Godzilla Motorsport wishes you all the best on your endevour to beat theos 8.95 time...

regards, mark

Thanks Mark, we have always had the H pattern record in our sights...even if we don't go that quick to have a good meet and manage a PB with consistent runs backing it up would be a success.

I still haven't recieved the Quantum and Speedflow invoices as earlier requested, please forward them to my email account so i can transfer you the cash.

good luck in your future racing and the crack at the 7.56.

Yummo!

Car smells like thinners now though.

Given the high standard of Taryn's cullinary talents she could make the guniea p1g the neighbours dog was proudly marching around with in its mouth this afternoon taste a treat!

Id say someone in the street would have had some quite upset children returning home from school this afternoon.

sorry guys only just got internet access...

the small crack in the block that was repaired last time engine was freshened has opened up weeping coolant out. In the interests of my own and others safety i decided not to run the car. Looking back i probably should have grouted the block as the crack is below the bottom of the welsh plugs and grouting would have stopped it.

Its very strange as when the car was rolled back on Friday no coolant was leaking out of it. A little later i jacked the front of the car up in preparation for welding a lambda sensor bung at the base of the dump pipe and coolant started to drip from the rear of the engine. We stripped the engine on Friday night and tried to repair it but on Saturday morning started leaking again. Engine is now out and ill decide tomorrow if ill just grout it or replace the block with a fresh one.

Very disapointing for all involved with the car.

Unfortunate you couldn't make it today.

Is the car going to be heading back to the track at some point after repair ?...or will it now be taken out of action for good .

oh no we dont give in that easily...unfinished business needs to be attended to.

the car has never been set-up properly for drag racing until now...i couldn't live with the massive 'what if' by not running it again.

    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
    • nice work, welcome to the world of CAD! fabricating accurately in 3 dimensional space is beyond me....I almost always end up making something more than once...sorry I mean I extensively use prototyping
