we are hoping for about 250-280 less than stock Noel (1450-1500)

its getting hard to find weight now though...

Might have to start looking at driver weight savings?

I hear the oxygen diet is effective :P

Lovin' reading about the build btw

Edited by iamhe77

this is a standard box with upgraded parts, the DSG uses a synchromesh type engagement which is retained here in the dodson setup as far as I am aware. a dogbox is a completely different when compared to a DSG

I continue to be totally amazed at your commitment to create something that really is in a World of its own.

The high level of engineering expertise being applied to your car, is a pleasure to watch.

I am looking forward to the my first track day where I can watch your car ROARRRRR by!

The quality of work and results achieved by Mercury Motorsport on your car, is the primary reason I have been inspired to start modifying my car.

Thanks,

Kym

When i first got my r35, i didn't want to have any mods on it.

But after reading your first build post on your r35, i've changed my mind and decided to give it a try.

Really excited to see the end result for this one.

thanks guys, the mercury crew is certainly getting right into it.

Kymbo, would be good to catch up again at the track.

Eric, glad to see you are enjoying modding the car.

here is one of the snaps from the baseline geometry of the R35

next will some further runs with the top racing kit and then design of the aero pieces and further test runs

Now thats a NSFW picture right there, so shinny...

I will be at the next QR/Lakeside event your running at to ogle this machine...

I just want to sit on a camp chair in front of it for 5 minutes and take in the shape and curves, then maybe touch it a little... :cheers:

When you see someone breaking out CFD plots in build, you KNOW they're nuts ;)

Love the development & the speed at which this project is churning forward.

I hope your going to do a drive day for your fellow staff mates at Q-Scan, would be awesome watching their faces as you take em for a lap :P

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
