woohoo, just made 370+rwkw on 23psi, pump fuel, at boostworx, looking good for the nats:)

Rb30, 850hp gt42, mv electronic jatco auto

I'd say at minimum you'll be needing a Super Street Licence (11.99 and under) and a tailshaft loop-not to mention some slicks or drag radials.

Good work.

ha,ha, yeh i know, i haven't got time to cage it either,

it made 378rkw and 640nm of torque in todays 42 degree heat

11.5 a.f ratio at peak power.,23psi, pump fuel.

I actually drive it around with rag style Et streets on the road, pointless otherwise.

see what happens, good to see we are now both pushing mikes electronic transmissions

to the max!

cheers

I will have my R33 GTS 4 door out there to have a crack at an 11 second pass this year to improve on its existing 12.5. Trying to do it in full roadworthy regency approved trim too with stock GTR exhaust, airbox, filter etc. (just passed full engineering inspection last week). Just a nice tune up with our laptop Power FC software and 1.0bar of boost through the RB26 should do it :mellow:

heya martin, hows the progress with peter going on starting to work on 4WD's. ive just got a 99patrol turbo diesel wouldnt mind using it as a test mule if he/u are keen to try some stuff

cheers matt

I suppose its easier and cheaper to just dream it eh?

Always is:)be good to see anyway.

MattR throw a ls1 in it:)

Yeh i have heard that the timers may not be fixed in time, rumour mill in

real life and the internet is going crazy...time will tell i guess

cheers

Hmm.. full regency approved + power FC... 1.0 BAR of boost.. methinks I smell a contradiction :)

I called and asked what mods are street legal to cars the other day.. and the lady said, you can have a different exhaust so long as it's not too loud, and you can have a different intercooler + piping. Cams, turbo, fuel computers, turbos, basically anything that can make a real difference to power need to be emissions tested (3 grand, thank you very much) to see if they comply with ADR's. Basically.. err.. what was my point? Oh yes, completely street legal + 11 seconds.. I doubt it's truly possible, even in a car as mighty as the GTR... If you can do it, I mean pass a roadworthy AFTER you run an 11 second pass.. I will bow to your awesomeness!!!

Actually that would be a good way to stick it to those regency goons, try to get some fairly normal mods emissions tested, so we can all have bigger turbos etc. and have an engineers cert for it? Maybe as a group buy? :lol: We can all put in fifty bucks and put it on someones car and get it passed... ah but I bet that they require testing for each individual car *sigh*.

Hopefully my honda s2000 will be ready by then. I can't wait to get into the low 11 or better. However with the rate of work done on the car I don't think it will be able to get out of the workshop early enough for De and I to pull the head out and check the engine before 4,6&R :P

Surely they wouldnt cancel the event (outright) due to timing equipment issues? Postpone maybe, but not cancel! I certainly hope not. I'm on target to have a 'slightly larger' new turbo and manifold combo in and tuned... but a delay in the event wouldn't hurt :D

Congrats on the R31 results Darren. Shaun was telling me it's a bit hard to tame even on the ETs! Fill it up with 110 and there's 400+ to be had.

G'day Martin. You must have a new mob' or too busy at the moment? I sms'd you the other day (re a Feb06 Hot4s hose article - 'Can you write in to tell us the odd part out, though?') I can! And most of the 'odd parts' are long gone :)

Hey Matt, if you can do better than 12.74 in the TD Patrol I'll buy you a beer mate - make that a carton :O

Hard to tame....you could say that,

with et streets rags, let down to 15psi on the high boost,(23psi) it does a top fuel

style burnout in 1st 2nd and straight into top gear :rolleyes: , hopefully

gearing it up a bit helps alot. I thought the tyres were better than that :P

cheers

darren

sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but a little birdy told me that they had been either cancelled or posponed due to some timing equipment issuses....

could be bullshit... not sure

Just reading on Ausrotary.com the nationals looks to be cancelled & its more than just equipment issues :D.

doesn't mention it on the air website though?

heres a email i just received from AIR. [email protected]

As of yet the meet has not been cancelled. I have been told by management that hopefully our timing system will be repaired by then. I will be able to give you a definite yes or no on the 8th. We are flying in an expert from Melbourne to analyse the problem and hopefully rectify the major problem we have with our timing system.

Regards,

Trish

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
