posted this in the Ruzic time attack thread (motorsport section) but thought I'd post here for you R35 nut-heads.

I was slow as! I had never driven in the wet on track before, new-found respect for all those targa guys...

Nice video Mark,

It was interesting in the wet today - my 1st wet session. Its all good experience, so long as we keep it from hitting the wall. (Not all on the day were able to drive there car home today.)

It was such a tease - only one session in the AM on new slicks before the rain.

Many decided to call it a day after the 1st pm session, but I do wish i stayed out all day.

Just a pic of Mark on the straight:

thanks Bill. yes there was plenty of stoppages with cars coming off turn 1. One guy didnt leave the track looking too good unfortunately.

heres a shot of the R35 with the Mercury Nitto R34

too wet for me to handle.. I was on my way there but did a U-turn after calling QR.

Nice video though, sounds awesome when traction is lost!

Much louder without the carpet etc.?

yeah Drew its quite loud, I love the raw sound of the car inside now. turning around was a smart idea!

great day for racing at QR... the rain really tests all aspects...

love the video work, that software really makes it watchable and very interesting...

wish i was not stuck behind my desk today, would have loved to come out and watch...

ill be at the next lakeside event to catch up with everyone... Holidays woo hoo...

top stuff mark

pretty sure it is working, I had it in race mode which is pretty lenient. the car has more power than stock.

I am not sure how the Vbox interacts with the CAN bus but it is the same in the dry. the way the throttle pressure runs from 0-100% doesnt appear linear on the display versus what I modulate with the pedal in real time.

Understood mate.

If it really is obtaining more throttle than the V-box indicates then I could understand, but, I'd be looking to ensure it's not in Limp, they revert to RWD if so.

Edit; To qualify, I know you know, not being a smarty.

sure will be keeping an eye on it but I think it might just be power delivery. I probably should have been shifting at lower rpm's to be honest.

I will connect the COBB access port and download the codes to see if there are any transmission errors

never thought it for a second, I appreciate the constructive comments

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
