the boys have made some trolleys seeing as the car will be without a front or rear end for some time

going up tomorrow to see the boys.

Will be there to look at ur naked beast

[g35me]

Are you thinking of selling any of these parts? I wouldn't mind getting the padded bit with the 2 airvents that goes above the glove box lid in this pic.

[domino_z]

[ashneel]

WOW

this is one crazy build. all the best for this mate. not that you need it seeing as you have top quality shops doing all the work for you but WOW.

also the pic in your sic...do you have high res pic i could use as my desktop please?

[handbrake]

For the pic go to downshiftaus.com.au and look for the mercury dyno day blog entry. Navigate to the high res image on flickr.

Re: dashboard, will see which pieces survive the development process, then all pieces will be up for grabs

[handbrake]

I have Scott Beeton, a former F1 Aerodynamicist working on the design of the aero pieces.

He is currently busy getting the initial geometry prepared for the baseline GTR CFD simulation.

[fireboy]

finally got to meet mark today!

after talking to him for abit, i got to say, he is really enjoy doing this.

u can actually feel the excitement from his tone when he's talking about the things they are going to do to his gtr.

Can't wait to see the end result.

And good luck with the Aero pieces.

[GODZILLA-GTR]

Thank god i stumbled across this! oh my god, keep the pictures coming

[handbrake]

'catback' sorry for the crappy phone pics. better pics with the install coming

[natett]

*in a vin disel voice* not a bad way to spend $150k!!

You sir have just jumped into one of top ten car builds of all time. cudos to taking such a fantastic base and making it even better! Im sure this will stir many jealous souls. the end result should put this car to the standards or if not higher then the infamous mines vehicles.

cant wait to see the results!

please send my condulances to your wallet...but thank it at the same time!!

[levinboy]

amazed your photos are allowed on this site!!!!

PURE PORNOGRAPHY

[PHaT MR30]

Wow! Those welds are beautiful!

[Sunkist]

'catback' sorry for the crappy phone pics. better pics with the install coming

whoever does your exhaust's must spend shit load of time on these!

V bands FTW

[handbrake]

4 inch titanium exhaust ready

we will probably run without the flex pipes and have another midsection without the muffler for the various tracks and noise restrictions

[fireboy]

tracks and noise restrictions

There's noise restriction on the track!?

Those pipe look sexy though.

[zebra]

There's noise restriction on the track!?

Those pipe look sexy though.

Unfortunatley yes

I have to say this is THE only R35 I like anywhere in the world

It has actual development work done and Mr Handbrake doent have the big head of 99% of R35 owners

[handbrake]

There's noise restriction on the track!?

Yes unfortunately some tracks have noise restrictions, Lakeside is one of them Eric.

Went there last week with the stock exhaust on because of it.

Mr Handbrake doent have the big head of 99% of R35 owners

It's better not to have a big head, less chance of looking stupid when you get things wrong.

Mark certainly doesnt have a big head.

But i would say 99% is an very unfair BS generalisation.

How many R35's in the country? 300? i guess only 3 have their head screwed on right.

The rest of us ae dickheads i suppose.
