R35 Build

[Alf]

I've been using a QTP 3.5" valve in my 32 for over a year without any problems.

Makes a big difference in noise reduction and has been handy in the presence of the fuzz and stops the neighbours from whinging.

hasn't arrived yet!

hopefully gets here by Thursday/Friday am

will let you know then

awesome thanks handbrake. really keen to know if this AMS intercooler is all thats its hyped up to be. 09GTR and I are looking at them.

[handbrake]

Pictures don't do the exhaust justice... it is even more beautiful when seen in the metal.

The boys down at Mercury have really done a fantastic job. Cant wait to fire it up.

Control arms on.

Turbos, intercooler piping and intake all arriving tomorrow so engine going back in tomorrow arvo.

MCA suspension and whiteline antiroll bars go on Saturday

Just awesome! I can't wait to see it on the track!

[Martin Donnon]

By the time you read this, and head down to Mercury there should be some hand fettled WR35TT upgraded GTR Turbochargers waiting there for you Mr Handbrake

[handbrake]

Thanks Martin. Great work on the turnaround time. Received Monday, dispatched Wednesday. Awesome.

[handbrake]

Just awesome! I can't wait to see it on the track!

will be good to catch up Stuart.

the car will be without the AMS intercoolers most likely as I doubt they will have arrived. We will be running a pretty conservative tune. Should be fun!

Mark and feedback on the control arms? Would you be the first person to have these installed? Any thoughts on realised camber yet?

[handbrake]

Dunc,

car still up on the hoist. engine going back in today and suspension on saturday so will know more beginning of next week.

These control arms were used by an aussie GTR that visited the Nurburgring i think? though I have only received this info second hand. I am not sure which car they were on though. Maybe someone out there in the SAU motorsport community knows more??

will give a report next week when we have the info for you.

Turbos are back on the engine, which is going back into the car as we speak. All of the hard piping has arrived and is very shiney!

Wow, what a massive day!! Lots of time spent tidying up all of the finishing touches and fitting all the parts that we had purchased for the car. Here are some of what we got done.
