This is why the car was back in the workshop, the owner is a tuner here and he tunes alot of R35 GTR's and Nissan Patrol's etc etc he owns a nitto stroker r32gtr with 1200hp at wheels as well...

If you win this competition, the one i went on NYE you win a Brand New Toyota FJ Land Cruiser ! big money up for grabs! hence the pro mod engines in the cars, there are 2 classes, 6cyl and 8cyl. the 6 cyl's have up to 1800hp !!

Winner of the 6 cyl was a V6 Buick and cannot remember what car won the V8 class. Its a very very big sand hill, 52deg up hill, it was amazing everyone brings their turbo buggys and banshee's and raptors and even LSX powered buggys and cruises around.. these guys here really know how to live it up and have some fun with all kinds of toys!

ohhh wow the thread is sticky now! cool :) I will have to post up some stuff

f**king hell! it's a long way down when you loose it at the top of a run. :( poor bloke. cage can't have been too bad though since he did live to tell about it. you don't really get an idea of just how steep it is till the end of the vid when you can see the flat ground at the bottom where people are standing waiting to come up and help. it looked like it just hooked a bit of a sharp turn at the end of his run. probably the most dangerous part of the whole thing is turning around at the top...

yeah when he was showing me the video he was saying "i cant look at it i cant look at it"

They take things to the next extreme here.. I just cant wait to get into the Sheikh's LS1 powered buggy we have here at the workshop atm. its a 4 seater and it lives most of its time on power on 2 wheels :)

Here is a Nissan Patrol I tuned, actually I had alot to do with this one, the previous tuner could not get the tune right so it needed some GT loving, i found alot of problems with the car that i got them to change etc etc

676hp at wheels on 1.3 bar. The gearbox lasted about 5 minutes on first test run, but the replacement box seems to be holding up okay now.

Its a Nissan TB48DE, its got some mild cams in it, stock head.. forgies and rods, 1000cc injectors, Motec M600, it sounds like a stock standard Nissan Patrol untill the boost comes on, there are 2 big external wastegates in the exhaust with small springs on them, so when the car comes on boost the wastegates open and bang no back pressure to make the power, its pretty cool they dont like loud cars here because the police give out fines etc etc...

The engines have VCT exactly like the RB25, and they are pretty similar to tune like a RB25 except they love ignition timing, such big bore and stroke makes a world of difference.

yeah car is full weight with stereo and spare wheel and carpets and everything.... my best 60 was 3 weeks ago with 1.58

Shit the gear means i nearly shit my pants when the car was grab walking from the wall to the center line and back all the way up the quarter mile because i am not using front runners with drag slicks.

Was not keen to experience that again. going to buy some suitable front wheels and tyres and find some stock suspension this was done with cheap JJ G4 coil overs!... (Yes 2rismo you were right) :)

    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
