Same thing I thought incidentally with 600rwkw dyno pony...

Put a GT35 on it, then there would be interesting... If you can keep it pointed in the general direction of forward of course :D

It will have weight advantage on it's side though to be fair. It's a SL or similar so IIRC they are around 1250-1280 stock which isn't bad. Final weight would be interesting with the heavy Ford 9" but reduced fuel tank etc.

Didnt notice the 9" part.

LOL 9" diff in a VL that is a "circuit car" and not a drag car

Did some google, looks to have some sort of 4 link in the back but thats about it...Cant find any real details about from "it makes 11ty horsepowers"

Variety is the spice of life!

Good to see more than just a bunch of evo, wrx and gtr's going around.

That said, I don't think it will set any records. If it adds aero and some good sized rubber, it could be reasonably quick.

At a recent supersprint at EC, the old Larry Perkins VL Group A racecar reeled off a 1:48, so I would expect this VL to be similiar and perhaps a bit quicker. 1:45's?

I say 10 :)

At least the ba had v8 supercar suspension.

And tyres they are twice as wide lol.

I did notice in the pics the VL is on full slicks...might be even more intersing once he throws some semis on it.

Standard VL guards are tiny....he would be lucky if he could get 235's under it at that ride height

Googled him:

Street Commodores says, "Jason is currently fitting up his 12in wide ROH wheels and mid-way through a wide-body conversion to help the car in the aerodynamics and traction department"

And on calaisturbo the owner said it's "1380kg with driver before the nine inch, so bloody heavy with that in". He also said he hasn't driven it with this engine/power or on semis.

I couldn't find any times for the car except drag and dyno results.

What do people think about this entry? Absolutely flying at Mallala recently and with more power and room to wind up it should be quick!

Also has too much horsepower to be useable.

Look at the Pro Class cars, with the Exeption ofMark Berry and Lofty most of the quick cars had around 550hp give or take.

No need for 800hp circuit cars...espesially RWD ones.

Sold the car

Really?

Was only talking to him and is was sitting in the shed not that long ago. They decided to give WTAC a miss this year.

Lofty is a busy boy playing with his stupid fast Toyota Starlet in IPRA atm which does 42's around the creek with a restrictor :thanks:

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
