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

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
