Not a skyline but is a car that i get to drive from time to time. My Skyline was entered but just refused to go to this one.... So with some negotiation I got to take the cop car for a spin. I also wanted to show you guys the fastest and most open Street Sprint we have up here. The track is in the sleepy little town of Oakey, just over 1 hour from Warwick, just west of Toowoomba. Craig weston pulled 2nd outright in his 32gtr from Ray Vandacey's Skelta, 3rd was a 351 escort sportsedan, 4th datto 1200 2A closed sports with a turbo & supercharged 4A, 5th a GT2 porsche, 6th My cop car on all nissan suspension, 7th Jason Black Nc BDA escort, 8th supercart, 9th Evil 4, 10th Off chops WRX. We did ok.

Might as well post some of my in car from PI a few weeks ago....

First is my new PB lap....the fist pump at the start finish line at the start of the lap was when I saw a high 47 flash up on my previous lap ;)

and this is a collection of some overtaking. First part is me trying to overtake a big single turbo R34 down the straight only to be passed like I was standing still by a 6.6ltr V8 powered 260Z ....middle part is me catching and passing a GT3 cup car and last part is an ex(?)-V8 supercar - we came out of the last corner side by side only for him to pull away down the straight using ubber killerwasps. Two corners later his lead disppeared thanks to corner speed and I was able to overtake.

Enjoy

Posted this elsewhere but thought I would throw it in here...

Paul Stokell in my car at QR on the sprint track (yes I can hear the yawns already lol)

53.48 with some casual water in the dipper and on crusty old second hand slicks

my favourite part is Paul's inside manoeuvre at Turn 1 (4:55)

I managed a 53.9 today, dry track (crusty second hand slicks also) and not that pretty a lap. caught myself out braking too deep into turn 5 whilst watched Aaron Hodges in his crazy Escort park it in the dirt at the hairpin of turn 6 (1:45-1:50)

yeah, all my Vbox timed laps are usually 0.3 - 0.5 off the QR system. But I don't get too upset as I assume everyone gets the same error, as long as the error is in the same direction!

not sure though how this works for accumulated laps though. imagine 0.5sec over 5-10 laps..... QR must be able to bend the space/time continuum.

I posted my Vbox times though as this is what I compare to Paul's benchmark.

The S7 Michelin compound we used today was second hand and went off in the arvo session like you wouldnt believe. Arvo session times were over a second a lap down on the morning session despite some cleaner driver.

nice work mate. looks like you must be punching out somewhere between 250 and 300awkw? not sure if the cup car was a 997 or 996 but the 996s only have high 200s (anywhere from 260-290kw) at the rears but they are a bit lighter than us but still the way it pulled away on the straight makes it look like you're doing a lot with what you have. :D

how fking quick was that zed too!!! he must have pushed the warp speed pedal next to the accelerator...

Thanks Baron and you are spot on re the firepower - last dynoed between 270-280 rwkw at Racepace (have to dig out the print to be sure) mid year. Entry list doesn't specify year of cup car so would have to check photos to work out the year - at the end of the day I'm just happy to put in a faster time than a cup car on slicks even if it is just driver related :D

As for the zed, a quick internet search has rumours of the 6.6litre V8 under the hood being an ex nascar engine pumping out around 700hp :bunny:

yeah I thought 996 cup car too. but they are still bullshit quick. like I said pretty limited in the power stakes (similar to your GTR ant) but with a purpose built motorsport chassis (chassis is built with cage integrated from the factory), much lighter and of course slicks etc. I have driven one and they are a serious piece of gear.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
