  1. I Have an RB26DETT cylinder head for sale. It has been cleaned, resurfaced, valves lapped and heavy duty valve springs installed (70 lb on seat) . It comes with all stock valves and a stock port job, assembled with collets and retainers. No shims or buckets or cams/cam covers , just the head, valves, springs and retainers. It has minor shipping damage to one of the cam towers when it was returned from the machine shop. My friend sold his GTR I was building the engine for, so the head is no longer needed. I'm at Bribie Island north of Brisbane. Lets say $600 ono just to move it along to someone who can use it. ring ben on 0403773592 or e-mail [email protected].

  2. I have a 7.25 inch diameter quartermaster twin plate clutch for sale. It is a heavy duty triple plate cover running two of the rally driven plates - these driven plates are much thicker than the usual racing plates which givs the unit long service life for street cars etc. The heavy duty cover is reputedly good for 800 ft lb of torque (torque capacity for the standard unit is 600 ft lb). I used this unit for only around 10 quarter mile passes, so it is basically new. Price ? how does $1100 ONO sound ? I'm in Brisbane, ring ben on 0403773592 or e-mail [email protected]

  3. I have a complete Innovate wide band tuning system for sale. Includes the XD 16 gauge (Retail $229 USD), TC4 thermocouple input (runs 4 EGTs, but EGT sensore not included) (retail ($115 USD), LMA3 (auxbox)data input box (retail 225 USD) and the DL32 32 channel Data logger (retail $450 USD) complete with SD card and SD card reader. Thats over $1000 USD worth of tuning equipment. Used less than 2 weeks so its virtually new. My price ? Offers around $600 AUD. For $680 AUD I'll throw in a oxygen sensor (Bosch 7677 type) and a LC1 O2 sensor driver. Comes complete with software, all cords, thermocouple wire etc.

    I'm in Brisbane. e-mail [email protected] or ring 0403773592 if interested.

  4. Hi everyone,

    I have not received any e-mails re: these bits yet, so make sure you get the address right, [email protected], cc to [email protected].

    Obviously I'd prefer to sell the diff complete with half shafts etc., but I can separate but it has to be first in best dressed. The main thing is not to reply to this thread, call or e-mail me otherwise I'll assume you're not really a serious buyer.

  5. BTW, nice car, good for towing , fuel economy with DFA was as good as 9.9L/100 km on the highway (560-570 km/tank) and averaged 11.5 L/100 km in light traffic(490-500 km/tank). 1/4 mile time was 14.9@94mph with DFA, 3 inch exhaust, shift kit for trans and boost bump to 6 psi. Fantastic family car, just won't go on the beach like our new 4WD!

  10. Anyone who wants to make serious horsepower needs a serious fuel system. The Weldon 2345A is about as serious an electric fuel pump you can get, it flows 230 gph at 45 psi (thats 14.5 L/min) and 210gph (13.3 L/min) at 80 psi fuel pressure at 14 volts, enough to support 2000 hp on gasoline and 1000 hp on methanol. I have one of these which is only 3 meetings old (build date 27 Feb 2006), its as new, but I want to sell as I'm upgrading to an even larger mechanical pump. This is what it looks like

    Cost new is around $1800 AUD retail, will sell for $1450 ono.

    You'll also need a pretty big fuel pressure regulator to control that puppy. I have the big magnafuel MP9950 twin port EFI regulator with adjustable fuel pressure (currently set at 50psi) , 1:1 boost compensation and it will control one or two fuel rails, complete with 2 x -6 AN port fittings . Price new over $300 AUD (with fittings), will sell for $250 AUD ono. This is what it looks like:

  12. congrats to reece and heat treatments.

    Not taking anything away from reece but everyone thinking hks are scared have to be kidding they have had the record for so many years and that 7.6@181mph was down on petrol not methanol.

    PRO GTR rules in japan i think state clearly that petrol must be used.

    This seems to imply that a lack of power would be the issue if the heat treatments car was tuned on petrol. I do not think this would be the case. The formula one cars of the 80s were restricted to petrol too but still were able to run upwards of 60 psi boost on petrols with high toluene percentages. On the other hand, the HKS car does not comply with the safety rules required of ANDRA/NZDRA - from memory it only had a bolt in roll cage and a non OEM firewall, amongst lots of other things which required special dispensation for it to race in Australia. It would be quite a bit lighter than the heat treatments car because of this. The HKS racing fuel it ran would also not be legal for ANDRA/NZDRA sanctioned events. My guess is they would have brewed special toluene rich fuels to use in that car whenever it ran.

    So indeed the playing field is not level, but in my opinion it is slanted in favour of the japanese car which does not have to meet the stringent fuel and safety regulations required here (or in the US for that matter). That is why the efforts of the heat treatments team are even more impressive, and why my guess is you'll never see the HKS car run outside Japan other than for exibition events, as its simply not legal for sanctioned drag racing in most countries. Another way of thinking is "bugger the rules" - the record we are talking about is fastest 4WD on the planet over the quarter mile, there are no real rules except for the need to meet the relevant safety regulations of the sanctioning bodies which run the tracks......

    In any case, at this level of tune, power is not the issue, theres usually plenty of that available, its getting the car down the track which is the hard part, which dictates that track conditions and the tuning skills of the team are the most important variables.

    My information suggests that the boost levels used in the heat treatments car are still relatively low, so since its eligible to race a sanctioned drag racing tracks , it will tend to have better track conditions to play with as they grapple with the power, so I reckon the HKS people (while not necessarily being "scared"), have lost the crown of fastest 4WD on the planet, and probably will find it very hard to get it back, if they try at all.

  13. i seen you were entered in S/RWD thats awesome Ben. theres going to be some good racing in the class.

    have you run on radials before?

    if so, what sort of times have you run on them?

    thanks

    Shane

    I'll just borrow a set of 255/50/R16s and see how they go. Haven't run radials at the drags for a while, but used them on the street in NZ. I expect to have to kill the launch a bit, but thats fine as it was dragging its bumper on the ground last time out.
