics. thanks for all those!
Chris, I know you asked jon, but my car has RC 310's in it. They are good for an all motor setup. Seems to work well in my car.

Re: (B16CRXT)
My friend had the spoon replica on his car. Sounded pretty close to my real spoon n1. Quality replica 
If i got one i would maybe just cut the rolled edge part off.

Re: (V3locity)
yea I'm running freshly cleaned/calibrated RC 310's on my setup. For some reason I'm only averaging 25 mpg as of late. I was hitting 31mpg just three weeks ago. Maybe I'm gettin some bad gas, but it seems like I'm getting worse gas mileage since the muffler install also. could have something to do with me getting on it more without fear of cops hearing me from 2 miles away. I'll fill up in a couple days and update my mpg, but I haven't hit 100 miles yet and I've almost used half a tank.I've usually hit 120 by this point...

oxygenated fuel that they use in the winter... it blows ***... gas mileage goes to ****, car runs like **** and i think its some emmisions ****...
check your tire pressures and stuff... i just checked mine and my fronts were down 8lbs just from the temp. change of winter... drag radials are still sitting at 20lbs tho
