Very nice!

[mattlikewhoa]

Soooo much win with this build!

[R33_NICK]

nice one mate. your R35 is probably one of the most highly modified GTR in the country. will you still be using it on the road?

[handbrake]

plenty of highly modified R35's out there, just not all have a build thread!

I have a daily driver now that I have 3 kids.

Took a couple of pics of it today @ Lakeside.

Love it! You've done very well for yourself. Goodluck.

wow..

ok, so I know a lot of people are interested in weights.

so far the car will have lost about 125kg with the following mods:

• lightweight fibreglass bucket racing seat, both OEM seats removed
  
• interior including airbags but excluding dash and door cards removed
  
• CF bumper and Aeromotions wing
  
• AP rotors
  
• 18 inch forged wheels and michelin slicks
  

I am hopeful we can find another 100-120 kg to remove before adding the cage.

The Racetech seats were too heavy! when you are chasing weight savings every kg counts.

sent them back for these Carbon beauties from OMP (HTE Carbon series) which are half the weight of the others.

installing tomorrow...

The doors look awesome!!

This car is going to fly

Wondering what torque the car has?

[kessian]

Those mirrors look perfect. Are you going to be going for a bit more power, or just trying to tune your current setup?

[handbrake]

midrange torque and power have improved but I am not sure the top end is that much better off currently, still working on it. Maybe Trent can chime in as I havent seen the latest graphs. who knows, might be a different turbo setup in the future.

doors are for weight savings. going for custom carbon door cards and dash to try and knock off another 60kg. also replacing glass

We have tuned the car to 20psi in the mid range, with boost tapering to 15psi in the last 1000rpm or so. Peak power is ~550hp but the mid range with the Willall turbos is where it is going to be a monster.

another question..

How much are the omp seats and whats their weight? They look quite nice.

I have been looking at some bride seats.. but they are quite expensive

[handbrake]

seats about 5.9kg each from memory.
