Word on the street is Mark is running 2 seconds faster than the GT AUTO car - Awesome effort

Tarzan Yamada Mercury Motorsport Nissan R35 GTR PRO 3 3 1:34.3370

Steve Glenney GT Auto Garage/HKS Aust Nissan R35 GTR PRO 8 8 1:37.8760

Apparently had some oil on the manifold and caught fire. Problem is officials sprayed foam all over it to put out which is a pain cause that stuff is messy. I don't have any more details yet why oil was there or what happened. They are trying to clean it off for the next session so nothing major.

Congrats to Mark and Mercury for the sub 1.35 time. Anything quicker is a bonus.

Cheers

Marty

UPDATE - GT Auto R35 wasn't an oil fire. It was the Fuel Pressure Gauge failed and leaked fuel on the manifold which caught on fire. GT Auto are working hard to clean all the foam up and it will be back out tomorrow as there is no other damage.

Mark / Mercury R35 apparently has had a gearbox problem and loaded on a trailer already. Maybe someone can let us know if they are taking it to a workshop somewhere for repair?

Yes, apparently they are attempting repair tonight.

i see no claws, it begins again tomorrow when both cars belt around the track again, dont forget neither car has had substantual testing so issues are bound to arise with both cars, They have both done very well to make it to Eastern Creek and post fast times. Bring on tomorrow

Also R35's are 1st and 2nd in the clubsprint class ( standardish car on street tyres), ahead of a group of seasoned Evo drivers.

Marek pulled out a 1:42 in the afternoon to grab 1st place.

lol... standardish ??

lol... standardish ??

Mareks car is not far off standard. Mid-pipe, E85 Willall tune (injectors and fuel pump) and some uprated shocks/springs. That's about it. It would be difficult to find many other cars with LESS mods in the class, put it that way.

Anyway this thread is about Marks car, it was great to see it running around out there yesterday and today, well done guys, absolutely fantasic.

was very good to see it in the flesh! no offence intended. but do they make 19's or 20's with rubber available? just looks like the wheels need to be bigger for the bodywork..

No 19 or 20" semis that will do those times, no.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
