Hi fellas,

Hope everyone is well - not long now till the start of your season whilst ours draws to a close here in the UK.

Well after 11 8.1's this year finally after some further mods we have cracked the 7's & have Europes first ever 7 sec skyline :(

Ran at the weekend & completed 3 runs in total & all 7's

1st 7.93 @ 171

2nd 7.78 @ 172

3rd 7.75 @ 175

After all the hard work & learning this year i'm over the moon :D

First 2 runs were at 2 bar boost & the third at 2.2, 3rd would have been quicker if i had changed gear better.

We run again next week in our last official competition of the year, we have more boost to go yet & could connect nos up (but not so sure we will until next year) so may get those times down a bit further still.

Here's some piccies from the weekend

cheers

John

WOOOHOOOO!!!!

Mate, that is a truly outstanding effort and very well deserved/earned.

Congratulations and don't forget to let us know how you get on in competition. What are some of the vehicles in your class?

Cheers Adrian mate

This weekend we crossed back over to main stream racing & took part in super pro ET (bracket dial in racing 6.99 - 8.99 secs)

next week back to Jap racing & heads up :(

well done guys, numbers falling consistently now and the more data collected means its ony going to go quicker. once you get the chassis sorted and keep those front wheels on the track it will only go faster again.

Bring on the 7.0s

thanks guys & as soon as we saw 7's on the board it makes it feel worth all the time, effort & grief :P

Quick vid here (2nd run in qualifying, before anyone gives me grief about reaction times it was only qualifying :laughing-smiley-014: )

Have some better quality ones being put together over the next couple of weeks.

This weekends competition is not looking good weatherwise at the moment which is a real pain as may well be the last opportunity we get to run on a decent track surface before winter is here but there's always next year.

I personally 100% want to bring this car to Oz for the Perth & Sydney Summer Nationals & can guarantee we will in 2010. I'm glad now we didn't bring it over this year as it was just to soon & we had far to much work to do & things to learn & same story next year where the car will be developed a lot lot further.

When we do bring it over in 2010 i want it to be running serious consistent times so it's worth the trip & also something for you to see. Would be amazing if when we bring it over then we could run with the serious Aus/NZ cars at the same meets.

Thanks

John

Awesome result mate. It will be interesting to see where it ends.

Funny thing about this thread, I actually just finished watching the animated movie "cars" before I logged in, The front of your skyline looks straight from the movie. :wacko:

well bugger :rofl:

surprise surprise crap weather hits another event :)

can't believe we havnt got webbed feet & webbed hands in the Uk with the amount of bloody rain we see :(

No racing at all weekend just gone as inches & i mean inches of rain over the weekend flooded the pod so i reckon that's us for this year.

1 more trip out for the car in November at santa pods end of season closing down fireworks day/night but very doubtful we will run quick times in November as will be pretty cold here unless we strike it lucky.

As soon as that's over back to the drawing board to think up some ideas to get more out of the old girl for next year.

Hope you fellas have a great & safe season & be great to see The Godzilla Motorsports 32 get quicker & also see Reece move the 32 forward again as competition really drives everything forward.

Good luck Adrian - be great to see you hit some good times mate.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
