I heard it (i think)...

and thought to myself, thats an interesting sound...

Was at the servo out the front getting refreshed (coke & choc bar) at the time... Good timing i guess...

Yep that would have been it. We were all down there!

hey mate, nice build, been following it since the beginning.

where did you buy the small battery from and what is the CCA ratings?

cheers

pm Trent from mercury motorsport. Thats one of the parts I wasn't coordinating.

Will require jump starting to preserve battery life though so not for everyone.

It is only 1.8kg though!!

I'm guessing there is no chance we can come check this car out on Sunday hey Mark? I'm flying up to QLD Sat night (home Sunday night) but would loved to have checked it out.

(Am flying up just to have a look at another 35 actually)

Can you take a vid of the Beast on your dyno?

Im sure all who've seen this thread would LOVE to see/hear it spinning up......

450awkw @18psi is a nice result for run-in tune. What awkw figures at what boost are you hoping for?

I want a solid 600awkw 28-30psi , god only knows how I'll cope getting that down on the track in any sensible fashion

to put that in perspective a stock R35 puts out about 270awkw on the mercury dyno dynamics

not sure what it should end up with in dyno queen mode?

600awkw is going to be tricky, you'll most likey increase the speed at which the earth rotates, depending what direction your driving of course. haha. Looking forward to seeing the final dyno result, when do you expect to have that done?

What a great result, we just finished run-in tune, final result was 500.2kw at wheels on 21psi. Now it is back on the hoist finishing installation of the carbon dash, mounting the rear diffuser and getting ready for the track shakedown.

I did get video of the dyno, so I am sure Mark will post up the video shortly.

The entire team at Mercury Motorsport are extremely happy and although exhausted from all the OT, this has spurred us on to continue with our efforts in getting ready for the WTAC.

overtime? whats that?

my toohey's extra dry supply cant keep up with all the overtime lol

seriously though Luke, Gordon and John have all been putting in immense hours to get this car finished. their work ethic and comittment is second to none

It's shown in the pictures, it's amazing how quickly this has progressed and the effort/quality which the boys have put into it. Can't wait to see this thing in action

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
