Yeah there's not much more available on the normal cyclic data from the TCM than what I gave Lee, but I've got a list of other (more useful) channels I should be able to pick up, just need time to test it! I'll see if I can find time to do the work in the next week.

Cheers.

Some small updates. Rear diff cooler has been installed. Have also got a brake water spray kit to help with the brake temp issues. We also have some extra brake cooling ducts being fabricated whic

I should have the cage bracket tomorrow Snowy, I'll drop it off at RacePace.

The other big issue we have faced with the car to date has been brake temps. To date there are no real brake ducting solutions available for the R35 so the boys at Racepace have come together with the

A couple of updates. Door's were finished with some bracing to hold the windows and mirrors in place.

Also the intake side of the brake coolers have been done. Really this was a test set-up and we'll make a nicer more permanent solution now that we know that the concept is sound. Definitely we have improved the temps of the rotors - however the first race at Sandown last week showed that 10 laps was now overheating calipers / boiling fluids. So the next step will be in looking into what we can do to assist with that.

And here are a couple of pics of the car on both the wet set-up (TE37SL's)

More to come soon including more work at weight saving and working on improving front end grip.

Yep - got a chance to race in the Radical Australia Cup next year with Adam Newton and so thought a new challenge sounded exciting. Hopefully someone will pick this up and runs with it as I think it will be damn good thing as a Sports Car.

Yeah we had our first test day yesterday and were miles off the pace. It's going to be a real challenge for both of us to get there.

Neither of us could go flat through turn 1 even though we know the car is capable. Brain just doesn't compute that it can do it and so makes the leg lift off the loud pedal still.

And we also both had some big off's yesterday as well so we have a lot to learn. But I'm excited to do something completely new.

The blue car below is the car we'll be running in next year.

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      R34 manual conversion wiring

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
