[zebra]

ok maybe 4 or 5...Ill be generous

[handbrake]

Manage to catch up reasonably regularly with at least 8 members with R35's on this forum. all top blokes.

Speaking of which Duncan, I am looking forward to catching up at superlap (and any other SAUer's there. as I dont know many of you please come up and say hi).

[handbrake]

the boys are at mercury are taking my endless requests for weight savings seriously lol

[zebra]

Still has glass....GET RID OF IT!

lol

[druzilla32]

Hell yeah! Looking good.. Love the exhaust welds

[PIG747]

This car is off tap

I'd love to see a timeline from time of purchase to current state because you don't tend to leave things the same for to long lol

[iplen]

I want to see video of driving it in to Nissan for a "pre track" inspection and saying "it's just got a motec exhaust"

[fireboy]

Unfortunatley yes

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.

Noise restriction and fast car.... i don't see where this is going...

But Mark, I've listen to the sound of your car once at Mercury, and that just sounds like a machine gun with unlimited rounds of bullets.

Would love to listen it going through a raceway someday

^+1

Should have plastic windows on it

[handbrake]

Don't worry guys, it's going.

[ashneel]

silly question regarding the exhaust.

the rear section that has the Tips on it, why does one side have a muffler but no the other? wouldnt htis sound different and flow different? im sure what you have done is right and im just a retard lol but just wondering.

I want to see video of driving it in to Nissan for a "pre track" inspection and saying "it's just got a motec exhaust"

Or demonstrating to Nissan that some mods CAN actually make the car go faster contrary to the line they constantly push that there is no point in modding it....

[handbrake]

straight through section for maximum flow, valve shuts it off when I am on tracks with noise restrictions

because of the underbody tray covering the rear section (in its current form) it is a bit of a pain to just swap exhausts so this is the best option

[EMPIRE AERO]

coming along nicely.. what type of valve are u using / have made to shut the noise down? wont it affect performance if that restriction is in place?

[handbrake]

we only have it shut when it is required. sure performance is down but I would rather drive on a good track that has noise restrictions and with 20 hp less than not at all.

[Nee-san]

Lakeside is worth losing 20hp for, especially over QR.

Handbrake,

What sort of valve do you use to switch between the two ?

[handbrake]

no valve currently as test fitting, just a steel plate.

QTP is the valve though

[hksgtrpwr]

This is just amazing well done to all involved. Keep the updates coming!

[handbrake]

the boys from Justjap in Sydney and Dodson are getting started on the transmission today:

[lidz]

fantastic build! Any info on the widebody though?
