I'm throwing a new fuel sustem in my tamed monster, I call her Gentle. I called her GEN originaly because the plates began GEN, but as I began to drift it, it was clear gentle aplication of throttle, stearing, brake or any combination of these was needed or you would be punnished....... badly.

At any rate, many years down the track, the engine has been freshened, ported, camed, ballnced and so on as is normal with all performance type builds. Something that many forget about is the fuel system........ so I have gone TOTALY OVERBOARD. After talking to my Head man and the Cam man, with the right suporting systems this engine should be capable of 800 BHP @ 2Bar, on paper. Even thou I only ever plan to run 1.5 Bar, this should do the trick!!!!!

Carter lift pump

Sturdy Surge swirl pot

2 x 040 bosch pumps

top feed 550 inj, ex GTR

fuel rail fed from both ends with a single return

Slightly modified intake manifold

70 psi fuel pressure

We were playing with it on the Dyno this arvo getting it sorted for next weekends Gatton sprints. Only pushing low boost for the moment at just under 10 psi. Trying to get low boost driveability for the tighter sections. 280ish rwhp @ around 4000 rpm at said boost. Tomorrow should be fun tuning at higher boost and revs.

That is kind of good to know.

But how many motorsport ppl tell thier secrets. Its pretty simple realy.

Disappointing... Where would you be mate if no-one helped you out?

I really don't understand this sort of thing in club level sport.

Anyone would think you've invented something special that nobody else has ever thought of...

Agreed

All well and good in a professional championship (with prize money, sponsorship, etc at risk) to keep a tight lip, but for club level track events that's just being silly.

I have cusco upper control arms (front and rear) and plan to run 3.5deg(f) and 1.5® once i start doing a few track days, in the near future.

Found this self wheel alignment measuring tool on Import Monster: LINK HERE

It will cost about $230 landed.

Can anyone tell me if it is any good; if it is good value; if i can get something similar from here and if there is an English software version?

Thanks

Noddy,

kinda off topic.....but Im VERY keen to know how you get so much camber @ the fronts!!!

+1

im running -2.5 atm, with nismo upper arms, trying to source some nismo lower link, as from what i have heard it will be me about -0.5 to -1 degrees of camber (extra)

Hey guys..

This is my 93 32 GTR on it's first track outing, not much done to it. Pods, 3.5 cat back, Power fc and Boost tap pushing 240 on 1 bar, oh and slotted rotors.

One valuable lesson I learnt was don't use shitty tires on the rears, attesa saved my ass on numerous occasions :cool: Took it out just to test the waters and see how I like it. Was great fun.

Mods planned hopefully done by august=

-toyo's

-oil cooler/ relocator and tank

-fuel pump (044 probably)

-Denso 800cc injectors (got them already)

-z32 air flow meters (got these also)

-braided lines and new fluids

-low mount twin set-up (really not sure yet 2530 or the equavalent garret's perhaps)

-dumps + front pipe

-electronic boost controller

-100k service (nearly on 90k)

Cheers guys,

yeah was just a simple question!

but cheers anyway guys :)

Anyhoo,

my first little incident on the track. Clipped a ripple strip at OP after a spin and the ripple strip pushed the bar up and out! not much damage, just ripped 2 bolts in the support, other than she's fine!

Oh, I got 3rd fastest on the day too which was fun!!

what is the track tomek? looks very tight....

You would be right mate..

It's not really a track, it's a go kart track up here in Townsville :)

Using 2nd all the way through it, with one change into third down the straight. Tight and windy corner's and a chicane. Still quite tricky in some bits for myself, need to get it down pat since im moving back down to Sydney in the next few years :(

This vid should show it better..

ahh very interesting. we were looking into hring a kart track years ago for drift practice before the full circuits started allowing it. but they just all looked too tight, even for beginners. good to see they let cars out on it.

Here's my old girl.

couple of incar vids hereJBR

power 202kws at 16.5psi

mods

oil cooler,fmic, inlarged rb20 turbo, 040 fuel pump, jjr coil packs, 3'' ex, chipped ecu, rear adj camber, lowered springs, shorter front upper conrtrol arms and that about it i think.

Ive had three 3rd placings (for the rounds) and my last race meeting was the most successfull in terms of placings, Q 2nd, Heat 1 4th, H2 2nd, H3 1st and the Final 4th and unfortanly ended up with one brand new turbo ruined.

Im still getting used to saying 1st!!!!! i like it.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
