Endless-R R35 brake kit upgrade for R32/33/34.

Our new billet aluminum kit allows users to fit R35GTR 6 pot mono block calipers with 380mm rotors to R32 / R33 / R34. We have fitted these these to 18" rays TE37 wheels, but wheels do vairy, so we cannot guarantee fitting on all 18" wheels as simply we havent been able to check all wheels. Please see our 600ps street car here "rain" to see fitment of the brakes.

Price is Yen: 120,000 posted via EMS to Europe.

R35GTRの6ポットモノキャリパーに380mmのローターをR32,R33,R34に使用可能にした、エンドレスオリジナルキットはいかがでしょうか?
このブログでも紹介した謎の大富豪ライアンさんのR32、Rays-TE37にもすっぽり入っております!

BAD DAYS

Today 00:01 I was awoken by my fiance screaming at me "whats happing to your face" I was alarmed and bolted up right and reached out and could feel some strange goings on....especially around my eyes.......it was like someone or something had scoured lines around my eyes, then I remembered.....somehow.......by no means of my own.......I had turned 30.........I am sure I am not the only one who this has happened too, but it felt like it.

Actually I shouldnt scare all you 29 years olds or younger.....(I am not the boogie man) but as I crossed over to the other side, I can say nothing changed and the above was just bullshit.....I mean, I didnt even go to sleep, I was too excited to see if anyone bought me any crap :)

So what did happen I hear you ask?
well.....my fiancee gave me a special and heavy box, and said "tan-joe-be o-mu-dee-to" which means (and I spelt phonetically, pheneticlaay??? or however you spell that word) "happy birthday" as a rough translation.....she then followed with "ku-so-ge-ge" which is like "old bastard" :) I laughed and continued to open my gift.....


The box:
The watch is designed by Yoshioka Tokujin 吉岡徳仁、and the minutes are the small hand which is somehting quite unique.
It also never needs a battery.....just a few turns in the day of the dial if I am not wearing it, or just leave it on and hopefully should last forever....or at least until I hit 40s (another story)
Just simple design this side, but I love the mechanical workings inside. Thankyou for my gift xxx I want to turn 30 every day :)

Mapping Rains car...



Well, Today we had a nice dry day, so we put the plates on Rains car, and took it out for "live" mapping. Houdachi driving, Isono san mapping and me sat in the back filming (video coming)
本日快晴につき、謎の富豪ライアンさんのエンジンにプレートを打ちつけ、セッティングに行ってきました。
First impression is.....OMG
後日動画でも紹介いたしますが・・・

Second impression is OMG....why does it pull so well?
トルクスゴイ!

Differences and problems with originality:
The full counter engine with race head doesnt sound like any other RB I have heard. The engine has almost an N/A tune to it, not too disimilar to the sound of the straight six BMW had in their flagships saloons....but then the turbos kick in and your reminded (and quite quickly I might add) that there is 2 industrial hairdryers blowing alot of air into the engine :)....bloody hell the car is fast and thats with 3 people.......and It gets better....and worse :( .....lets do the worst first....
We mapped the car on different boost levels, 1.1/1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5kgm
Every boost setting up until 1.4kgm was fine....then when we tried we couldnt believe it, a little clutch slip, which we were shocked as Nismo quote 670ps and 84kgfm of torque, perhaps the clutch is over rated?
So....
Isono san wanted to get the data at 1.5bar (the movie will be uploaded tomorrow) but the clutch slipped alot.
Other parts that may not help the nismo clutch is the R34 GTR transmisson coupled with the R32 final drive ration of 4.1 makes for a very responsive car, and very aggressive torque delivery from low down RPM,
The good news was, I couldnt believe this is only a 2770cc engine......even at the boost setting of 1.3bar, the car pulled like a train,
RAIN san also has the privilege of owning the very rare R34 GTR Z-Tune......which we set as a bench mark and today I feel we beat it. We got the data for 1.5bar boost, and the car will go for final setting on the rollers at other endless shop.

ブースト1,4kgくらいまでは非常に快調に飛んでいくんですが、1,5kgになると滑りましたよー、nismoのカッパーミックス!
お客様たっての希望で(反対を押し切られw)取り付けたものの・・・やっぱりこのくらいの車になると、トリプルくらいあったほうが良いです。
それでも2,7lエンジンとは思えないほどぐいぐい引っ張ります。完成が楽しみな一台です!


QUESTION: Why is this so different from the others cars we have made?

ANSWER: Rain wanted everything that is found one of our wild race cars.....then asked us to tame/muzzled it and put in his daily driver, its not something thats done very often and I feel we pulled it off well......but it still has bite, which the Nismo twin clutch found out ;) here is the spec of the beast...or be it tamed beast.

SENDAI HIGHLANDS 仙台

Beautiful setting....but a little noisy :)

Saurus customer car is runing the new HKS T62 Turbo
Saurus R32 GTR with T62 turbo, Vcam and seem welded chassi, sadly it broke on the day.
Escort who have a shop in under 60 meters from entrance of central, and have a twin turbo ferrari in their shop.
"ansin jidousha" means safety car.....Escort had trouble all weekend but managed an 8.2 sec run to win the open class
Inside Escort R32 GT-S pro drag car, the owner of the car
has spent Yen: 30,000,000 getting this car into the low 8sec barrier, but its chassi will allow it to go to 7.5sec. This quite normal looking lancer, was running in the 11sec class, he has a full 2.3ltr engine and HKS Vcam with large turbo.

This Aristo was also made for pro drag, but he had problems in the outlaw class all day, best time was mid 11s.
Trust T88-38gk was under the bonnet
Screen has run in the 9sec class before, and with pro driver achieved many 9.5sec runs (good for an SR20 engine) But sadly their modifications that were made didnt allow them to compete in the out law class (sub 9sec class)......but will be a car to watch next year.


this soarer was wearing a very tough drag body kit, but afer talks wih the driver, its actually a rather normal engined car bar the big single turbo, aero and slicks, he ran in the 11sec class.
