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.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
