Who knows where their going to put a T62R in that engine bay, but if you make enough space I guess where the airbox sits.

I always thought the airbox was overrated any how.

Needs to be rotated 90 degrees, add some creative exhaust manifolds and an inlet track that puts the pod outside the engine bay... then ceramic coat everything!

Would be able to run a radiator and air con then.

I'm more interested in the gearbox. Looks like an R34 GTR box. Not sure what is custom to make it fit, besides the gearbox crossmember?

Also, is the extended sump really necessary on these things, or are they just doing it out of habit/experience with other motors?

The r34 box needs extensive mods to fit Ryan, custom cut and shut bellhousing, major floor pan modification, custom gearbox mounts etc. I would say there is an easy 20k blown there at least.

The extended sump is only needed for the oil return, my car was fine at the track oil pickup wise, so our stock setup works very well.

Didn't look like the bell housing had been cut and shut to my untrained eye though?

Not that I have a trained eye by any stretch, nor do I know the GTR gearbox design.. but is that actually a factor weld?

The best chance we had was the 350z guy who went AWD, he was planning to cad the bellhousing and sell an AWD kit for the 34 box. Costs were too high unfortunately. RWD should be easy with a V35 manual halfcut. Still looking for one though...

Costs to CAD it were too high?

So he didn't finish his AWD conversion, or he did but the kits worked out too expensive?

Hows your conversion going Scott? Thought you'd be doing RWD skids by now...

He finished his, just the parts would cost too much to replicate.

I need to find a V35 halfcut first Ryan, do you have one? :P

(The auto is being strengthened some more, I should have it back on the road next week.)

What do you need off the V35? Do you really need the whole halfcut?

EDIT: Don't we have a thread that we're supposed to discuss this shit in? :P

Hello Gents.

Just so happens I had a little conversation with the Owner of Mercury Motorsport at the SAU nats about this car, and found out some details. I'll read the rest of the thread, since I've been gone and fill in the blanks.

Ok, so, I'll give some general info, because I know the owner still pokes round these parts, so no numbers or anything in his respect.

The owner would like it to be a daily driver, but I think it will turn out a weekend car. He was thinking of going t51, but once the t62 was looked at, change was made.

So, the motor is a crate motor from gtm in the US. Basically mercury told him to "tick every option box" when building the motor. Took 4 months to get here. Cost a lot of money.

We all know about the gearbox. They will use the stock attesa pump system to run the transfer case.

Front and rear diffs are yet to be decided on, but LSDs will be used.

The turbo will sit off custom made exhaust manifolds, point forwards tucked under the front reo. This will require a custom radiator. Owner wants to retain AC, but I think realistically the AC will be deleted.

A new p/s engine mount will be fabricated to clear the manifold, and dump.

Obviously external gate or some kind.

Ecu will be a haltech platinum pro ps2000. Maybe with a custom dash.

Owner bought the intake plenum.

So all in all, this is a serious investment on behalf of the owner. Once the teething issues are sorted out, which there will invariably be, this will represent the craziest M35 worldwide.

I hope the owner doesn't mind me posting, but I think we should all be able to share in his excitement about this build.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
