I'm getting a 2.8 engine build done by HKS here in Sapporo and got a call from one of the guys to see if I could come out today. I was supposed to go out yesterday to discuss the build but had to change that to this sunday, so thinking this was just going to be disccusion on the build etc I headed out about 2pm.

Well, what can I say but WOW...!! It turns out that the owner of Option magazine in Japan has organized a high speed 300kph over test run of the GTR35 with a few of Japans top Tuners. Supposedly there are 5 cars coming for the test, the ones that are already here are HKS Kansai, Garage Saurus another shop from Tokyo (cant rember their name as too excited) supposedly Top Secret and Mines are coming as well. Its going to be a magazine and option Dvd shoot for editions early next year so keep your eyes out for it. The owner of Option is going to be doing alot of the driving and is supposed to be famous high speed test driver.

The track is out on the south eastern part of Hokkaido near place called Mukawa and is oval banked high speed course. They chose here as they beleive the cool/cold temps here will be good for max high speed test. We have had a warmish week with lots of snow melting and forecast is for fine cold day so hopefully things will be perfect.

I got to hang around for couple of hours while they put white 35 on the dyno for tuning and power test...Where are the pics you ask..well I tried but was told it therewas absolute no chance of pics and tomorrows test is closed track except for tuners and option crew only. The car being tuned was from the garage I cant rember the name but what I could find out was, there were few mods with after market exhaust,turbo boost mod and few tweaks on computer management. To be honest it would of been easier getting blood out of a stone than prying info from these guys but I can tell you this car was consistenly putting out 610ps run after run and the engine and exhaust soon was bloody awesome.

My mate at HKS is cheif mechanic/manager at HKS Sapporo and said he will give me an update on it all this sunday.

All I can say it was big buzz to see this car being tuned and cant wait to here how tomorrow goes.

Yep..been a bit slow catching up on work etc and been busy as blue arse fly but here goes..

Ok as it turns out Mines and Top Secret didnt come up but there were 5 GTR's that came up from Honshu for the speed run including HKS Kansai, Garage Saurus , HKS Technical Workshop Tokyo plus 2 others I have to get the details as was pretty hungover when I went out and caught up with my mate Hiroyuki form HKS sapporo..

The weather was mild for this time of year..5-6c max and sunny all day, so they had great conditions. HKS Kansai had the fastest top speed for the day cracking 320kph with when you look at it , pretty mild mods and pretty much standard body . The others were around the 310kph mark.

My mate got to take one for a run and was so impressed with the way the car stuck to the track and said it was brilliant to drive.

Pretty impressive when you think what it costs in mods to get a 32,33 or 34 up to these speeds.

Anyway this is all 2nd hand from my mate as it was a closed track but there will be a DVD and magazine spread from Option coming out in Jan next year sometime..

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
