Nice looking front bar Mark no doubt would have been pretty savage on the bank account although you often get what you pay for. Will be interesting to see how much quicker you can go with some more power and a bit of suspension tuning. I think you might have your work cut out for you trying to better the cup cars time though the thing went quicker again last track day now lapping 54.3. Certainly will be good to watch you have a crack at it though.

sure will be tough but I cant wait to give it a crack! If you don't set your targets high you will always underachieve.

I really need to be sensible about it though, as an inexperienced driver, this thing is now capable of biting me in the arse.

We were running a tune with 535hp, conservative as the guys had literally just finished putting the car together the previous day.

There is a list of mods at the start of the thread, though we used a different radiator (PWR rather than the CBRD)

Hopefully will run about 600hp next time out.

thats awesome.. 54's next time maybe :(

also been wondering, how hard is it to adjust front camber with the hi octane items and how much did they cost.

I dont like the kit i have at the moment as its difficult to change from street to track, then back again.

Best chat to Trent and the guys at mercury. I haven't seen them set the camber in person.

We haven't fully tuned the suspension yet, and went out last time with some rough adjustments. Will have it sorted for the next outing.

The high octane setup is expensive. What control arms did you go with?

Darren, the bumper was actually very reasonably priced. It cost less than many front lip spoilers on there own. It will require some mucking around though when fitting to reposition the coolers to fit perfectly and maximize the use of the cooling ducts/cutouts.

Mark,

Bring your car to Drive Bathurst in November... At least on the mountain you will get to unleash all the cars potential.

Im sure doing 55's around QLD raceway is awesome BUT

Just imagine doing 2.20 - 2.30 min laps around Bathurst...

the beast should be there too....300kph here we come....

We would definitely crew for you Mark if you want to go!!

Now we are talking.

Easy - truck the car to Bathurst with Toll Logistics and fly down to Bathurst.

Will be the best 2 days driving of your life guaranteed.

Given we are there 5 days Im having 1000 litres of E85 delivered to the track for 09GTR and myself.

Would be easy to bring you in on this...

You will get to do approx 70-80 laps over 2 days.

so the the guys at mercury started fitting the bumper today. it was a real bitch to fit, not an oem-like fit thats for sure.

managed to get it to line up well in most paces with a lot of swearing, though the fitment at the side indicators is a problem we are yet to solve. fitment at the cooling plate under the hood is a little off also. I will be in correspondence with top racing in the morning to see if there is anything they recommend.

still haven't fitted the air scoops and deflector at the intercooler opening.

sounds like there night be a fix for the fitment issue.

top racing and their manufacturer carbon weave have personally called me 3 times thisafternoon and sent about 4 emails to get on top of the problem. seem very keen to be helpful.

will keep you posted...

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
