Yeah nice one!
2.8L with -5's and the V-Cam is the awesome setup!
I am guessing high 300's / low 400 rear wheel kW's?

Nice!
What HKS V-Cam setup?
Still 2.6lt or you go with 2.8lt?
Turbos?
It's 2.8 with -5's. Putting the V-cam on has made a massive difference. So much more low down and driveability. Added more top end but low down is the biggest difference.
Step 1 Vcam.

Racepace for me as well.

1000cc injectors. Bosch

Wow - cool setup. That must have cost a pretty penny to setup?
E85 on 700cc injectors?
I'll check on injectors as the car came with two sets and one of them was the ones we used but they may be 1000cc. Seems more likely.
It cost a bit. I'll say no more

Above dyno sheet engine specs. I'm taking a cue from whats above so this is what I know.
N1 Block.
RPM 2.8 build. (don't know huge details)
Garret 2860-5 Turbos
RPM 4inch exhaust (twin 2.5 in tips)
HKS Vcam
HKS Cam Gears
E85 set up (Pumps etc)
Power FC
120mm intercooler
N1 oil pump
N1 water pumps.
Sard 700cc injectors
Nismo AFMs
I think thats all thats relevant. Has sump mods etc as well but figure not making a difference as far as power goes.

3 more sleeps then I'm off to India, was recommended foul curry... Anyone been to India?
I've been to India. Great place with amazing people and incredible life there. It is a massive culture clash when you first get there but if you embrace it you'll really enjoy it. Take probiotics and take them everyday. Just embrace the place and go with what ever it throws at you. On the whole they are very friendly, non threatening people. Have very fond memories of my time there. Enjoy.

Awesome vid. What a day to spend.
-
Do you all have the front guard liners? If so what Condition are they in?
-
Not the best photos by any stretch of the imagination (taken at distance with a phone) however I do like the attitude of the car in the first one. Mine is the silver 33 in the both photos.
Hoping someone has better photos. Especially of my car.

Thanks guys for a great day. My first track day in a loonnnnggg time and had a great day. Even better that the Hawks got up for the third time in a row.
A big thanks to all those that put the time in to make this such a great event. No amount of thanks is enough.

Hoping someone can answer this but wouldn't running the car on the dyno in third change the results making the car appear to come on faster? I realise the engine hasn't changed and is only putting out the same power/torque etc but being in third would put the force to the dyno faster changing the result? A car certainly accelerates faster in third as the ratio allows the power to put force through the tyres to the road faster. Just trying to understand why someone would run a car in third instead of fourth.

As the title says I'm looking for opinions on doing this upgrade. I have the standard 33gtr lights at the moment and I've increase globe wottage, run relays to make sure it is enough voltage and I've set them up so I can run the low and high beams together when needed (I've run this off a switch so I can use them when I want them) and I've had the head lights refurbed to make sure they as as clean and reflective as possible but still the lights are very average. So I'd like to hear from people who have used both the standard and the xenons and how good an upgrade was it. I know where I can get some and can pay the price if they will truly improve the lighting. I drive a lot at night and really like good lights.
I know the xenons look heaps better on the car but I'm more asking regarding how much better was the vision. In short is the upgrade worth it?
