The car was started yesterday and the 1st stage of run-in commenced.

If we have enough hours on the engine and all goes well we are going out to WSID on wednesday night for a few shake-down runs. If we don't have any problems then we will put the race fuel in it, put the Mickey Thompson's on it and up the boost on Saturday at Compak Attak. A PB on Saturday would be nice...a 9 sec pass may see me shout the bar on Saturday night.

Good luck Paul - I should have taken your offer for the MT's the other week :-)

Yeah, it may have been just the thing you needed to run into the 10's...well done on the PB mate.

For those that don't already know (the grapevine travels fast) our car made over 430 AWKW last night with only 21psi on a soft run-in tune. This was done on BP 98 and without any cam timing etc done. Its being properly tuned with race fuel (Sonoco Extreme) tonight with some more boost in preparation for Compak Attak tomm. at WSID.

Unfortunately due to unavailability of 1000cc injectors we will not be tuning the car tonight or racing the car tomm.

BUGGER !!!!

Run out of injectors did you Paul??? :)

Yes..initially i was thinking we would but i was talked into believeing we wouldn't produce so much torque (torque chews fuel up not power). I think Jim was surprised how well the GT-RS performed, and to tell you the truth...so was I. All i can say at this stage, is once properly tuned..."This thing is gonna be good"

BU5TER thanks for the offer mate, and as per the phone discussion yesterday get back to me with a price.

hrmmm got duration? any particulars?

depending on the price ill get either the injectors off BU5TER or Theo...Theo says he will post them down on Monday so ill ring BU5TER tonight for a price.

What particulars were you after?

man thats tough, be interesting to see the numbers, and cant wait to see it in action :) hope someone gets some video footy.

a video is a great idea 'silver' ill see what i can do to get some of the full power runs "u-tubed"

oh i see the picture now Dave...lots of lift and duration....lots

yes thats a very wide lobe with a little base circle. just out of curiosity, what are you reving it to? and what duration/lift. pm if you like. but yeah they not ya run of the mill 260's lol.

and what improvements did it make, any loss down low? etc etc. im just trying to work out what cams to use with my new motor, t04z 1,8 bar optimax reving to 8500

That would be Awsome man!! :thumbsup: Don't for get to post up the links! :P good luck.

car made around 440+ AWKW on pump gas (BP98) at 23psi, this is the same power as before but previous was 34psi and C16 race fuel. This shows the massive gains we have made....the torque curve makes the car look very impressive.

race fuel tuning this weekend and a bit more boost.

first runs at WSID on sunday 22nd July.

its getting very close now

can't wait

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
