cheers guys, sorry no extra pics,ive recently started going to uni up in toowoomba and the car is living in brissy still which is limiting my spare time. Will be completely finished and on display at mini jam in 2 weeks time will take a heap of photos then. Sorry no videos of it, dont know how to put them on the computer without a digital camera.

Hi there,

Just thought you might be interested in this water methanol kit I'm purchasing to run permanenty on my r33. Will be running 50/50 water methanol and hope to reap the benefits os 110+ ocane all day every day! It has an electronic controller with laptop programmable maps so should be interesting...

Won't be installing for awhile though.

Also on the subject of dyno runs - if you get the tyres to sit on top of the front roller it won't matter how little or much weight you've got in the boot - the force of the dyno run will be pushing down on the tyres. I've had my car dynoed both ways and had wheelspin at only 340rwhp when sitting between the rollers. When sitting on top of the front roller the tyres actually ran cooler too.

Dyno dynamics have certain set ways of stting up their dynos and it's quite interesting.

Anyway - have fun

Cheers

cheers mate will certainly do some more research into that. and try some different things on the dyno.

Had a busy weekend finishing off the interior and dash, heres some pics, for the street ill be running standard seat belts and hopefully a pair of GTR seats for street use, for praticality and less of the wrong kind of attention (if thats possible).

from the two short drives from home to the work shop i had it was pretty silly, mind u it still had the race pipe on it so id say u would have been able to hear the thing from a 5k radius of it.

excellent write up, years in the making and continuosly updated, someone link the feature from ZOOM up, will further benifit the post, and give an understanding of all the mods

Mini Jam hey?? cool, i'll be there

Gonna run it there?

Thanks mate. good luck with the conversion. there an absolutely unreal engine, and super tough in stock form.

UPDATE: 11.56 @ 118mph temp was 27 and relative alttitude only a little under 2000 so there is still more left in it.

Did the photoshoot for zoom this week as well so look out for it in the next couple of issues, not sure what month yet.

The decision has been regrettably made to de-register the car and build a full tube frame front end with walk off fiberglass nose, 4 link rear end and tubbed. Will still keep build progress though. This will all be started after winternats ready for the next season. For the immediate future we are investigating a bigger stall convertor to get it off the line harder and switching to methanol.

I,m going to look at a vh41de half cut today .It will be for my blue r31 wagon . Prefer the 4.1 ltr so that i can race in " E " engine size class at the salt lake ( 184 - 260 c.i. or 3000-4260 cc ) .

So maybe picking someones brain soon :rofl: , but wont be a pest .

Awesome, no worries mate will be glad to help, i cant remember the exact website but if you search for nico, stands for nissan infinity owners group, a very valuable source of information as well.

Update on Blacky while im at it:

Stocko fuel tank and all extras removed, picked up sponsorship from Mr Muffler Sumner Park, Finished of the new exhaust last weekend, 1 7/8" Primaries 4 into 1 3 1/2" out of the collectors, found the pulse length of the exhaust and cut it there. Got them all HPC coated, Solid Mounted the engine. Changed The whole fuel system, Cut the boot floor out and changed it too a flat alloy floor mounted the 12 gallon race Cell Currently still using the single bosch 044 but will be switching to twin 044's after winter nats when we switch to methanol. Upgraded all the fuel lines and modified the fuel rails to take higher flow. Added a methanol capable Aeromotive fuel reg, Whole system uses Stainless Braid with all speedflo fittings, im now broke again and saving for the next stage :P Will gets some photos towards the end of the week when im back in brissy.

Will be back on the dyno for a retune with the new exhaust and fuel system on saturday, hoping to pick up some more power with the free-er flowing exhaust. Will let u all know how it goes.

BTW selling my 32 if neone is interested or knows someone that is, i now need a tow car.

Thanks Cyrus

OK:

Shell be in issue 103 of Zoom so keep ur eyes out for it....

Exhaust finished, boot now has a flat floor with a big fuel cell ill try get some photos this weekend.

Dyno prooved interesting, made less power overall. about 3 to be precise, but made a little more through the mid range (that the dyno indicated) took the car for a quick lap round the block... and it is definately going way harder then it was previously so i guess we'll just wait till i take it down the track on saturday to see if its better or worse.

Things learnt though, need bigger ignition system, looking at a MSD DIS and big coils, gonna need some much bigger injectors and a second possibly 3rd pump for methanol, dyno tuner is confident that with methanol and more boost we could potentially see 200-300 more hp@wheels.... should make it go slightly faster.

UPDATE!!!

Well guys the proof is certainly there, the dyno results did not proove nething!! Slightly less peak power and marginally more mid range you would expect the car to run basically the same time, with the extra weight that was pulled out of it maybe a marginally better time. But when put into practice the old exhaust system was choking the car in the top end, not showing up on the dyno becuase the car did not run for a longer enough period of time for excess back pressure in the exhaust to build up and become a problem.

New Time 11.22 @ 123mph... Still more left in it in its current state, we can also put a little more timing on, but didnt get enough runs tonight to play with it. Basically just testing for winternats... Absolutely stoked!! In its current state i am quietly confident the a 10 Second pass is achieveable. This also means that after the nats, when we change to methanol and give it tube frame front end and fiberglass noes the car is definately going to be in the good part of the 10's without even touching the boost... Now for a Stock Engine that is absolutely amazing.. Methanol will only make it more reliable...

Ill be keeping taking loads of pics and keeping a diary of all the work as a i have done to date with car. Absolutely stoked, again the blood sweat and tears have paid off, im still buzing 3 hours later!! Absolutely stoked!!

You heading out Saturday for testing as well as Sunday for the Winter warm up???

I will be out there with GTR_Cam (now Evo_Cam) on Saturday.

Hopefully meet up for a chat

EDIT: Nice time shows the potential of this car to improve, the improvement you will get from suspension set up will result in even more improvement!!!!

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
