Yeah there's not much more available on the normal cyclic data from the TCM than what I gave Lee, but I've got a list of other (more useful) channels I should be able to pick up, just need time to test it! I'll see if I can find time to do the work in the next week.

Cheers.

The other big issue we have faced with the car to date has been brake temps. To date there are no real brake ducting solutions available for the R35 so the boys at Racepace have come together with the

A couple of updates. Door's were finished with some bracing to hold the windows and mirrors in place.

Also the intake side of the brake coolers have been done. Really this was a test set-up and we'll make a nicer more permanent solution now that we know that the concept is sound. Definitely we have improved the temps of the rotors - however the first race at Sandown last week showed that 10 laps was now overheating calipers / boiling fluids. So the next step will be in looking into what we can do to assist with that.

More to come soon including more work at weight saving and working on improving front end grip.

Yep - got a chance to race in the Radical Australia Cup next year with Adam Newton and so thought a new challenge sounded exciting. Hopefully someone will pick this up and runs with it as I think it will be damn good thing as a Sports Car.

Yeah we had our first test day yesterday and were miles off the pace. It's going to be a real challenge for both of us to get there.

Neither of us could go flat through turn 1 even though we know the car is capable. Brain just doesn't compute that it can do it and so makes the leg lift off the loud pedal still.

And we also both had some big off's yesterday as well so we have a lot to learn. But I'm excited to do something completely new.

The blue car below is the car we'll be running in next year.

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.

      Asking where to source parts

      By winc · Posted

      Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      Oh dear. That's um. There's like. Um. a lot of bare wires there. Take the whole thing out. Something is very very shorted somewhere. IT IS NOT CAUSED BY THAT "RELAY" (assuming it is a relay).

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Hey all. Had a bit of a scare today with my R34 GTT when i flicked on the tail/parker lights, and  some wiring started going up in smoke under the dash. The fuse didnt blow, it just melted the casing of the fuse so must have been a crap fuse? Previous owner did alot of wiring, some of which is quite sub par and the fuse that melted was definitely newer than the other ones that were in the fuse box, but didnt seem that he touched the wires that mainly got melted. Anyway may need a small section of a new loom, is there lots of similarities between the turbo and non turbo looms especially for under the dash stuff? The wired that got friend go into a 6 pin relay under the dash. The non turbo ones are less than half the price here from a wrecker and all i would need it the section that got fried and any other wires that are affected.  Thanks in advance
