Time for an update on this one. A great example of a car thats driven rather than garaged the SlipR35 has been out and about so far this year and with some exception all round results. The highlight of which was the outright P1 at Mt Alma Mile the fastest and most hotly contested hillclimb on this side of the nation

Several Time Attacks finishing in the Top 5 (on radials) and slick shod 12 second laps of Mallala all show how good this car is, particularly it has a new carbon set of skins on it - rear bar, front bar, bonnet, fenders, doors...its got the lot

Working out hard this weekend as course car at the Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally...and looking dirty, like a properly used GTR

And there goes ALL the silver..........It was only a matter of time

for the CARBON KING!!!

Why'd you go for the optional super silver when you bought the car Seb? :nyaanyaa:

Oh and it was more impressive watching your loosely termed "course car" tearing up wickhams hill than 90% of the competitors!

Was good to see you Dave. That was a fun stage with some tight hairpins and quite a bit of loose gravel all over the road for the first few k's. GTR went well all weekend and never missed a beat.

I think Seb was just trying to put a price on Carbon..... :cheers::worship:

Fungoolie, show us the vids please, thanks, ta :)

Sorry Martin, I left the vid camera behind and my phone was nearly dead. As they say in the classics...Spewin'....:spank:

awesome build guys. so many nice features on the car, I have to say I LOVED the first colour scheme with the silver/stripes look. very cool. love the side stripe that starts from the front guard vent. very cool build and good to see you out there piloting the thing Slip. it's a beautiful car.

Off with the Tarmac Rally hat, and back into the Circuit suit

Carbon King is ready to go again at Time Attack Round 3 in two weeks time :)

Its no dyno queen :cheers:

this is my band, sexual chocolate!

With reports of bent rods occurring in GTR's with around 700+ AWHP it's time to upgrade the engine internals and step it up a level to get some more reliability at higher horsepower. A new AMS Alpha 10 VR38 race engine is on the way. The AMS kits have been proven to give reliable low 9 sec passes with around 1,000+ AWHP: AMS Alpha 10 info link

The AMS Alpha 10 engine kit will include some optional gear such as block strengthening and the AMS spece CNC machined heads with upgraded cams, list below:

AMS spec machined crank

AMS Spec machined shortblock

AMS Spec JE Pistons

AMS Extreme duty Rods (Manlet manufactured)

AMS CNC machined head cases

AMS alpha spec kelford cams

Ferrea Comeptition Plus +1mm intake valves

Ferrea Competition Plus +1mm exhaust valves

Ferrea dual valve springs and titanium retainers (including Ferrea seat locators, valve locks and valve guides)

AMS Spec head studs

AMS Engine block strengthening

AMS 90mm catless downpipes

AMS Intercooler

AMS intercooler piping

AMS Fuel Rails

Injector Dynamic 2000cc injectors

Forge Motorsport wastegate actuators

Gotboost 3" intake pipes

Custom MAFless speed density Cobb tune by Willall

The trans and cooling mods capable of handling the increased power are already in place with all of the Willall gear.

The current spec for the rest of the car is:

Willall items:

There's also a nice new dual axle Nevco trailer coming to carry all this around:

Pics will be posted.

    • Is there a diameter difference in the stock to Nismo? If so, the weight alone won't be indicative when comparing flywheels of the same diameter, since the radius of the flywheel acts on the moment of inertia with a square factor, where as mass is linear. Roughly going from a 4.5kg flywheel with radius 20cm, to a 9kg flywheel with radius 14cm would see them act the same. This calc is just here to act as a brief numbers comparison and reflects no actual RB flywheel diameters etc. it also assumes even weight distribution (thickness) throughout.
    • It seems this could be due to a restructure/team direction change... Or... You're working with a different category of vehicle... Or you've decided you'd rather be able to play with your own cars again...   I'm hoping the latter...
    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.
