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...

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
