great work...were you not the same guy i was chatting to in the staging lanes?? thats why i called out to you...and yes...i was pretty stoked.

That was me yeah when i spoke to you you told me you were hoping for a 9 second pass,you need to give me some launch and gear change pointers so i can get my 10 :) , i ended up running a PB of 11.093 with it missfiring in third and 4th, went over line at 126.?? mph.

your car was crazy quick.

Hi congrats on that blistering quick time considering the problems you had on the night, i am modifying my R32GTR extensively as of late and would like to know if you dont mind what sort of power or torque are you making to achieve that time please.

This will give me a realistic understanding of what sort of power is required to obtain certain time figures there abouts.

Good luck i also are retaining the low mounts good tuning and right mods with this set up can make fantastic times for sure.

Cheers,

Dave.

450-500 kw and 5000rpm of peak torque should see you in the ballpark.

good luck with your build.

not too bad at all paul :P

i bet the wait from ur last outing was really starting to get to you! haha

Fantastic effort & by the sounds of things long overdue - you must delighted mate & great reward for all your effort :P

Time for the RH9 stickers to be applied :D

Well done guys, gone are the days when you had to absolutaly ring its neck for a 10.3, now it runs close to that on a back off. It is well deserved, all your patience and effort have payed off. up 4 another Queensland trip?

PS. Hope is all well with your new addition also.

Car has been off the road for the last 18 months while parts were bought...ideas were thrown around...and the engine was assembled...so yes it has been a while...but worth waiting for.

I didn't set myself the goal of running nine's on low mounts because it was easy...i did it because it was hard. The harder a goal is to achieve, the larger the reward and satisfaction is when its obtained.

And i did it just the way i wanted to...No slicks...No NOS...No dog box...No big $$ engine management.

The RH9 stickers were applied in the pits on Wednesday night before we loaded the car to go home.

well done mate on your 9 sec pass.

put some more boost on board and im sure you will run 9.2 s and run with theo....

cheers. mark

I can't think of a worse fate, Mark!!

Way to go, Pauly! Low mounts, 9's and actually finishing a pass/meeting. So few GTR's that do that these days!

NICE!

At least when my car has problems i can actually get in and fix it and get back on the track.

Hey remember the time i actually replaced a smashed gearset in a gearbox out behind the pits just so i could keep competing...now thats commitment....or is it MADNESS!!

At least i dont smash holes in my engine, have a massive tanty dummy spit and go home looking like an absolute tool.

That effort at Powercruise 3 was outstanding. Big shout out to Macca from Steve's Speed Shop for kickin in as well!! :thumbsup:

Your last statement is spoken like someone who knows better than to get involved with tools.

Dirt Garage for the win!

I just understand that the sport is so much bigger than me...others think they are bigger than the sport! If your not enjoying your racing its time to look at doing something else...at the moment im having a blast!

And oh yes ill never forget how Macca spent some quality time with me under "twoogle's" belly that day. The list of people who have been willing to give their time and expertise to help us out since we started racing is quite extensive and we thank all of you for the effort you have made for us.

Not bad Paul although you still haven't beaten my mile an hour 139.67mph. Keep trying. You front diff boys grabbing the road and throwing it behind.

It seems that less really is more in this situation, John. :w00t:

to run "only" 10.7 with that MPH is nothing to brag about. :D

that was my first run with a lowly 25psi. Got quite a bit left up my sleeve...ill run a whole second quicker than you with your MPH.... hahaha!!

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
