Great to see it out and about.

BTW - Where did you get the seats from?

Cheers.

Hi Dallas,

i bought the seats from my supplier MVP motorsport in the US. tried dealing with sparco Australia but had no luck so i sent my money to the US haha

Concidering the price difference, would I buy a new GTR R35 or build something to your standard ? I'll build a car like yours any day. Congratulations. Very rarely do I make comment on other peoples cars as it is so subjective to taste. You sir have done well. I am not going to tell you what to change or even suggest, but my own taste would lean towards a tougher set of very light weight deep dish wheels. But that's just me. I don't like chrome. Normally I would not go for grey or charcoal but the Supra shape needs that sophistication as it looks more Porsche like.

thanks for the kind words mate. the wheels are light weight polished billet wheels not chrome. i didnt want to much dish as it takes away from that "stock" appeal. they do have nearly 5" dish on the rear too haha

Its been awhile. ive recently changed back to the clutch fan as thermos just werent up to the task in traffic driving. i also installed a race port BOV to help prevent a bent turbine shaft later on. Now its driving time to tweak any minor issues. here are a couple pics i took this weekend

It's 2:40 am and i couldn't keep my eyes off this thread! Your car is amazing i love it. You may have changed my mind from getting another skyline to a supra lucky i have a close friend with one he will sell for 5 G with 35r and fried rings might look into it as its been sitting for a couple of years in his shed.

well its been awhile since I've udated this as nothing has really happened. the car goes out each weekend with lots of thumbs up along the streets from people including a guy in a Ferrari WOOT haha. Im glad i have the plastic mvp lip as bumps and a low front is painful with gutters ;) the underside has been given a rough time thats for sure.

I drove to Sydney last month for some 400m action. I babied the crap out of the car with terrible 60fts (2.4 was my best) and slow ETs due to the auto TT diff and needing 5th to cross the line. best time for the night was 13.2 which is crap but was a lot of fun. Im going back up in May with the same setup and bigger balls of the line to see what i can do with 19" street tyres before i put MT street and 16" wheels on the back.

here are a couple pics from the drags

The parts will be going to High Octane Coatings to be covered in high temp black ceramic. the dump and wastegate tube will be further wrapped in titanium heat wrap material. Manifold will be treated to a heat shield as well.

Ive got a couple more parts to polish ready for a show in 2 weeks here in canberra.

Im putting my CAMS licence appilcation in early next week so i can also enter the car in a few events such as motorkahna and hill climbs etc My first Kahna will be in April which should be fun!

Nothing much to report. went to the Temora 1000 and made the top 20 which was pretty good. beat the gallardo so i achieved my goal haha the R35 were just incrediable considering they all had very few modifications!

so last minute change of plans has made decide against installing the diff before temora 1000 this weekend.

those parts with a few others will go on in search for ending this year with an 11 at the drags! but i think it'll still be wishful thinking!

Im hoping my new tyres will help me get some traction too

couple more pics to get the feeling of their girth

had the new tyres fitted for temora last weekend. they worked a treat. had some small problems fitting them at first due to the original ride height and now much larger tyre profile.

considering how loose the surface was i was only loosing traction on the launch.

all in all it performed reasonably well for an out right street car that drove to and from the event. my rotors have a nice blue tinge to them now but ive already started lists for what needs to be done for next year! best time was 23.42 and top speed i believe was 238.9km/h but i havent seen the last runs results yet.

most of the piping is from my greddy intercooler kit.

one pipe was changed here in canberra. i believe ESP used Rick from Powermaxx or possibly Custom fabrications in Queanbeyan (near All Points glass and the RTA)

i need to clean that pipe up and also replace the blue silicon join to black .

All this may change if i look at swapping the gt42r for a new precision billet 6766 turbo. for now i need to put my bigger diff in and get back to the drags to try squeeze and 11 out of the whale haha

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
