What happened to the r31?

He had over heating issues all day and eventually ended up with a blown motor.

But he has an RB30 twin cam waiting to go in it so he didnt really care about the old RB20 giving up.

Oh awesome Vid Jon..But I dont think that is me :( That's Jay the other white GTR cause I never saw that R34 on the track..but I heard Jay mention it :)

Jay and I where both getting happy on those ripple strips up the top :)

Aww really? Ah yeah, after looking at the full resolution video again it looks like the number plate is SIG-80E or something like that.. Oops! :(

Yeah not sure if i'm a fan of the new ripple strips... :)

So that's what my car looks like from behind ;)

Sorry to hear about all the breakages. I managed to get away with only a split intercooler pipe (15 year old original) and an airy brake pedal (needs another bleed).

Great day, improved heaps and thanks to all the peeps that made it happen :)

Well DAMN!!!!! Why the hell did i spend all that coin on a big build. turbo's cams etc etc.

Just looking through this thread The only modification required is "hand timing" :P

(sneaks back over the border)

:D

If you can afford it, the absolute best mod is a "bum" lap timer. Made by the same group that released the "bum dyno".

I spoke to the company who sells them, and my 1:18 hand timed, should be a very accurate 1:07 on the bum lap timer :)

ha ha im gald they make both products cause once you make a bum power figure you need a bum timer to give you times that match the power!

Jay, you drove past VZ SS and me on the Freeway on way home when we were pulled over on the side!

And I think you were MUCH quicker than your 1.13 in your sig!!!

Sorry about not stopping, didn't recognise you guys, hope all was good.

Should be much quicker now after I was shown the fastest way to go around the corners. Definately felt alot quicker :)

:P I wanted it to be me aswell ...Anymore vids Jon...You had some good lines on the track :D Well Done

did those cable ties hold up??

I like the big ripple strips I got pretty airborne up the top when I was chasing Boz ;)

I think it was on its last legs..But pretty sure the owner wanted it to die cause he has a better motor to go in it ;)

Yep! The cable ties did beautifully thank you :)

All hail the mighty cable tie!

I've got plenty more video, it takes me a bit of time to chop it all up because the original video is 1920x1080i resolution (about 190MB per minute!!), so it takes some time to compress it down to a downloadable size..

I only regret not getting some footage from outside the car, it's all in-car unfortunately. I was also lucky enough to have clear track ahead of me for a lot of the time, so it havent got that much 'chase' footage.. I'm browsing through now.. I'll see what I can find of other peoples cars

I hear that mod makes you chop atleast 8 seconds off your time, with no need for improved driving skills at all!! I wonder why no-one ever bothered to bolt one up when official timing was still in play :P:)

On a topical note, some of those pics are fantastic!!

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
