this is awsome

your all fags!

Luv the fats curve balls.

Re aero yes made an alloy rear under tray from in front of the diff back and rear diffuser with director plates and 4 small vortex generators under the car at the leading edge of diffuser, for less drag, and keep air attached to the high sloping rear diffuser for more down force. Also cut out rear bar a bit to let air out form rear wheels and air ducted at the diff for cooling. Also cut bottom few inches of rear bar for better transition of air leaving the car and will be adding VG's under there also.

Front, we made a Carbon Kevlar under tray with air dam 50mm tapered up rise and has trip strips ( not in pic) in front of the wheels and along the edge of air dam to prevent turbulence form the wheels and help air dam work better. Also made a front splitter with FRP and adjustable supports.

See here for more.

We also cut away bottom of the guards behind front wheels to let air out, removed plastic splash guards under the front guards, and opened up the holes leading into the rear of the engine bay to help air to exit. We also pumped the guards out a bit to help air out but need to support this as I noticed it shaking down the straight, and pump it a bit more to help more air get out.

Hey Dirtgarage that Olive branch has got thorns on it. For someone trying to start a business of some sort you are digging a hole for yourself you are throwing so much dirt, and stop digging up guff.

John, give it a rest now mate.

I have spoken to Paul and now im speaking to you, if you two want to bicker/argue/fondle each other, do it off the forum.

Thanks.

Looks shit.

And by that I mean it looks awesome.

Where's the second exhaust that the 300s normally have? I think I've missed something obvious here... It's not running an RB is it? :P

Real Z32's run RB26's, this is a documented and well known fact :)

Thanks for the info and the link, that's great.

Why are the front splitter supports adjustable? Do you run the front splitter at an angle?

Have you noticed much difference?

Why would I run a less reliable motor and hang more cylinders over the front of cross member? It has a lot of gtr parts including in the engine but I would never ptu an RB in it. waiting...... We are working on a VQ30 which will be a 3.8 litre adn alloy block and 210kg compared to VG30DETT 310kg.

Adjustable to get on trailer easier as I wind it up and yes for track depends on the track I can wind it lower and get slight more angle. Definitely noticed the difference and the main to only change I did when I went back to Philip Island last year in October, as I was there pre splitter and air dam in Easter, and I noticed much more down force on the front, and yes Ican feel it. I actuall needed to remove the front Carbon fibre Kennard’s in testing on the Sat prior to timed event on the Sunday to balance the car out.

Next we will be making some GT 500 style rack off side skirts and looking at doing some rear aero on side of rear bar, like the German touring cars.

Maybe I should just buy Russ and Marks R32 GTR… Hmmm I like a challenge though.

310kg John? wow, that's heavy isn't it (in absolute terms). How does that compare to an RB26? And I hear you re extra engine hangin out in the breeze. I've always wanted to either SR an R32 gts (yes, I'm sick), or VQ a GTR.

RB26 not much lighter you will find if any?

Nissan smartened up and did this and put an alloy V6 in the new R35 GTR.

People often ask why I don't race a GTR. RB26 fans don't read this below.................................

Just to compare the VG30DETT which has not come out of the car for three years, has done zillion track days and this one makes up to 438rwkw has stock, block and crank, water pump, oil pump, sump other than little plate we Tig weld in to stop oil flying out of the well, stock manifolds, throttle bodies and plenum. Much more reliable and cheaper than RB26 with similar power for track use.

which has not come out of the car for three years, has done zillion

yeah but when was the last time they took the engine out of the QEII?

you made the correct engine choice for a nautical application JP.

:D :D :bunny:

Wow have I missed some crap on this thread over the last few days LOL

Have just spent the last few days at Lakeside raceway........I thought they were going to spend money on the track :P

Looking at the stuff that has been written....I was wondering if this is still a superlap thread??

I would certainly like to have a response from superlap on the thread. C'mon Ian and Nathan, I am sure you have caught up on sleep :D

Lots of good reading on here with all the bitching ,this page is not about racing its more about throwing shit on each other lets just hire a boxing ring and sort it all out ,there will be more people there to watch then super lap , so which pro fighter would you use John i dont think bozo could enter that one for you :P

I've always wanted to either SR an R32 gts

Now there's an intelligent man! :P

John: Top idea to make it easier to get on the trailer, wouldn't have thought of that. I'll be keen to see updates as I want to get some undertrays on my car soonish

. I've always wanted to either SR an R32 gts (yes, I'm sick), or VQ a GTR.

You need to understand that i have just finished building a bitumen facility. So that means i have MEANS. Talk like that gives me MOTIVE for a good tar and feathering! :D

LOL, sadly i think the same thing very often, in fact recently asked a friend to follow up with some enquiries concerning such an animal :)

Hi John, on a side note re Lakeside, just had your friend and my neighbour Mr Dawson in my warehouse outlining the plans Tettley has to iron out the kink in Lakeside's main straight later in the year amongst other things. That is a travesty! :D

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
