I actually just stumbled on this build. I'm amazed.

Was wondering, any brake heating issues? Doesn't look like any modding was done to direct airflow to them.

Thanks on the build! I have oil going through the radiator as well. I was testing that cooler location, because I don't want to open up the entire front of the car. I can feel the drag now as it is. I have an oil cooler on the way that is literally the same size as the radiator! I am however very concerned about the oil pressure drop through it. We are also working on a radiator/heat exchanger that will dissipate 160btus. Should double our total cooling. Also considering splitting the intercooler, so I can direct the cleanest air possible to cooling. Power isn't the problem heat is, so it should get priority.

I haven't had any issues with brake heating. I did 45 min straight at Road Atlanta (It was January 40deg ambient). I've been running the set of XP8s for what seems like forever! With that said....Ducting is on my to do list. I'm still not sure of what the front end of the car is look like after all the oil cooling mods. Once that's sorted, ill duct them... if there's any air left!

Some more fab pics... Built a custom exhaust 304 stainless all TIG welded

Good work on the exhaust. How much weight did it save compared to the Greddy?

less than 1/2 the weight of the full system (FS by the way)... The secondary need was to clear the area for the fuel cell and diffuser.

So, Jay, how's the drone at say 2500 RPMs? Nice and streetable? *lol* I kid, I kid.

The exhaust looks pretty damn good. I bet it is ungodly loud, though. I want to hear it. :)

Btw, we def need some more pics and videos. :tup:

a quick pic update... this is how the car will look in a Mag feature coming soon.

Fuel cell in last week, moved Dif cooler

Cooling components are all here. Will be going on this week, have testing scheduled for next Friday. Ill update with pics when complete. Also fabing fire box around the cell, and Carbon splitter... gonna be a busy week!

Which mag? Can you talk about it?

probably not... they seem to try to keep that stuff under wraps ... ill find out

This car is incredible! I like this thread

looking good. can't wait to see your lap times and race result's.

Good luck.:tiphat:

Can't wait to see some lap times. That thing is going to be a beast!

Car looks awesome! By the way, I love your garage doors.

Modified Mag front cover. :tiphat: The issue should be out in 2 months, and we'll get a scan of the cover posted up. I wanted to thank Jay again for joining the shoot. It's features a comparison of his 370Z TT vs. our GT-R.

Add me on FB "Sharif Abdelbaset". I added a bunch of pics from the photoshoot that I took with my iPhone...LOL.
