N/A_r33 i was wondering if you would know of anyone where i could get fitted into my car a infinity v8 engine do u because a freind of mine tol me that i can get a v8 and i cant get an inline v8 because it would be too long

would u know anything about this

Hahahaha, awesome Paul glad u enjoyed it! I had it at a dyno day today and it managed to get a best of 233.6rwhp which i thought wasnt too shabby, suspect the dyno may be reading a little low though as i also took my mechanics ute there which usually gets around 400 atw and only managed 348, heat could have played a major factor though, either way im super impressed with the results, next trip is to willowbank on wed to see what all this translates too.

Cheers

John

Hey, well done John, it seems the conversion was well worth it, got any further plans for it? :headspin:

h8t_copsr32 : hey dude, there is no such thing as an inline or "straight" "v8" the "v" means that half the pistions are opposed by some sort of angle, i cant think of the right words to describe it, and neway 4 pistons on the top of one side of the V and the other 4 on the other side. I dont know neone who will be able to do the wiring for you fitment of the engine isnt that hard, getting hold of wiring diagrams for it is, and finding someone who can wire up the auto without the diagrams, even auto electricians will find it hard if not impossible.

sock: yes it has big plans mate, first on the list though is brakes, then i am deffering from uni for the second half of this year to work my arse off, for aftermarket managment and a supercharger. in the meantime i will try talk my dad into letting me put my nitrous system back in the car.

Well done on the conversion, nice to see a few more jap V8's getting around. My friend over here in WA has just finished his V8 VH41DE Silvia conversion and its a fantastic car. Sounds and performs great.

He had a bit more trouble than you no doubt having to squeeze it in a smaller bay. He had to stick to the standard headers because theres only a matter of a couple of cm's between the headers and the chassis members! But overall a helluva lot more fun than the CA18DET it used to have bolted in it :)

Great work!

Cheers, yeah no we couldnt stay with standard headers they simply wouldnt fir between the 33's rails, we had to make new ones that had a sharper turndown straight off the ports to gain extra clearance.

Brakes are gonna stay stocko for the time being i have run out of cash and now have a mountain run under my belt with the stocko brakes and bendix pads and they showed no sine of fade so other things are going to take priority.

60ft time was 2.116, off the line the car is appauling, the stall point is way to low, i bring the revs up ne higher then 1500 and it will sit on the line rotating the rear tyres slowly. I talked to my mechanic and next on the list is a stall convertor, he said i have the mph and hp if i can get it off the line and get a stall convertor i should be able to acheive low 13's high 12's so thats next on the list. After i get the best possible time out of it i will add the gas and see how she goes.

sweet job on the conversion John i cant wait to see it in the flesh...err.... metal.....

just thought id add there is such a thing as a inline8 or straight 8 as they are caled... they were in the ultra oldschool buicks and some chevys i think..... ive seen a straight 8 out of a buick anyway... looks weird as lol..... hook up the gas and watch the times tumble... :)

Awesome conversion mate.I just bought me mum a nissan infiniti and this thing flys for a luxury car.Same thing you found is that it needs to stall more in order to get off the line better.Anyhows im after all your left over infiniti stuff so please let me know if you have anything left or want to get rid of ie. ashtray and xenon headlights panels etc if it has them

Cheers Adrian

Not for the car itself, but ive had very very bad luck with the body kit and im sick of it, im getting a new front bar so it looks good again, get it in a magazine (my goal before i started and once thats done i will have achieved most of what i set out to do when i bought the car. If I keep it it has big plans but im just evaluating wether or not its justifiable spending anymore money on it.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
