Why does it not have the centre MFD?

it's hard to make out in the vids, but if it's the car I think it is when I saw it in japan it had a full custom dash hence no MFD. but I could be wrong, the dash does like a bit R33 GTR in shape. still fairly sure it's the NAMS 34. but again, it's hard to say with 100% certainty from just a blury interior.

BTW, the red car you linked, and the silver one is not the same car. the red one is apparently a customers car that has been exported.

yeah there are a few hard core cars getting around but not many with the same kind of single focus as the japanese time attack cars.

UAS 300ZX

Racepace GTR

Giants GTR

ex-Whites targa 34 GTR

plenty more I can't remember.

Yeap,

I've seen Racepace GTR at Sandown, also my fav of all time workshop.

I've heard, read about UAS ZX, pretty hardcore as well but it runs on SLICK, full time attack car but none of these workshops are really into TIME ATTACK theme if you know what i meant, the Jap way.

We'd love to see all these cars get together and flog the crap out of Sandown to see who's the fastest, just like Tsukuba time attack that BMI organise every now and then, would be MAD.

I blame google. Google and global warming. :(

haha killer car and a nice bloke to boot, spent some time (and alot of cash) at his workshop/night bar whilst in osaka with Hiko from signal. He is a full-on AE86 freak too. This car has a BIG T88 trust turbo and was one of the fastest GTR's in time attack for some time.

      And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
