Suspension components in. getting ready for some more Aero development. limited resources available to develop the front last year. we hope we get more much needed front downforce this year. we had the rear detuned as much as possible due to issues at the front.

the graphic has the strut tower removed for simplicity.

it will go back in as you see in the picture on the previous page. the mount will be a the stock location but will be reinforced and with adjustability for roll cetnre tuning.

next year we may if time adn budget permits go for a compltetre geometry redesign. this year we are more aiming to better tune the suspension.

car is now over with Luke at '4Race' for him to work his magic with composites. aero is still being fine tuned as we speak.

massive amounts of work still to come. we will be cutting it fine again I am afraid but hopefully a few good suspension tuning sessions before we go down this time

still going, but to keep to budget things have been slow.

we won't be at WTAC this year but should have the car up and running for october at the latest and will have the bet part of the year leading up to WTAC 2013 for testing and will be ready to take on the cyber GTR.

the firewall was finished off and the rear guards done.

The final welds are being finished this week and the car will be off to paint very soon.

The extensive carbon body work is underway but it is all custom and slow going to get right.

will certainly have more pictures and information soon!

also working on a new transmission. fingers crossed it all works out. will be big news for R35 fans to have an aftermarket track/drag transmission which is lighter/stronger and retains AWD!

  • 5 weeks later...

firewall and chassis mods finished and primed ready for paint, those who know the front of an R35 will see what we have done...

Wow! That looks great Mark! Looks very professional and well thought. Much in the traditions of V8 supercars (in terms of suspension points triangulation)

Thanks

Ted

    • 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. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
