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.

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!

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? :P

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! :P

make sure you post the details as if im not doing anything would love to venture out for a looksies

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

:thumbsup:

how did the shake down go Mark?

any in car footage to be had as yet, or is it under cover for :ninja: reasons...

Didn't happen - tomorrow it'll be out Mark said today :D

Great to meet you guys.

Test day tomorrow, hoping things run smoothly!

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.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
