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

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
