The car has only recently been completed and has ran a string of 9 second passes, it is 60'ing in the low 1.4's which is second only to Mark Jacobsen in Aust. Engine has only been run-in and has done 12 drag runs and dyno tuning. Engine has mostly ran on Sunoco Max NOS fuel $10/litre and only used Motul 300V le mans oil $25/litre. At autosalon on the weekend easily made 500+AWKW with a fairly rich tune and only 25psi. This is the worlds fastest, quickest and most powerful low-mount turbo'd GTR and we are yet to use big boost or nitrous. The car is capable of mid to low 9 second runs once engine and chassis is fully dialled in. Its a no expense spared racecar and can easily be converted to a circuit racer with the addition of some monster brakes. Comes with most std trims, fittings and parts to convert back to a street car. Lots of spares including spare engine block, prepped rods, forged pistons, transfer case etc. The car is street registered in NSW and is an ANDRA log booked car with a current and recent technical inspection. Interested buyers can see this car race at WSID on the 19th May 2008. as this will be the the cars last outing.

Stacey and i have decided to sell the car due to the fact we can no longer enjoy racing the car together due to our new baby (drag strips are not the place for little ones ears) Recent meetings have not been as enjoyable for me as Stacey was not able to attend. Will consider swap plus cash for mint Australian delivered R32 GTR, Stagea 260RS or straight swap for tidy R34 GTR

the last time i saw your car at CRD was when i was having mine dyno'd with the same turbo setup (HKS GTRS).

this car has evolved somewhat from what i remember & WHAT A BEAST!!!

nothing to spend - all the hardwork & investment has been done!

beautiful car which has been tuned & built by the best workshop in nsw, CRD.

is this TWO-O6L?

Hi Paul, Hi Stace!

What a sad day for you guys - big decission to make.

Its nice to leave the drag scene on a good note though :)

I think the price is reasonable for the sale too.

Dave.

Thanks Dave, yes not an easy decision but one that had to be made.

Time with my young family is more important than anything achieved trackside.

Very hard to put a price on the car as the man hours to develop such a car is countless. Its not just a matter of raiding the Japanese parts catalogue bolting it all together and going fast. There is only a handfull of us in the country that have gone sub 10 and most will attest to the massive budget required to do so. This is a great opportunity for someone to take this car over at reasonable cost and enjoy what its like to campaign a truely awesome racecar.

Maximum respect for all the achievements this car has done.

Especially for pushing aside the widely accepted misconception that only a Large single top mount turbo is the configuration best suited for high 1/4 mile results.

You are deff pioneers and are a true asset to the skyline community.

Regards

Rob

Wow Paul...

What a bargain price too. I hope the new owner continues the development in Drag racing cause i want to see what shes really got on offer!

Tough decision Paul & Stacey, Goodluck!

woah...Not an easy decision to make, Pauly. But maximum respect for it and what you guys have achieved with this car. $65K is a reasonable price for such a consistent and well packaged car with plenty in reserve for better times.

    • 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.
