Jeez Paul, that seemed effortless!

Sounds horn too!

yeah was a pretty easy pass...1st one with everything in order. Clutch was used in all shifts...time to turn the boost up, tweak the suspension settings and stop using the clutch.

what mods have u made paul? bigger turbo HAHA

nothing yet...arrive back in qld on monday and ill start sorting a few things out that should see some good gains. Nothing crazy the set-up will be pretty much the same as i believe now all the car needs is a few tweaks...we are going to try a few things in regards to fuel, boost control and suspension.

Righteo...just a quick update...new fuel system and wheel speed based boost control system installed. Mark will be back from the states tomm. so it will be on the dyno very soon for tuning.

Ive entered the Aust vs USA Nitro funny car 2 event series on the 2nd and 16th of January at Willowbank. They have grouped Super Compact with Competition Eliminator bracket and have me racing dragsters and doorslammers. I have resigned myself to be swiftly knocked out of the 1st round of eliminations as my index for my class (Super Compact AA/SM) is 8.38. Should be good fun racing against some big cars running 6's and 7's.

time to get the slicks out and make use of that little blue bottle?

slicks and NOS have no place on a street car :P . It will be fun getting smashed by Austraila's best. The sound of a low 6 second doorslammer passing me at the 330ft mark may leave a nasty stain in my racesuit though :) .

How oftren do you actually drive it on the street (serious question)?

whenever i feel like scaring myself...its mental on the Toyo road rubber...low boost and 1/2 throttle is all you can really give it without becoming part of the scenery. Since the car has been based in qld i haven't had much of a chance to go cruising in it...but once it goes back home it will be taken for a road run whenever i get time.

The car is reasonably well kitted out for road duties as only the rear trims and seat have been removed. It still retains all factory front trims and controls. Even the front and under car sound deadening remains and all the glass is factory as well as power windows. Its pretty much all there except the rear trims and seats as previously mentioned, the air con and the stereo.

Its road registered, runs plates, its a full bodied car, is only marginally lighter than a standard car, runs street radials and doesn't use nitrous. It was fully legal to run as a street car in the ANDRA sport compact drag series, the rules were fairly strict and even stated you couldn't remove the roof lining or carpet.

Its going to be a massacre!!

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
