That wing mount is totally mint!

The rear-most currently unused mounting holes, are they for additional support if required, or for mounting a low type drag racing spoiler?! (half kidding :P)

its for an adjustable 2nd wing. will hae pics of this soon.

Sure is great having an engineering firm involved heavily in the build when it comes to pieces like the wing mount. Danny from A.D.E has done a great job designing and getting the mount made is such a limited time frame. The upper element is supported via turnbuckles in the center to eliminate the wing flexing down in the middle. Truely is a work of art. The whole car is really.

Edit, added pic.

Sure is. Should be arriving in Sydney today. Didn't end up with sign writing and it's not been tested so will see how it's first shakedown run is on Thursday at the track.

Good luck to all involved.

Thanks Richard. I'll let the boys know. Mind you it looks very menacing with widebody carbon only..........

Here's hoping with over 600kw (800hp) at the wheels the carbon doesn't start flying off it down the straight. It has plenty of power down low (2200rpm) and even more through the top end. Just have to see how much speed the aero takes away.

We know there is no chance of winning the event until it has some more development but it will be good to see what it's like against the Mercury car.

2 workshops within 100m of each other, build two of the best R35 GTRs in the country, then travel over 1000km's to thrash them for 3 days non-stop, against each other and the best time attack cars in the world. LOVING LIFE!!! :D

Life is funny isn't it - Good luck on your end too. Your statement should read as modified above though.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
