I Sat In The New GT-R R35 Skyline

Medrivfast · 03-23-2008, 03:04 PM

I went to Hot Import Nights Last Night in Los Angeles. I was talking to Daryl Alison from J Spec. He was a really nice guy to talk to. Well, they had 4 Skylines all lined up together. R32, R33, R34 & The new R35. The new GT-R was straight from Japan. So it was right hand drive. After talking for about 20 minutes about the car he let me sit in it. Once i sat in it he than let me start it up and play with the on-board computer. DAMN!!!!!!!

Here are my views on the inside and the computer:

The car is comfortable for short trips (under 100 miles i would guess)
I'm 6' tall and i had about 1-1 1/2" left of headroom
Center console could be a bit deeper for misc items
Interior felt really nice
I'm about 235 lbs and the seats weren't too snug for me
I didn't pay attention to the back seats. But, Daryl said a child can fit back there if you only move the passenger seat up a bit.

Computer:
It seemed really easy to work the touch screen at a stand still. It might be a bit difficult hitting the right buttons while driving.
It was nice and clear to read everything

To start the car up:

I didn't pay to much attention to what he did as far as the key. Daryl either inserted the key or waived it near the ignition. But, after he did that i pressed my foot on the Brake and pushed the red start button in the center consol. To turn it off you just push the red button.
The GT-R sounded mean when it started up. It was a nice deep throated sound.
We looked at the exhaust and the pipes seemed really small and restricted. About 2 - 2 1/2"

It was Right hand drive. In order for them to bring it here to the states they had to dis-assemble the car and ship it over.
