Have a look at where the marker is on the lap plot in post #14. Like I said it feels a little 'daunting' to drive, but I have some more mods planned this week which should see the car stable at 1.4G continuous through there, and hopefully another 10km/h faster :P

Here is the G-Circle for the car Fungoolie. As you can see it has some grip, but it could be better!

Ahhh, so cute, a heart shaped G plot graph :P))

Since you are getting up to 0.9G in left handers and 1.3ish G in right handers does that mean right handers are on camber, or it simple means that left handers are not suited for faster corner speeds??

You're reading it the wrong way. Acceleration and braking are along the Y axis and lateral acceleration is along the X axis.

Designed up and fabricated a front splitter for the GTR over the past few days. Making it rigid and them mounting it properly to take force across its section was a little harder than first thought, but we have a result that should provide a good aero balance at high speed now :D

Pics later :)

Willall Racing just ran a 1 min 12.19 at Mallala today in their JDM R35 GTR.

Faster than the group A R32 GTR!

Congratulations Keir & Martin. You guys are flying now.

E85 looks like the way to go, when are you going to fit the bigger turbos?

Wish I was there................. oh well. I will keep working.

ha

but there is a massive diffrence to 40 laps at that pace and a one off

agreed - consistent times are much harder than 1 off times BUT i still want an r35 :)

1 day...it is coming

3 sec difference so there isnt much in it

New PB today testing the front Splitter and our new Braking System on the GTR

In 35 degree conditions and on a used tyre set we reset the 1:12.19 to 1:12.10.....very tight.

On a similar day to the first record we could expect to drop that time 0.5 or so. The Mallala 11s are in sight for us soon :down:

  • 2 months later...

In much colder conditions (where we have found it is harder to gain outright tyre grip with the GTR tyre set we use) we upped the ante again today with a 1:11.68 at Mallala, a neat improvement, and with some direction now to start steering the car towards a 1:10 second lap :(

Yes, yes we did run a new tyre set, however we struggle with the GTR in the cold ambients (around 10C taking into account the wind factor today, and track temp under 21C most of the day). Grip is very hard to find in these conditions, we find the GTR likes 32 - 35C ambient with the 60C track temps that it delivers. Its extremely important to set the bump and rebound rates of the suspension correctly to get the tyre working on the track to suit the conditions....we are learning more about the R35 chassis every day :(

Its not surprising that your gtr is quicker in mid 30degree than a much cooler day...it was the same when I was racing bikes, higher temp gave more grip whereas a cooler day gave more power and grip is king on the circuit

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
