Pharaohabq Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hmm I don't see any wiring for the machine guns, oil slick, smoke screen, or the rocket launchers, You must not have got that far yet. :-b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EF Ian Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I can imagine it takes a long time if you want it all done neat and tidy and have everything double checked. Will be worth it though. What are you going to cover it with? Raychem DR25? Is that a Porsche gearknob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrolston@mac.com Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 IT'S ALIVE!!! After 5 years of work, we finally started the car this week. The tune is still rough and we haven't figured out if all of the sensors are sending correctly, but it runs. We should have it tuned (just a basic tune) before Nismo Fiesta at the end of April. Woo Hoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad-280z Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Simply awesome! What shop are you at in Austin?? I may want to stop by and see this piece of art, I mean car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlawleZ Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Very excited to see this car running finally. I remember seeing it at ZCON and Nismo Fiesta in the past. It appears this time its a running car. One of the most exciting s30 cars I've ever seen or heard of being built. Anxious to see how your time and hard work building this car translates to real world numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrolston@mac.com Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 I plan to bring the car to this coming Sunday's Nismo Fiesta (4/27). The car still has a lot of work to go but at least it's finally running. Most of the remaining work is cosmetic and finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Wow Congratulations Mark! The first running VQ35HR S30 Ever! You certainly beat me to getting it running by at least another year. Your Build is certainly much more extreme than mine too. Very very cool! I'm looking forward to more videos etc. Were there any wiring issues that you had to work through? Did you end up going with the NATS delete afterall? I assume you dropped all circuits that are not directly needed for race operation?

EF Ian Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Will be great to see this killing everything on track once its finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen C. Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 So did you end up coming by the fiesta on Sunday? I was there for an hour or so just after noon. To be honest. I thought the show was pretty weak. Mostly 350 and 370z with shiny bolt ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlawleZ Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It was good talking with you Mark right before the awards were handed out. That sucks about the map...your RB car looked fantastic as always. Looking forward to hearing updates on this one once its running again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrolston@mac.com Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 After a long silence I have an update to share. In January I started a new business, argodesign, and that has consumed much of my time so this project has been going very slowly. On top of that, Andris has been swamped with his race team. But he's about to finish a few key things in the next 2 weeks and I'm going to take the car to get tuned and then start the last phase of fit and finish. pictured is the custom alternator and brackets it took to fit within the tight working space. Also, when it was up on the lift I managed to take a good set of pics of the underside of the car. There are still a few spots where we have yet to add aero panels, especially the diffuser in the back. I had found a guy to help me with the complex CF work but he didn't work out so now I'm back on my own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
