Yeah, Duncan (the R35 owner and driver) posted in the R35 forum section about the weekend... 1.7 seconds behind your beast is a phenomenal statement for the R35!!!

ban.

Waiting for pics... Can you please post up the weight of the dampers?

Car looks great mate! A lot further along than mine, but I'll catch up eventually Great work, and I can't wait to see more updates! Shouldn't be long before we see this beast terrorising unsuspecting Porsches on the track

:(

If Roy is a tight-ass, and bnr#@ doesn't reply to your PM within 5 minutes, please feel free to also PM me with a price I'm located in Lane Cove

Jealous much?

I have a CF Cusco one, and it's not as light as a titanium one...

Thanks guys... Ryan, I don't think Greg was taking a swipe at you... He was making a more general comment on retailers who sell DMS shocks without the having the expertise to support what they're selling. I'll keep hunting around until I can find someone who impresses me with their experience and knowledge, and who doesn't try to flog me some off-the-shelf kit for a quick sale. Cheers!

Thanks for the comments guys dazmo - Yeah, I hear ya.... Although I call it my little track bitch, it's a lot more than that to me. fatz - Perhaps when you learn to keep the stupid thing pointed in the right direction and stop with all the ful sik sideways malarkey, we can talk Neil - Yeah, I need to work some kind of false floor in there... I need to weld in another seat rail for the passenger side, so I'll figure this out at the same time. Interested to see what solution you come up to keep Duncy Dinosaur's toes cool!

Spotted today

Anyone know who deals with DMS in Sydney? DMS doesn't list any distributors in Sydney on their website, but I could have sworn I saw a few Sydney suspension shops list DMS on their products pages.... I just can't find them now

Pics of the Mines 320km/h speedo please. Is it for early or late model R32 GTR?

Oh wow!!!! If it was May 5, I would have had it done FOR SURE!!!! But since it's on May 2nd, it won't even be CLOSE to being ready

I don't think we'll ever know, without reverse engineering the bloody thing! I'm willing to lend my unit to anyone who wants to do data logging and analyse it The sparse documentation that comes with the unit didn't go into any kind of detail... It basically said that it takes adjusts the front torque according to cornering (read: lateral signal) g-forces during accelleration (read: longitudinal signal)... So it works on exactly the same principle as the Ruzic (and every other ATESSA controller out there), but it has a fixed application curve. Actually, for all we know, this HKS Kansai unit may alter the shape of the curve depending on the gain setting! Anyway, I guess since I already have it, and I've already installed it, I'll give it a go... If I don't like the way it brings on front torque, then I'll look to jump ship

Just to be clear, I don't have the old HKS ETS units that have been around for donkeys years... I have the HKS Kansai unit. You're correct though, it doesn't allow me to choose the curve of signal alteration like the Ruzic one does... It's hard-coded into the unit with the only control being a gain/potentiometer knob... I'll see how it goes, I would be more convinced by the Ruzic product if I were able to customise the curve, instead of using what are essentially pre-defined curves. How do I know that I wouldn't end up using the same application curve that the HKS Kansai unit gives me?!?!

Didn't get much done this weekend... After struggling for 30 minutes, I realised that I can't get the stock rubber intercooler hoses onto the ARC intercooler pipes. I'll get a hard pipe kit this week and continue... There isn't much left for me to do at this stage. I need to install the remote battery isolator, and finish off the intercooler. Then I have to dust off the wallet and buy the brakes and suspension. <sigh> At this stage, I don't think I'll have it done by May 5

Well... based on this thread, I'll be looking elsewhere for my dog gears!!

The only childish outburst in this thread so far has been the post above. "Blow me stupid boyz"?? There was obviously no drifting happening in the posted video. If you can't agree with the fact that officials seem to have gotten it wrong (for whatever reason), then your opinion is clearly biased by your historical respect for the officials (and so be it)... Video evidence shows that wrxkilla had a valid complaint, which it sounds like he took to the officials, but was met with a dismissive wave.

Have you tried Unique Autosports? They had some sets available late last year...

I'm going to have to chase this up soon... I can't find ANY information about this on the CAMS or RTA websites. Can someone please provide a link? What's the difference between rally rego and circuit rego?

Tell me more? I didn't think that these had to be very complicated devices. They plug straight into the G-Sensor and alter the signal going to the ATESSA computer to increase or decrease front drive..... How much more advanced is this Ruzic controller? They have different part numbers, but I would be surprised if they were technically/electronically different. Are the plugs on the G-Sensor of the R32/R33 the same?

One more piccy of the interior

I finally installed all electronics and put the dashboard back in! - Defi gauges, - Turbosmart eBoost2, - Apexi Turbo Timer (which is annoying me already, I think I'll rip it out). and - HKS Kansai ATESSA controller (which I still need to mount nicely on carbon fibre) There's absolutely NOTHING behind that dash... No aircon piping (which surprising added up to quite a bit of weight), no air con compressor, heater core, pumps.... nothing.... Just white paint and a bare dashboard. The thing still weighs a good 7-8kgs though.... I need to steal Mark's carbon dashboard from this R34
