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.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
