Great to meet you guys.

Test day tomorrow, hoping things run smoothly!

Yeah it was great and again much appreciated. We learnt a lot and have a list of things we want to look at ourselves now going forwards.

Good luck today and we look forwards to hearing the results. Remember - double undies! :)

certainly different, it has been a while.

but what was really good going back to them was getting back the feeling of just how progressive they are. the slicks are more violent when they they let go and more difficult to reign in on occasion. the semi's give you plenty of time to react by comparison

4 wheel drifting was on for young and old!

nice one! car looks good and very pleased it passed track test no 1.

kymbo, I wouldn't bother with carbon ceramics. they are more suited to road/track cars. for a full on track car much better to go straight to carbon/carbon. with carbon rotors and carbon pads. very hardcore though and need callipers to suit etc.

with the reduction in weight this car has undergone factory 380mm R35 set-up is probably suitable or maybe a small upgrade but still with traditional cast iron rotors etc.

another test session out at QR today with a few bugs in the drive train and engine ironed out.

will get some in car footage to give you all an appreciation of just how this car feels.

Will not on track though until later in the month when we should have all the final exterior panels and aero on the car and painted.

So you've found a driver?

Just stumbled across that and was about to post myself.

Actually thought you might have somehow managed to get him as a driver when you hinted someone small and that had a bit of time driving at eastern creek.

Should be good to watch, that's for sure!

haha

although I cant say right this moment it may get even more interesting than that.

stay tuned :whistling:

here you go Fatz, some perspective of where the car is at currently

1:20 national circuit at QR

on run in tune, 70% throttle, half the body panels absent, no aero whatsoever on standard nissan pads and used RE55 rubber no wheel alignment with god only knows what toe angles present. felt like we were coasting.

previously full blat on slicks with suspension aero and brakes sorted 1:17's

I hope you have further updates on when the aero is due to arrive mate?

Looks like I've bought the toy I was up there looking at on the weekend so I might try and get to the Nissan day on the 26th with you all before bringing it home.

Snowy, great news.

would be good to see you out at the nissan event. its a fun day despite QR not being the most impressive of circuits.

It sounds like the GT auto garage R35 will also be out there that day

Did you buy Mr Berry's R35 Andrew?

Mark - It will be more than interesting to see how the 2 different appoaches end up at the track. It's amazing that 2 workshops that are vertually back to back to each other have such similar projects happening.

Hope your Carbon guy comes through on time..........

Cheers

yep will be fun battling with Drew out there!

As you can see with that last pic of the car, we are really hoping the carbon parts are sorted on time ourselves. The car was literally floating down the straights the other day, scary stuff.

    • 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)
