Starting to get our car sorted...

Finalised the run-in on Friday (did a Sydney>Newcastle>Sydney drive) this was on top of the initial dyno run-in at Croydon's and put a bit of boost in it late friday night. @22 psi on Croydons 4WD dyno it easily pumped out 461KW with the rich run-in tune in the Power FC. This was with BP ultimate 98...so with a decent (read:leaner) tune and Shell 100 in the tank i can see a figure of 500KW+ achieveable, yes over 500kw with low-mounts on pump gas. That should silence a few of the "big single" naysayers...hehe

We took the car to Newcastle Autosalon on Saturday and put it in the dyno shootout, with only 10psi we made just over 350kw to be in 1st place for Sundays finals. I turned it back up to 22psi and with the heat of the day and an exhibition hall full of exhaust gas from the other finalists (not ideal conditions) we made 450KW! This was enough to secure victory in the dyno catergory and win another 4 trophy's including the prestigious "Tough as nails" trophy for toughest car at the show.

This is by far above our expectations and a real shock to Jim and the boys at Croydon's who were unsure if this direction (sticking with twin low-mounts) we were taking with this combo would make the numbers. With race fuel and the NOS in it, it should be abosolutely ballistic.

600kw here we come.

We would like to thank Jim Souvas and all the boys at CRD for all their hard work, knowledge and patience.

Racing the car this Wednesday night if all goes well.

ill keep you posted

Paul

What was the problem the car had that kept it off the road? All sorted now?

Good question Roy, i must be careful what i say about this subject but here goes...

We trusted our car with another workshop to have some work done (custom fabrication work) Their work practices were far from what i expected from them. To cut a long story short, they allowed the freshly built engine to become unsealed and during their work some metal shavings/swarf entered the engine. The engine then had to be removed again, stripped, rebuilt and re-installed.

I must stress this workshop was NOT Croydon Racing Developments.

Congrats on the trophies dirt

what turbos are on the car, capacity and static cr?

:)

turbo's HKS GT-RS items

capacity 2600cc

static CR one thing ill be keeping to ourselves (im sure you understand)

a little off topic but back in the day when u ran the 10.3 @ 133mph do u have a power figure for that run

398kw...i think...it was just shy of 400kw

the torque curve of that engine/turbo/cam combo was very peaky though.

the torque curve of this engine is nearly dead flat at max torque for 5000rpm...its incredible on the road.

its a completely different car....more different than 50kw would have you think.

the power does not tell the story...its the torque.

ill post up a graph

fookin jeebus paul nice result! :)

i bet u cant wait to hit the track on wednesday, good luck :)

yeah...its not too shabby for a very fat (rich) run-in tune. Will be out either Wednesday night and/or all day Friday sorting it out at the strip. All depends on when Croydon's are avail.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
