Hi all,

Thought I might post this...mainly for a little bit of sound.

This is the first shakedown after a complete driveline fresh'n up......rev's were set to 7,000rpm and boost to 20PSI and we were on old slick's.

Timing was 1:05's which imo was not to bad considering we didn't even know we were doing that time!

thanks for sharing - what a beautiful gtr & just the way i remember it as a kid on tv.

what boost & power level were they running in its day (prior to restriction)?

how much weight was saved in its race form?

Hey Craig, are you up this weekend? Are you bringing anything for me to drive?

yup....flying up Thursday.

I wont be playing though....Cazz had some last minute issues with the DR30.....pity because because this meeting is going to have some very quick cars. Dad will be running the GIO car again unless he meets with an accident!

@Marko....boost was set to 26PSI(ph34r.gif) with 8,500rpm in the 90/91 "apparently....but these motors are stupidly strong so who really knows what they did. Power level I would prefer to keep quite.....let's just say it's more than enough....weight is about 1,320kgs from memory.

Stumbled across this...anyone know who was piloting the R31?

I was there, the R31 was by far the fastest thing out there but he just couldnt keep it on the track with moves like that, he went of 2 or 3 times in that race and they also he to do a drive through (i guess to replicate a pit stop) when he got on it at the top of the exit leaving the pits it died, he rolled all the way down and onto the track and almost came to a stop before he got it started again, its an awesome car to watch and they will be back at sandown at the start of november.

guy's......thought you might like this.....this run is at 1.4bar!..........<1992 boost!

...........we can run 1991 boost!.....ninja.gif

P.S. That HR31 at Sandown is our old car now owned by Cary McMahon........pretty sure he has his head around the car now....they were early days!

what an amazing car & the pinnacle of all gtr's - case closed!

i came across this clip 2 weeks ago by accident & circulated it amongst my friends - such a beast.

JEM made a comment "We don't know engine specs all we know if thats a Gibson built engine. Turbo specs are similar to 2860 -5's but not identical"

do you have the same opinion in that the turbo's are closest to -5s if you were to match these with an off the shelf turbo?

442kw @ 1.4bar (only 20psi)...this is a true example of the R&D that went into this ATCC to make this level of power with 'smallish' turbo's - simply gobsmacking :worship:

What fuel is it running these days? I suspect that is was more power then they had in the day. Is it truly 1991 Spec?

Sunoco 260GT is the fuel we are running.........back in 91 the power levels were not that much greater than in 92.....in fact I have heard that the 92 tune was a lot more drivable and safe!.....we are not planning on running the higher boost unless needed!

yes Roy....this is truly 91 specthumbsup.gif....Only difference is the fuel and ECU......we had to move away from the original ECU as we could not source someone to do us new chips.....we would have stayed with the original one if we could have as it was a very good unit.

Thought I might add that this is the last of the GMS motors and it was brand new!....pity they did not supply the chips with it.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
