Hey sports fans,

I had an intersting day in Miami (well west of Miami) at the Top Gun Run- Miami Mile.

www.topgunrun.com

The event was held at a private airport... it was very fast and the furious "race warz"!!! ha ha ha...

lots of top end cars, with some serious modifications!!! No less than a dozen vipers (8 were forced induction), 6 forced induction Lambo's, 5 brand new GTR's, 4 GT40's and a bunch of other exotics...

I was invited by Trevor from wizard of nos http://www.noswizard.com/ ... who buy the way set up the world class, record setting nitrous kit in 12minutes. Trevor was there to run some new equipment on Performance Power's 1400hp twin turbo GT40. Insane!!

The car runs around 10.5:1CR, boost spikes to around 37psi, twin precision turbo 75mm turbo's AND 100hp jetted shot of gass... Nut's just nuts. The car struggles for traction at 200mph in 6th gear!

The first clean pass for the day resulted in 232mph.

Then an hour later, with no set up changes other than activating the nitrous the car ran 252mph- with a missed 4th gear and average launch!!!

I belive 252mph is the standing mile record for USA and I'm fairly shure the rest of the world...

Here's a few pictures:

Yeah it was absolutly mental!!! It actually makes you sad to see that only 200 or 300 people spectators turned up to watch. But there was 80 odd entrants for the event...

These yanks throw some serious cash at top end cars!

Also, the only skyline GTR at the event ended up with a hole in the block as big as your fist!!! But his first run was 192mph..!

Cheers

PS Off to moroso next month.

Unfortunatly I didn't take my big camera.

But check out http://www.mysmokinride.com for the full story soon!

I belive there is another mile event next month. If it's close I'll try and cover it with some better shots.

Wow they throw some serious coin at those cars. Must of sounded amazing out there.

Yeah... Insane amounts of money. Alot of wealthy people with really cool toys!!! Actually the guy that won last year was really pissy that hiss heffernan twin turbo'd 08 Lambo got beaten. It had veeeery big turbo's on it too... from a rolling start, it took 60 or 80 feet just to come onto boost! He's now looing at a full wizard of nos nitrous set up.

It blows me away the kind of money people are throwing at these things.... And I work on SUPERYACHTS!!! ha ha ha the biggest rich boy toys of all.

There is somthing like 700k in the development of the GT40.

goes ok. i can understand why he missed a gear, imagin the nerves

Naa Johnny was overly exited more than nervous.

We're going back out to hopefully take the record to 270 on sunday.

This time I will be there to make sure that they don't negate my "boost by gear" system by running too much boost in the lower gears.

That's my sleeper Infiniti M30 (leopard) with L28et in the background.

Well sports fans, the record was re-set at 266mph by the Hoffman GT40 last week... Unfortunatly I didn't attend (work... blahh).

I'm shure Performance power/ Johnny are keen to get it back.

Exiting times for standing mile!!!

Cheers

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
