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.

    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate 
    • He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.
    • Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
    • Got my 34 gtt tuned last week. Car made 362 wheel horsepower at 19 psi. Turbo was the ATR43SS. Only other upgrades were haltech 2000 series. 650cc injectors, walbro 250, fmic. Pro hub dyno reads 6% lower than actual figure according to my tuner. Car is a real ripper now.  IMG_7261.mov
    • Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone in Melbourne (preferably West) has a non-S2 R34 front bar. If it's already off the car, even better!  Nothing too weird, I just need to get a cut-out of the hole that the front indicators clip into 🤣 (image attached for reference)   I've got a front bar from JSAI Aero, but those holes need to be cut myself, and I want to get it right so the indicators will clip securely. And my OEM bumper is a S2, so I have no reference. So looking for a member who might be able to spare me a few minutes to make a cardboard cut-out using your front bar.
