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

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
