Handbrake's R35 Build Part 2

[PHaT MR30]

Sounds great!

[Tangles]

thanks for the video

almost 'underwhelming' in the way it makes peak power.

guess thats testimate to an overall very good build-up!

[Adelaideprosound]

A car built for track racing, its always better to have the power band slightly more linear, not just nothing and then all hell breaks loose. I find that dyno run very nice and i can foresee some great corner exits with the power being delivered nice and smooth rather than ferocious to the point where you have to fight the car with oversteer.

low!

remember kids, smoking kills - don't smoke

dash before instruments go in and before brackets made

Gordo dissecting the wiring harness

Dont let appearances deceive you, his fingers are nimble and quick. I reckon he could have done microsurgery but he chose the more noble art of modifying high performance Japanese cars.

and then below, the throw away bits. more weight savings!

[Mohsen]

please book this in for rego and record the attendants reaction

[Johny Bravo]

haha. Just watched the dyno video, sounds amazing. Almost looks like the bat mobile without all the body work on. Got much left to do?

[Juan_2_3]

loving the build!!! can't wait to see it

What a BEAST

[limitless]

WOW. That sounds awesome. Great job guys. Can't wait to see this on the track.

[Marlin]

Intense Handbrake, intense!

Are you sure you guys haven't actually been building this over the past two years secretly and land this bomb of a build on us now mate?

I'm so looking forward to seeing the big girl in action

long nights and weekends working on the car by all the lads at Mercury. super effort.

still plenty to do!

aim to have the car ready in close to final 'pre WTAC' spec for 26th July.

We have a few test dates prior to that planned at QR and Morgan park where the car will look a bit like frankenstein.

Well, it looks like the effort put in is being reflected in the build. Superb stuff!

And yes, Frankenstein.... been there with Mark a few times!

Thanks for the walk around tour today Mark & the guys @ Mercury, much appreciated especially on a Sunday.

Some serious work going on there, and quite interesting to see how a few things have been approached. Weight stuff was really surprising indeed. Look forward to footage of 4WD power slide burnouts

Great to meet you guys.

Good luck with the test drive!

I am really looking forward to seeing your car at the track on the Nissan & AWD track day. Try not to lap me too often, please!

I absolutely love every aspect of the build. One of my son's who is working towards a mechanical engineering degree is fascinated by this thread.

Just one question. With the insane level of GO, should you maybe fit a similar level of WHOA?

If there was ever an argument for the benefits and safety that Carbon Ceramic discs can offer, your car is it BIG TIME!

Are there 'Carbon Ceramic' front rotors for the GTR and if so, should you fit them?

Have a great day tomorrow and see you on the 26th.
