of course they got Nomura to try it out. i wonder if he'll switch over from his R34.

that would be very fun to drive, but i would personally go with the er34 due to the fact its 200kg lighter than the r35. But the look on the guy in the passenger seat when they first start driving is priceless :P

im not at all impressed... it looks like it handles very poorly. don't trump it up just cause its got a GTR badge on it...

suspension isn't stiff enough - saw the nose dive quite a bit when he brakes just before a turn
a lot of body roll from corner to corner too!
tiptronic shifting is garbage.

it just looks like awkward and frustrating to drive.


*my opinion*

tiptronic shifting is garbage.

well it's not "tiptronic". Tiptronic is an electronic manual over-ride on an automatic trans. This car has a custom made sequential dog engagement box. It's common in high level drift cars (and other high performance track cars) to allow for up-shifts mid corner, faster gear changes in general, and avoids mis-shifting.

Suspension is probably set on softest setting. Going by he had to check ECU tune, cars probably not fully setup for drifting (including suspension). Would take some testing to get it set correctly. Maybe it was a testing day that they decided to invite camera's, crew to???

It has a Hollinger sequential gearbox -

Can shift without clutch with dogbox or Hollinger but requires lifting throttle, then changing up, as shown by PPG in this videoclip with non sequential dogbox on R32GTR -
