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. :)

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
