Massive thanks to Michelin for getting the tyres to me at short notice, and munroman too :) Also Aeromotions too for making such a cool product.

I managed to officially break a new class lap record yesterday; how good is this car?

Duncan Forrest broke the record for Class 4D which was set back in 2005 ... by 1.323 seconds with a time of 1.41.087 in his Nissan GTR.

Awesome result Duncan and great to see another lap record being set by a car with an Aeromotions Dynamic Wing :)

1.323 seconds is a large amount to beat the old record by.

Congratulations !

Hi Mark,

There is a new video here of Mark Berry's Advan / Hi Octane Racing R34 GT-R from the test day we did at Eastern Creek last Wednesday with some in car footage of the R34 and some footage of the Aeromotions Dynamic Wing in action, along with some comments from Mark Berry ... the car is an absolute weapon :blush: ...

There is an article here with photos from the test ...

yea on the video i though it had a big angle on the straight then flipped up flat on the bend

i always though it would be the other way around.. less drag on the striaght

im sure mark will tell us how much its better or how pissed i was when watching the video

The part shown at 3 mins 2 seconds into the video is of the braking area at the end of the straight as the car brakes for turn one, so what you are seeing in the early part of that shot is the wing in the high downforce braking setting.

In the later part of that shot, as Mark then gets off the brakes, the wing flattens out again.

There is another good shot of the wing popping up into the high downforce braking position as the car passes under the bridge at 3 min 57 s.

You can see sequences of the wing flattening into a low drag straightline setting as it comes out of corners and onto straight sections at 4 min 3 s and 4 min 30 s in the video.

Fark me that is moving. Is it the fixed wing or variable one? Also, did you have newer tyres, different wheel alignment, more power/different tune etc. That is a massive gain from just putting on a wing at a slow circuit like Wakefield, espcially over a 62 second lap....are we sure its all down to the wing ?

Tyres are the same but a different/newer set (i have used them for one other track day) so there may be some time there, not sure. The wing is variable/active but i was running it with a very agressive maneuvering angle (probably less than 1* vs braking mode angle) so i dont think the active element played a huge role. Straightaway mode (engaged about 180km/hr+) would not have played a role either, in fact it probably unsettled the car for a fraction given top speed is only 210km/hr there. Next time out i may leave the system fixed at 6*. I dont see there being a huge difference. The bigger question is, did the extra downforce play a role... i think it did. We have data from another r35 on the same day (with stocker wing) and you can see where it comes into play on the charts quite clearly. I think the wing works, who knows perhaps there is a placebo/confidence element, but it certainly feels more planted to me.

edit: otherwise same power/alignment

Marek + 1 = Duncan

Marek - It's me the slow one :D

1:03's = slow?

I was watching some of your laps Marek and i can tell you it's strange seeing such a big car move that fast. Almost like truck racing, your brain doesnt really want to process what it is seeing.

The words "firmly fixed whilst the automobile is in motion" need to be clarified for their exact meaning. We will check with CAMS about this.

Schedule F of the CAMS general requirements for cars and drivers does NOT specifically say "active aero is not allowed" - so we will check with CAMS to check if the meaning of "firmly fixed" simply means something like "securely attached so that aero parts do not fly off the car".

Fixed does not mean attached. Affixed means attached.

Fixed means to remain stationary, immoveable, not subject to change/variation, etc.

So "firmly fixed whilst the automobile is in motion" gives permission to adjust/move the wing only when the car is not in motion.

1.02 at Wakefield and it's so standard?

Really makes you want to stop bothering with the RB based gtr's.

Well done Duncan!

Dont say that mate!

Nothing wrong with wrestling an old godzilla [with 400+kw's] around for an albeit slower but just as/if not more exciting lap! :cool:

Meanwhile back on the ranch.. Congrats on the 1:02. Brilliant result!!!

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
