WOW

this is one crazy build. all the best for this mate. not that you need it seeing as you have top quality shops doing all the work for you but WOW.

also the pic in your sic...do you have high res pic i could use as my desktop please?

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.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
