handbrake Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 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.

Roy Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Nice work...What are the plans for the upper arm? Are you using std geometry just with new picks ups due to the tubular fromt end or are you changing the arm lengths, points, geometry ... the whole show?

handbrake Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 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.

handbrake Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/360166-handbrakes-r35-build-part-2/page/37/#findComment-6257457 Share on other sites More sharing options...

handbrake Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 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!

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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/360166-handbrakes-r35-build-part-2/page/37/#findComment-6474033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
