handbrake Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 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!

handbrake Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 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!

wht510 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 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 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 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 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 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!

handbrake Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 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!
