Sorry mate, I didn't include Falken Azenis that we use at track days! On standard rubber in its previous form, we have managed a 1.06.03 from this car, so we are hoping that sub 60 is within reach. If everything falls into place, it will be ready for the next track day to find out!

I have to agree with the others, sub 60 sec is a big commitment in a road reg car even with the best conditions. Good luck with the project. I will be watching with interest.

Been sourcing the kit for the 34 and just getting used to the new set up..

Also have purchased the new bonnet. Gone with the ADR approve Blits one. Should arrive tomorrow!

Also going to QR for Time Attack tomorrow, be our first chance to really wind it up. Be interesting to see how it goes.

  • 2 weeks later...

After a shakedown at QR, we found that the factory inlet to the turbo was heating up and constricting, limiting air flow. So Ivan and the guys at Hi Power Racing manufactured a new inlet pipe and here are the results.

To say that we are pleased would be a massive understatement!

377.8HP @1.5 bar. :P

We have also started on the suspension, replacing the links & bushes with Nismo items.

The red front bar is just to keep it all legal until the new one arrives!

Snozzle, we pinched that cluster out of our red R34 and it came like that from Japan, so sorry mate - no extra details on that one unfortunately!

The boost is all over the place yet such a good figure of power :)

Ivan has explained to me that the boost drop is due to us retaining the standard manifold - that keeps things interesting!

That was also just a run in Shootout mode to see what we could get out of it, here are the tuning runs.

As in standard exhaust manifold? I'm running the standard exhaust manifold on my GTRS and it holds boost fine with a slight drop towards redline of a couple of psi. With your HKS EVC I would have thought you could get it to hold perfectly.

Is there any adjustability in the Nismo arms?

It doesnt look like there is any at all.

No adjustment in the Nismo arms, the geometry of the setup is designed for performance driving. Trying to get a balance between performance and comfort, while keeping the car road legal.

have you got any runs with the AFR's on it?

No runs with the AFR's that I have seen, but the guys at HPR should have them somewhere. I'll try to track them down.

Got the car back and just went for the first run with the extra neddies and new suspension components... is good.

It felt quick before, but you get a really good shove from it now. Even more importantly, you are coming on boost at 2800rpm and it winds straight out to 1.6bar and the engine just spins out to the redline.

The whole car feels very solid mid corner and it particularly impressive coming out the other side, really getting the power through to the ground.

Will be getting on to the bodywork next...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
