For the pic go to downshiftaus.com.au and look for the mercury dyno day blog entry. Navigate to the high res image on flickr.

Re: dashboard, will see which pieces survive the development process, then all pieces will be up for grabs

I have Scott Beeton, a former F1 Aerodynamicist working on the design of the aero pieces.

He is currently busy getting the initial geometry prepared for the baseline GTR CFD simulation.

finally got to meet mark today!

after talking to him for abit, i got to say, he is really enjoy doing this.

u can actually feel the excitement from his tone when he's talking about the things they are going to do to his gtr.

Can't wait to see the end result.

And good luck with the Aero pieces.

*in a vin disel voice* not a bad way to spend $150k!!

You sir have just jumped into one of top ten car builds of all time. cudos to taking such a fantastic base and making it even better! Im sure this will stir many jealous souls. the end result should put this car to the standards or if not higher then the infamous mines vehicles.

cant wait to see the results!

please send my condulances to your wallet...but thank it at the same time!!

There's noise restriction on the track!?:blink:

Those pipe look sexy though.

Unfortunatley yes :(

I have to say this is THE only R35 I like anywhere in the world

It has actual development work done and Mr Handbrake doent have the big head of 99% of R35 owners

:D

Yes unfortunately some tracks have noise restrictions, Lakeside is one of them Eric.

Went there last week with the stock exhaust on because of it.

It's better not to have a big head, less chance of looking stupid when you get things wrong.

Unfortunatley yes :(

Mark certainly doesnt have a big head.

But i would say 99% is an very unfair BS generalisation.

How many R35's in the country? 300? i guess only 3 have their head screwed on right.

The rest of us ae dickheads i suppose.

    • Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.
    • So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?
    • This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...
    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
