R35 Build

[handbrake]

Starting the build on my car today with Trent and the boys over at Mercury Motorsport.

The plan is to build a more competitive track car (I have radicals, mad EVO's and porsche cup cars to deal with in the local time attack series, all of which I would like to be nudging a bit harder).

Unlike these cars though I will be driving the R35 to and from work and the track.

Mods coming over the next few weeks include:

Power:

Harman motive intakes and intercooler piping

AMS intercooler

Willall turbo kit

Custom dump pipes and 4 inch exhaust

Walbro fuel pumps

ID 1000cc Inj

Cooling:

CBRD Radiator

Willall oil pan upgrade

Willall Front mount transmission cooler

Suspension:

Custom MCA fully adjustable suspension kit

Hi Octane front upper control arms

Whiteline front and rear sway bars

Wheels and Tyres:

18 x 10 CCW wheels

27/68/18 slicks

Hope to have this ready for next time attack day though I am sure it will be a works in progress for some time to come as we fine tune the setup.

will provide updates as we go

wow that's awesome Mark.

I was looking at your control arms this arvo actually.. you had better get a move on and get them off nathan otherwise they may disappear! they look a trick bit of gear.

looking forward to the progress of your project

edit: you are missing aero!

Hands off Duncan!

As for aero, I have the top racing bumper coming in about a month and the aeromotions wing and seats (to be decided) in July!

[PM-R33]

Ohh nice! Looking forward to watching this thread.

[Col-GTSX]

can i drive?

[Martin Donnon]

Good job handbrake. Welcome to the next level

[handbrake]

Thanks Martin,

Looking forward to getting the oil pan, tranny cooler and the turbos!

[Martin Donnon]

Your parts are in dispatch today I believe

[handbrake]

Thanks Martin. all the parts starting to trickle in.

car pulled apart. fuel pumps going in

Custom exhaust from the turbo back is being fabricated as we speak.

Will inspect the transmission oil pan whilst were doing things.

had a look around under the car yesterday with the boys. damn the stock rear sway bar is thin! whitelines going in front and back though

[handbrake]

Exhaust underway, it's big thats for sure.

I like taking pictures as you can see...

[fireball]

can't wait to see it at the next timeattack! good stuff

[handbrake]

Willall cooling products arrived.

Exhaust coming along nicely, the 4 inch fits like a glove in the stock undertray position. went for a more raw look with the 4 inch piping coming out the back as opposed to any fancy tail pipe work.

will have a variable exhaust with high flow muffler on one side and a straight through valved exit on the other.

Engine out tonight and turbos off to Willall tomorrow.

[SlowSkyline]

just got the same magnaflow muffler on my r33, 4inch in/out sounds horn!

[MercuryMotorsport]

Good thread Mark! We are glad to be a part of the build up! Looking forward to having your car on the dyno with some e85 and custom tuning your Cobb access port.

That exhaust looks unreal. I think I need a moment alone..... lols

[handbrake]

Engine came out without any hassles.

[handbrake]

Turbo's off to Willall in the morning!

[druzilla32]

looks awesome.. the exhaust is beautiful.. should have a nice deep rumble im sure!

[handbrake]

couldn't get the CBRD radiator due to production lead time

PWR however have a local radiator upgrade at a good ol' aussie price!

Looks great, can't wait to see the final results
