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?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
