I think the boys might be reaching the end of the line with weight loss off the bare chassis (for now)

about 39kg once roof off.

almost get the cage for free

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

we're on it, driver weight target 75kg, current weight 79kg

I like red wine too much to give up though so I'm going to have to stop hitting the pizza's and sushi train.

Mark,

If you can pull any more weight out, Just feed it a bit more boost. lol

Doesnt help when turning corners though, Just hope you guys can crack the loom and pull a heap of it out.

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

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

      R34 GT-R Positive Battery Cable Routing

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT. I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors? How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis? Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.

      R34 squeaking sound from passenger front area

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Stock less likely to carry one like that than urethane, but still can, especially if the bolts are not as tight as they should be. If it's making that much noise you should be able to use a hose as a stethoscope> stick one end in your ear, crouch down and wave it around the various possible noise makers and get someone to lift the front end at the guard lip.

      Passenger Door stuck R34 GTT

      Broken actuator rod. Could be one of a couple of them broken. Or, it's locked and the central locking actuator is broken/stuck or the actuator rods between it, the lock and the key barrel are jammed or broken similarly. You'll probably need a locksmith/mechanic who is experienced with using slim tools to reach down next to the window glass to manipulate the mechanism. That's assuming that it is not so severely jammed/broken that nothing useful will move.
