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

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
