R35 Build

[Chris Rogers]

Yes but I am very choosy with my clientele Trent.

indeed!

this thing sounds horn! I'm not game to nail it but I can say that by the sound it has it WILL go.

those that have seen it would have noted the camera setup. I had a problem to sort on that this morning.

Thanks chris, the setup is awesome. I can't wait to see the fine tuning.

For those that don't know I got Chris to hook up my video box system and output it to the multifunction display. Works really well and is quite practical for car setup/monitoring at the track.

All the wiring and cameras have been nicely installed and wiring hidden so there is no fuss when heading out to the track or running it on the street.

Currently in hospital with wife for the birth of my 3rd kid and only son (he is a little champ!) so won't be till early august that I get the car back out on the track with some more tweaks, can't wait!

Haha! Will have to wait until august Noel. Hopefully we can smash the Porsche cup car times then! Look forward to catching up mate.

ok, the car weighs in pretty hefty but htat won't suprise anyone.

1734kg without driver, empty tank and without the rear wing (Aeromotions R2.two about to be installed). this is with the 20 inch HRE's and Bridgstones on them, they are about 0.5-1.0kg per corner lighter than stock.

will see how we go over the few months getting some weight off it!

Congrats on the new bub Mark!

Where abouts are you going to start in getting weight out of the R35? Stripping the interior? getting a Lighter Battery? Driver loosing weight?

[handbrake]

thanks!

as for what we will be looking to do:

wheels and tyres (track setup already inplace but the above weight is with the street wheels)

seats (remove passenger seat, racetech bucket seat for driver)

Battery

surge tank (purpose two fold - we maxed out the walbro's and allows running less fuel)

stereo, interior trim, carpets

track exhaust setup

CF panels (as the budget allows)

then maybe other creature comforts/doors/dash and sound deadening if I can make the tough decision to go mental or not on such a nice car.

[handbrake]

first of the CF pieces arriving!

couldnt resist posting this little iphone pic from Trent. thanks for picking it up mate!

[levinboy]

Congrats on the new bub mate!!

Love your car great work to you and the guys at mercury

I love the look of that front bar so hot!!!

[druzilla32]

front bar looks awesoem mate. cant wait to see it on!

[handbrake]

should have it on for the next Ruzic track day at QR Drew.

[Duncan]

jeebus. they go OK for a whale.

no-one should ever pick on an r33 or z32 again!

[Beer Baron]

front bar looks mean!! love it.

driver will be losing some weight too. about 5kg of sympathy weight gain during the wife's recent pregnancy.

5kg off me probably saves me about $5,000 worth of carbon fibre!

[West]

Insane, subcribed!

HAhahaha. Too true.

Just loose it with cycling so you have a lower centre of gravity

[vuongster]

Holy, I would be happy enough just to own a stock one let alone build one up like this!

[handbrake]

the quality of the bumper looks fantastic, and it definitely looks tough. will see how fitment goes. nice pics showing the ducting either sode of intercooler iopening. hopefully we can make use of these though I suspect things will be tight back there once on!
