Suspension components in. getting ready for some more Aero development. limited resources available to develop the front last year. we hope we get more much needed front downforce this year. we had the rear detuned as much as possible due to issues at the front.

the graphic has the strut tower removed for simplicity.

it will go back in as you see in the picture on the previous page. the mount will be a the stock location but will be reinforced and with adjustability for roll cetnre tuning.

next year we may if time adn budget permits go for a compltetre geometry redesign. this year we are more aiming to better tune the suspension.

car is now over with Luke at '4Race' for him to work his magic with composites. aero is still being fine tuned as we speak.

massive amounts of work still to come. we will be cutting it fine again I am afraid but hopefully a few good suspension tuning sessions before we go down this time

still going, but to keep to budget things have been slow.

we won't be at WTAC this year but should have the car up and running for october at the latest and will have the bet part of the year leading up to WTAC 2013 for testing and will be ready to take on the cyber GTR.

the firewall was finished off and the rear guards done.

The final welds are being finished this week and the car will be off to paint very soon.

The extensive carbon body work is underway but it is all custom and slow going to get right.

will certainly have more pictures and information soon!

also working on a new transmission. fingers crossed it all works out. will be big news for R35 fans to have an aftermarket track/drag transmission which is lighter/stronger and retains AWD!

  • 5 weeks later...

firewall and chassis mods finished and primed ready for paint, those who know the front of an R35 will see what we have done...

Wow! That looks great Mark! Looks very professional and well thought. Much in the traditions of V8 supercars (in terms of suspension points triangulation)

Thanks

Ted

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
