WOW

this is one crazy build. all the best for this mate. not that you need it seeing as you have top quality shops doing all the work for you but WOW.

also the pic in your sic...do you have high res pic i could use as my desktop please?

For the pic go to downshiftaus.com.au and look for the mercury dyno day blog entry. Navigate to the high res image on flickr.

Re: dashboard, will see which pieces survive the development process, then all pieces will be up for grabs

I have Scott Beeton, a former F1 Aerodynamicist working on the design of the aero pieces.

He is currently busy getting the initial geometry prepared for the baseline GTR CFD simulation.

finally got to meet mark today!

after talking to him for abit, i got to say, he is really enjoy doing this.

u can actually feel the excitement from his tone when he's talking about the things they are going to do to his gtr.

Can't wait to see the end result.

And good luck with the Aero pieces.

*in a vin disel voice* not a bad way to spend $150k!!

You sir have just jumped into one of top ten car builds of all time. cudos to taking such a fantastic base and making it even better! Im sure this will stir many jealous souls. the end result should put this car to the standards or if not higher then the infamous mines vehicles.

cant wait to see the results!

please send my condulances to your wallet...but thank it at the same time!!

There's noise restriction on the track!?:blink:

Those pipe look sexy though.

Unfortunatley yes :(

I have to say this is THE only R35 I like anywhere in the world

It has actual development work done and Mr Handbrake doent have the big head of 99% of R35 owners

:D

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.

It's better not to have a big head, less chance of looking stupid when you get things wrong.

Unfortunatley yes :(

Mark certainly doesnt have a big head.

But i would say 99% is an very unfair BS generalisation.

How many R35's in the country? 300? i guess only 3 have their head screwed on right.

The rest of us ae dickheads i suppose.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
