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

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
