R36 Driving Impressions

Just a quick question - is that the Mocha Anthracite colour, or is it something else?

Dad is going to be ordering his R36 next week, and we love that colour... but have no idea if you can get it in it (brochure/website/salesman all say different stuff)

Yeah, that's the Mocha Anthracite colour. I'm fairly sure it's not available in Australia - we only get Biscay Blue, Reflex Silver, Candy White (but only in conjunction with a sunroof) and Deep Black.

I'd look pretty hot in white... but it's an R car, it should be whatever awesome blue colour is associated with that model

Hmm, problem then. Dad doesn't like Candy White or Biscay Blue, Mum doesn't like Reflex Silver. As for me, I like either Black or Biscay Blue (is there any chances the resale will be higher with the blue since it's a R unique colour?) and my brother is impartial

Went down to the snowies again near the end of november:
Looks right at home

great looking shots cro...did you have to fit chains? where there any issues?

At first there were no issues, I even towed one XR6T stuck on some ice that couldn't get up a hill.But whilst we were waiting around for the tow truck to come around and get a second XR6T out of a ditch a blizzard and colder weather came around pretty fast.

Driving after that was fine till I hit some ice and mowed down one of those red poles, cracking my bumper
Although the manual says no chains allowed I'll be getting some next time I go down to the snow.

i wonder if their is sufficient clearance between the back of the wheel and the strut?....that has been the problem on my last two cars (liberty gt sti and renault clio sport)

On the Vortex forums someone with an R32 fitted some Rud Centrax chains without issue.
They do have a slightly skinnier wheel though. I guess I'll find out this winter
