Come on, Paul. You know you wanna give up and spend the day just watching and cheering on all us little people in the reserve grades! :D

right...the silver cars diff is in and running...the ecu is in and not running.

the black car is ready but may need to lend the silver one some bits...

up bright and early big day ahead...

Bracket racing..hehe..a few experienced boys at my last bracket meet were put on the trailer early by a novice in a pretty little silver riceburner.

Marks runs were:

10.6

8.1 w/ 1.32sec 60ft

10.7 w/ 1.23 60ft

8.07 @ 171mph w/ 1.25sec 60ft

Had the track have been 10c warmer and the surface prep been better the car would have run a comfortable 7.9 possibly even a high 7.8sec pass.

Videos were taken, im sure they will be posted sometime tomorrow.

good to see mark finally taking some weight out of the car!

a 1.23 sixty with Mark's usual MPH is a 7.8x pass. Car sounded nuts all weekend!

and a 3.3 to the 330 was big too. Unfortunately the track past the 330 was lacking as it was from this point onwards the car was out of shape. Spinning the rears in top gear to 170MPH and no lift off from throttle when we checked the MoTeC data...i don't know if that was brave or silly...but it was worth it.

Big thanks from all the GMS crew to Benm for supplying and operating the recovery vehicle for us all day.

I was going to ask if that was Bens shaggon waggon

its currently doing deliveries in the sydney metro area proudly displaying its Godzilla Motorsport livery.

News on our car...

Got diff in and running friday....put Autronic in and had a few problems getting it running. Finally got it sorted late Saturday afternoon and tuned. The ATTESSA ecu was not recieving the correct signals from the Autronic to run the 4WD. We tried bridging over a TPS signal and lost the bloody tune!! The Autronic went bonkers and took an hour to recover it. Mark retuned the car in about an hour and by midnight had it running and making good power. We again got out the wiring diagrams and found that the earlier bridge we ran was on the wrong pin...bugger. Got the TPS signal to the ATTESSA and the 4WD came alive. However the output was making the TPS ecu input unstable and we decided at 2.30am to pack it up and concentrate our efforts on Marks car. Deciding that running the car while not 100% was not worth risking the chance of damaging it...so yes with only a few hours sleep that night we rocked up and set a new Aussie GTR record.

According to my mate in the white swift who was racing Mark it was forking awesome! He was nearly as excited about the GTR going past him like he was standing still as he was his 12.88.

I'll post the footage tonite. It's pretty funny to see the camera focused on the street-tyred Swift and then this black thing just screams past it out of nowhere taking up all the track and then some as it disappears into the distance.

can you please ring him and thank him, as if it wasnt for him agreeing to the lane swap the 8.0 would not have happened. I was doing 2rismo stlye organising behind the staging lanes as the official behind the tower would not allow us into the lane we wanted.

He mentioned that he'd agreed to swap lanes and I told him that having run an 8.0, Mark would be very appreciative. He's a good guy, young Paulie. He'll be king of the kids in GTi land.

    • 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.
