I find it hard to believe that you've been able to do so much, basically like rebuild an entire car, in what seems to be a very short time frame.

Car projects seem to take forever, so this must have been very well researched and managed.

Fantastic effort all round, and thanks Mark for sharing.

Good luck next week, and I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

My son will be out there in an STi in the clubsprint class, but you're in another league.

Should be a great event, and hopefully a big crowd.

Hello Brian. When is Jim back and are you going to start some mods on yours yet?

Cheers

Marty

Anyone else notice that it hits 242km/h on the straight!

Yeah I took note of the 220km/h across the line (a good reference point for me).

Regarding the understeer issues - looks to me like it could run a fair chunk more front track under those big guards. But you've prob thought of that. I imagine there is no track width restrictions on WTAC ?

We have only spent 4 months on the car, used over 1200 man hours and many many late nights and weekends to get the car to where it is now. I think the whole Mercury Motorsport team is looking forward to WTAC, so we can have a break from working on Mark's R35! :P

It has been a massive effort and I am extremely proud of the team, including our external contractors, who have pulled of what I think is an amazing build in such a short period of time.

Just thought of something with such wild bodywork, how will you be bringing it down here? Getting it on most normal car trailers would surely be out of the question unless the front and rear bars/aero is designed to come off for transport?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
