Last Saturday I’ve tested the latest tune from Martin and new brake pads.

I have to say that the Willall tune worked very well. I’ve run the car at Eastern Creek trying to chase time set by LSX-438 (without luck). The tune significantly improved outright performance but at the same time allowed much more throttle control which was lucking in my previous tune. Now I can overcome understeer with throttle without the car attempting to swap ends. Thanks Martin

The MX-72 on the other hand where just OK. Better than stock, no brake fade at all, but the feel was similar to the OEM pads. No noise at all so far. These pads will be fine for road use with occasional track day. It you planning on spending more time on the track you may have to invest in better pads.

I have the new Willall COBB tune as well & it is great. I tracked my R35 today (while I was waiting for my R33 to cool)

& am still finding the standard pads working well (I only do 4-5 flying laps a time) although I am sure it is just a matter

of time till I will need to upgrade them.

I am getting used to a new set of 360mm 6 spot Alcons on the R33 & was amazed how good the R35 pulls up compared

to that. R35 are amazing cars. Drove it out there. Never touched a thing. Has 11000km std Bridgestones. Am only .8 second

behind my race car!!! ( so far - race GTR has lots of sorting)

Good to hear you had success with running our new track tuning strategy Marek. Keeping the GTR chassis balanced at partial throttle is one of the keys to getting these cars to run both quick and consistent at the track, this and keeping boost all the way to redline (for good trap speeds and overtaking power) are the keys to improved lap times :banana:

What other secrets were in the Willall R35 Martin?

Keir did a mighty quick time in the above result.

I have a lot of catching up to do!

Damn money tree...grow grow lol

No real secrets Dan, and suprisingly few mods....

Having said that we are going out again on November 6 and will be reasonably disappointed if we dont bring home a 1:14.XX

I think...with some development....there are 1:13 laps in these cars at Mallala. Time will tell :cool:

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
