Spacers are not in my plans for now. I don't think the car needs them but it's always subjective. There have been some issues I've read with spacers as well overhating/failing on R35s (just reading through Google/GTR forums) in general they're cheap Chinese replica spacers but you get the picture. Not worth the risk for something I don't think the car needs.

I just re-read this and realised if it was me ... I'd be the idiot who probably would add spacers lol So take no notice of me

@Tufty thank you sir - the man to praise here is @Reno_LV - his attention to detail is amazing. We're planning a lot more shots to come. We just need some weather to be on our side
@ChrisL LOL I like that, agree and disagree in two posts of each other The interesting thing is the optimisation service is mainly focused on the suspension ie; they carry out camber & wheel adjustment as part of it and the manual itself states most of the running in is for suspension stroke. It's going in for that this week and we will see how it feels.
Having been looking more and more at Litchfield and others in regards to tuning/mapping ... I just don't think the car needs it. It's a highly capable car out of the box and if there's any reason for me to need more than 570BHP I've yet to find it plus let's be honest... I don't fancy trying to get a warranty claim for remaps etc. Litchfield won't warranty me as I am not in mainland UK but that being said I don't honestly think power is a concern of mine. My priority is some more noise and that's coming in the next month or so

Thats an insight into my car life, consistently battling with the other guy on my shoulder lol
Y pipe I presume is on its way ... are you changing the stock system also?

Thats good to hear, its the only thing I can say I don't like on the car.
Those exhausts, huge but with a (in relation to the outer part) tiny actual exhaust looks silly to me.
Manufacturers have done some dumb stuff with their exhausts lately.
Ha ha cheers bud, appreciate it! I used to but don't any more!
I actually said exact same thing yesterday! I am sure it will have a proper one on soon!

What sort of a lighting rig do you have on the car? Or is that just just some seriously good editing?
I can confirm it is fecking fast

Y-Pipe isn't quite on it's way. There are several different manufactures, sizes and other options so I am trying to figure out which would work best. As for the whole exhaust system... I'm really in no rush to change. It's a full titanium valvetronic exhaust system out of the box but from the reading/research I've been doing it's a fairly restrictive system so a y-pipe and new exhaust would result in some gains for sure.
