awesome work mate. I just found this thread. love the exhaust, it's lovely. :) did the guys at mercury make it or was it done somewhere else?

the car is going to be a major contender at WTAC that's for sure. no doubt about it. :)

Thanks guys.

Baron the biggest problem at wtac will be:

-Lack of testing (we will be finishing the build july!)

-The weight of this big pig ( if we get to 1450kg we will be very happy)

-Tyres- they just don't make semislicks to suit this car as they do the smaller evos etc

We will do our best just the same though

not excuses, just reality of the car in this format. with the right tyres (and driver) I think it would be a top contender

more cage pics.

front strut towing bracing not shown (got to have some secrets)

most components of the cage are tacked together until final inspection and welding/gusseting next week

looks great. My only thought though is shouldnt the sterring wheel and seat be installed to confirm driving position before all the main hoops etc rest in their final spot?

I love hoe this car has gone from mildly tuned to a complete all out build. Cant wait to see it at WTAC

That is a very good point.

they have been trial fitted but removed

we are also fabricating our own steering column to allow a perfect custom fit

don't worry you wont be alone in the lack of testing group! many cars will only be finished in June/July if then!! it seems many of the big boys are joining their own 'team last minute' this year.

as far as weight goes that will be tough but with good aero and power you can still do well at EC. it doesn't punish the heavy cars so much unlike some other tracks as it doesn't have many really sharp changes of direction or lots of bumps etc.

but yeah it will be a challenge but I think if it comes together you will be a serious contender. I hope you're going to drive it too. :) take a leaf out of berry's book and develop yourself with the car. :)

from memory didn't they release some special 20 inch semi slicks (or were they only slicks?) specifically for the R35s?

but yeah only 18inch semis I agree it will be tough. we struggled with grip in berrys 34 only being able to run semis the same width as guys run on evos when we too have a lot more weight and a lot more power.

anyway, I'll be cheering for you mate. :)

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
