For the pic go to downshiftaus.com.au and look for the mercury dyno day blog entry. Navigate to the high res image on flickr.

Re: dashboard, will see which pieces survive the development process, then all pieces will be up for grabs

I have Scott Beeton, a former F1 Aerodynamicist working on the design of the aero pieces.

He is currently busy getting the initial geometry prepared for the baseline GTR CFD simulation.

finally got to meet mark today!

after talking to him for abit, i got to say, he is really enjoy doing this.

u can actually feel the excitement from his tone when he's talking about the things they are going to do to his gtr.

Can't wait to see the end result.

And good luck with the Aero pieces.

*in a vin disel voice* not a bad way to spend $150k!!

You sir have just jumped into one of top ten car builds of all time. cudos to taking such a fantastic base and making it even better! Im sure this will stir many jealous souls. the end result should put this car to the standards or if not higher then the infamous mines vehicles.

cant wait to see the results!

please send my condulances to your wallet...but thank it at the same time!!

There's noise restriction on the track!?:blink:

Those pipe look sexy though.

Unfortunatley yes :(

I have to say this is THE only R35 I like anywhere in the world

It has actual development work done and Mr Handbrake doent have the big head of 99% of R35 owners

:D

Yes unfortunately some tracks have noise restrictions, Lakeside is one of them Eric.

Went there last week with the stock exhaust on because of it.

It's better not to have a big head, less chance of looking stupid when you get things wrong.

Unfortunatley yes :(

Mark certainly doesnt have a big head.

But i would say 99% is an very unfair BS generalisation.

How many R35's in the country? 300? i guess only 3 have their head screwed on right.

The rest of us ae dickheads i suppose.

    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.  
    • Dashcams Australia (13/05/25) captured JDMHSE (Vic plate) being a right tosser. 
    • Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
