Nah not gonna make it to Jambo, trying to get the car ready for the next Andra meet at Mackay so the car can be inspected and get my license all passed out that way there will be nothing stopping us from going flat out.

Yeah Mike the engine does sounds incredible and the way it revs is unbelievable so quick and smooth and the classic RB bark when it hits boost always makes me smile every time i drive it. Mark at Godzilla Motorsport has out done himself on this engine it is truly one awesome bit of gear and that's why he is Australia's quickest, top work i give him two thumbs up lol thumbsup.gifthumbsup.gif!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's some more progress pics, parachute bracket is made just has to be TIG welded up and painted looks pretty good. The new dry sump tank arrived and is nearly completed, came up pretty good, not a lot of room but we made it work. Now she is all legal for ANDRA just waiting for the license paperwork to come back then its time to burn some rubber and go get ourselves a 9sec slip.

so considerate of nissan to put 2 tow hooks on the rear that sit proud of the bar for simple parachute installation. :)

looks great. can't wait too see some fast times. :)

Update time

After our last drag meet, Andra decided to let us run flat out providing we put a Kevlar blanket on the Tranny (one time offer) then after that we must comply with the new Andra rule book and make a 6mm steel scatter shield for the flywheel. So at the moment he engine and box have been dropped out getting some more and improved mods and some more go fast bits (but i will keep them secret for now). We have nearly achieved our goal with the 19 inch Advans, 10.1sec @ 141mph with 1.5sec 60ft., the 60ft is the surprising part as you would normally get them times on 16 or 17 mickey thompson's ET's . Had a fairly big headwind that night and the track conditions were slippery will try for a 9 sec on the 19's later on. Next time we go out we will be running the 17 inch Enkei RPF1's with the 275 Mickey Thompson ET's. and will push for a low 9sec. Tested the parachute out, works like a treat very happy with the way it performs, definitely need it now as we are nearly pushing 150mph.

Here's some pics and vids, my favorite one is the 4th gear burnout puts the local falcodore's to shame, can do a awesome skid look out powerskid comp at Powercruise the N1 is coming to make lots of smoke.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
