The R35 project is getting some more love and attention in the form of some new wheel caps and painted hats

Some (slightly pornographic) shots of the R35! Sexy beast! This was taken when doing some testing at Killarney.

Just check out the ass on that thing :inlove:

A few more subtle, elegant cosmetic mods done to Nick's R35 will ensure that she stands out from the crowd

Yes, I drooled over this very car during my visit to AutoMC, and it sounds :drool:

The newly painted cage was installed and is looking tops. Also a 6-point harness is in place:

Then, the intake and cowl installation was completed:

And a master power solenoid installation:

@AutoMc -

- why did you install a oil
Separator and transmission cooler on a 2014? Is the car used as a track car?

Just as a matter of interest what mods have you done to the car?

Oil separator is an essential mod when you start running upgraded boost... the gearbox is the weak link in the GTR chain and this car does get tracked, regularly and the cooler takes a good 15 degrees of heat out of the gearbox under high stress conditions... essential for the longevity of the box.

And a master power solenoid installation:

What the...? NO!

The car has all this amazing stuff and no expense seems to be spared and then this? A super cheap switch just stuck in a random spot?

Or am I an ignoramus am missing something?

I think the idea was to fit a switch which is easily accessible and does not intrude too much at times when the car is tracked. Hence the fact that its a small switch which the placed out of view on the window cowl at the bottom. Im not sure what other type of button one would fit which does not stand out.

Please educate the noob here. What does this switch do?

The GTR is racing at Killarney this weekend in the Sports and GT series, which is part of the Regional Power Series. The Series is MSA accredited. If you wish to race a car in any MSA accredited event, the car must meet the MSA minimum standards. One of these is a complete electrical power cut from switching positions both inside and outside the vehicle. Your options are those very nice red T-Bars as manual isolators or a switch activated solenoid.

As this remains a road car for me I decided on a switch activated solenoid to created the electrical power cut. The external switch must be easily accessible by a Marshall and visible. The switch we used is a Stainless Steel switch body with high quality posts and a weatherproof rubber cover (looks like a nipple when installed). We put it at the base of the windscreen as it is out of the airflow off the bonnet, is visible, reachable and complies with the regulations.

I am thinking about turning up a nice aluminum cover that will screw over the switch for periods when I am not racing the car... so that I can keep it out of easy reach of some people with itchy fingers... Namely my daughters. It will then simply look like a black post on the trim under the windscreen.

Hope that clarifies the switch position ;-)
Later
