hey guys

i have to design a car for a make beleive customer in VCD

a hotted up version of the R35

for now it will be stroked to 4.0 litres

twin turbo, titanium exhaust.( thats it as not much engine detail is needed)

but i need detail for the body, brakes, rims

rims will most likley be a mix of ce28n and R35 GTR stockies

body will be either gun metal pearl or spark silver

carbon pumped guards, re-worked intakes etc

would be nice if you guys can voice your ideas and ill try and include it in the design :happy:

cheers!

nah man, your doing it all wrong!!!

take a daewoo matiz, flare the guards a bit, lower it, tint it, millenium jade body colour, chuck a viper twin turbo v10 (hennessey tuned), 6 spd borg warner transmission, enzo brembos and discs front and rear, titanium exhaust, change rims and tires of your choice - keep rest stock as a rock

now thats a sleeper!!!!

Funny thing is I used to have a Daweoo Maiz Van and I always though it would be an awesome go kart with a BIG engine in the back of it :D

heres the first generation draft of the front

constructive critizism please :)

i know its a bit out of proprtion and wonky but its a draft

its got z-tune style front vents

flared guards

the back will have GT style rear guards

stock wing with a carbon blade

+ heaps heaps more

ill update this thread as i go

are you going to put it into Illustrator and finish on the computer or keep it hand drawn?

if you go hand drawn get yourself a lightbox or just a glass table with lamp underneath... throw some ruled lines on it as well so you get everything straight etc or even trace a pic of an actual R35 and use that as a template

keep laying a new sheet over it and re drawing it, trying different stuff as you go

looking good though, don't forget to try different things and keep all the drafts (they like that, shows how much work you've put in)

maybe try to tuck the spoiler in at the bottom and give it heaps of offset up front so you can see some tyre... R35's can't take much offset up front so I like where your going with the Z tune guards etc... good work, always helps to do projects on stuff your genuinely interested in

thanks guys!

it did come out looking alot better.

ill phtoshop it in the end.

im onto my final draft now.. FOR THE FRONT. i still have the back and sides :P

its got a new carbon lip with R32 GTR style vents in it

it did come out alot better looking then i thought.. mebe nissan can give me a job....

i have exams in 2 weeks

someone help me

yep its definitely getting there... just have a look at the roof line, it needs some smoothing... also might be nice to add some reflection to the windows... put a thick white line through the middle and some warm/earth shades below the line and some cool/sky shades above the line (sorry I couldn't find any examples)

also don't be afraid to really push your shading... work out where your light source is and give the areas in shade a fair bit of darkening... this will give it shape (helping to show the flare on your fenders), especially as you are rendering from side on and not 3/4

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
