is it heavier in the back than the front? is that why you reversed it on the trailer?

It is actually the only way the car will fit!! It is too wide at the front to get onto the trailer. With all of the tools/gear loaded onto the trailer and with the rear mounted gearbox, the trailer is very well balanced in this configuration.

Its very hard to have expectations, but we would like to be sub 1:33's but we have zero experience at EC with this car. I guess that is half the fun! :)

1:33 is seriously quick & in fact quicker than aust superbike class :)

do u plan to take it to wakefield as well?

Being Brisbane based, it is hard to travel interstate to track days, especially as Mark (the owner of the car), is VERY busy professionally and has 3 kids to boot. I think we were lucky to get him out of Brisbane for WTAC!

yeah it's impossible to predict times for a first event of a car. I'm sure they'll just be happy if it runs cleanly and comes back with some good data on where to go from here. it could do a flat 30 or it could be a flat 40.... only one way to find that out. :)

I would pay good money for it to do a flat 30! Might be necking myself if it does a flat 40!!! :P

Below is the results from last year so will be interesting to say the least. There were some big names in the 1:35 plus area so only time will tell.

i have been told when loading a car onto a trailer not to put it backwards.

due to 80% of the weight being behind the axle.

other than that epic, and i cant wait to make the trip over there tomorrow!!

R35 is a bit different to most cars. particularly a track R35. don't forget they have a transaxle so lots of weight in the rear and consequently less weight up front. and don't forget they balanced it further with tools etc. but the point is if the car only fits backwards, you put it on backwards.. I don't think driving it to sydney was an option...

agreed. I reckon if they break a 35 for their first big event that will be a massive achievement. anything past that is gravy. hell under a 40 is a big effort.

Given both cars (R35's) are basically just built and untested if they can beat the High Octane R32 they will be doing very very well IMO.

Both these cars are amazing bits of gear - but I think they will still need a few more miles under their belts - and a bit more tweaking - before their true potential can be realized. I don't think bolting them together and just doing 1-2 days testing will quite get them there yet.

But anything under a 1.40 will be a really great effort.

No doubt this year will be a massive learning year for them both - and look out seriously for them in 2012.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
