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??

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
