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.

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:

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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
