Asked Jim Richards What He Thought Of The R35 On The Weekend


Recommended Posts

Bumped into Jim RIchards at the Shannons tent at speed on the tweed over the weekend, he was standing next to his 997 GT2 which he drove in Targa West.

He was a great guy to chat to, i asked him what he thought of the r35. He said it was damn impressive and very very fast. I also asked him about his experience with the r32 and he said that it was an amazing vehicle to race.

We chatted for a few minutes, i told him i was a big fan etc!! as you do. Before i let him be, i asked if he was going to get his own back on the gtr in targa tas, he said "he's certainly going to try" the tone suggested there was a small amount of uncertainty in his 2 wheel drive porsche's capability against GTR and he went on to say how good the 4wd is down there [tas]........

What a great guy to chat to. Im still a big fan..

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
