The closest we will have will be the 1 hour race at AIR with the Pirelli Grand Turismo Championship in July. You could always contact the AMRC to see if they are interested in having a display there

I hope you dont have it hooked up when driving on the street as the fines are huge if you get caught

and they may even confiscate your car for good under the hoon laws.

LOL - nice comment on a car forum LOL

How many of our cars couldnt be defected? Almost any modifiation will get you a defect, and if your mods dont get you to regency the police officer may send you there for the factory blowoff valve.

I like someone who is prepared to go a differenty path, why should we all be the same?

I agree that without a turbo a 2.5L NA car will never be that fast, but we are limited in power with out tiny 2.5/2.6L turbos too. We would all have a lot more power with turbo'd V10 5L motors etc.

I love my line but at the end of the day there are lots of cars that are faster; lots that handel better; many look better or turn more heads; but they aren't mine, YET. :D

Don't take offense it was only my opinion which is based on practicality. :(

Practicality is where I am coming from. NOS is really only practical at the drags. Track days you will use way too much of the stuff. On the street it attracts huge fines. Who really cares about the defects as they can be sorted, huge fines cannot. :S

In my eyes there are the sheep that follow the wanting to be unique way and there sheep that follow the tried and proven way. Which one returns the most practical usable fun; often the tried and proven way.

Much like those who stick with the rb20 for street use. Its good up to a point but really not much further.

I guess you have to ask your self are you doing NOS to be a poser or doing NOS because you really do want more straight line performance.

In saying that a nice little 200hp nos kit would be quite nice on an NA on the street; just don't get caught. Which is too easily done with modifications that can be seen easily.

With regards to mysetup. I never had the I want to be unique thoughts as I've always viewed them as being slightly poser thoughts my thoughts were I want maximum all round performance. I want to a larger turbo to spool like a stock rb25det turbo and make a solid 100rwkw more.

RB30det + gt30r was the answer so I winged it a little and its turned out impressive. At the time yes it was unique as there was only 1 other I knew of in SA. Now there's a growing population of r32's with rb30's lurking in them.

If it gets defected.. in goes the rb20det; clear defect then umm it all gets tidied up again. :D

see a 200 hp nos jets would blow up my engine.

im not trying to be a poser at all. like i said dyno and track use only, im not one of those dick heads who thinks its cool to do a burnout at the lights etc, do you see me purging at the lights? no. and like i said before i am not using it on the street, get it into your head im not that much of a retard.

but why should i be like every one else who has a turbo'ed car? honestly what ever happened to uniqueness??? i dont want to be like every else.

and im sure if i ever take on a stock GTT i would be able to keep up i too have a power fc. i have many plans for my car, and none of them include a turbo.

and what about mallala?

Meh, thats just a harmless poke (funny though) and suited the post, I am sure no one will be cutting themselves over it. If they are they should harden up. :D

There is usually a reason that a way is done the most. Don't make it hard on yourself JUST to be different.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
