its a custom built RB32 from signature performance in Ipswich, Mick built it and drives it and has had it for the 3 or 4 years i have known him. Noel knows more about power figues and the like but it is very impressive. He had a lot of trouble getting the power down

Not sure what boost/power he was running at superlap but it has made 650rwhp on 21psi but around QR he only runs alot less boost due to wheelspin (which I believe is around 400-450rwhp).

I'll tell him about this thread this afternoon as he's tuning my car atm.

Its a work in progress. Mik had this car running some quite handy times at time attack.

An 11th hour decision to upgrade for super lap saw about 2 months of the most intense upgrades you could imagine.

Home made carbon fibre doors bonnet etc, Dog box, chromolloy cage, weight reduction and so much more.

Unfortunately time was against them and the car lacked development time to get the handling side properly sorted.

It augers well for next year however with all the hardware in place and a superlap visit under the belt I think you can expect much bigger and better things from this team next year.

anyone notice all the steam inside the r34 in the photo on the last page! hahaha

and water coming out the sill

Have a look just ahead of the right rear wheel in this photo ...

It was quick boz but i never thought I would hate the sound I hated worse than a drag rotor until i heard that f**ken noisy pos. :)

hey guys.... ive been up all night tossing and turning and thinking about next years superlap.. and my car....

why are there so many rules for Open... but Pro is invite only??

i want to move my engine back 15cm and section out the firewall... but this is not allowed in Open as the factory firewall must remain?? is that right??

but i cannot enter into Pro on my own accord as its invite only and spots are limited... is that right??

what can i do?? who can i talk to??

do i just do it and run some quick times at track days and hope for an invite??

pro just says no tube frame chassis or tube frame extensions on the chassis.... doesnt say

moving the engines around is allowed in japanese time attack..

i dont want a sports sedan category either... 15cm is hardly making it a sports sedan.. the original dash and everything will remain.. the firewall will just be sectioned back to the windscreen level..

if the original firewall must remain does that mean i cant section out bits to allow a pedal box to be mounted as far forward as possible??

    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
