Oh and wreckedhead, 11.6 @ 120mph is a good time but consider the following:

BU5TER: 2.5l, TD-06 25G, RWD

JETT aka 'nicknick': 2.6l, T78-33D, AWD AND C16 Fuel !!!!!

:D

Oh and BU5TER went 11.7 @ 128mph with a 2.0 60ft .... When he runs 1.7 60' just you wait and see what happens...

Adrian

Thanks guys.  These std turbos work great, I dunno why everyone changes them for bigger ones?!?!?!

Adrian

Well done Adrian, nice work mate.

Indeed the standard turbo does work great, mind you when you add nitrous you'd expect it too. Hmmm... maybe I should get myself a 50hp kit too.

What's the bottle cost to fill, and how many passes per bottle?

So do you run it on the street? C'mon tell the truth now :)

The ONLY down side I can see in having gas (rather than a bigger turbo etc...) is you don't get to use the power whenever you want to. Say on a cruise in the hills, a full track day, the traffic light grand prix, and that sort of thing. I guess if you have a huge nitrous bottle it wouldn't be a problem. The legality issue isn't as much of a concern as what ISN'T illegal these days.

A bigger turbo AND gas is the best way to go.

Hmmm... cams or nitrous?

How quick is your car without the gas?

What's the bottle cost to fill, and how many passes per bottle?

10lb (D Size) bottle = $100.00 = 100hp for 100sec

So do you run it on the street? C'mon tell the truth now

No.

How quick is your car without the gas?

13.471 @ 104.56mph - (2.2 60')

Thanks for answering my constant questions Adrian :D

So do you know what rwkw gain your car makes on the gas (before/after fig's) ?

By the looks of things it makes a massive difference! An 11mph gain in TS is excellent.

$100 isn't bad at all, considering the number of passes that gives you. $1 per second doesn't sound as good though :)

It'll be very interesting to see how much quicker you'll go with a 100hp shot. With good traction the low 12's / high 11's (@ 120mph) may well be possible!

Cheers,

Matt

Holy shit i'd better not go out in public again the shame of a T78 powered GTR beating me by one 10th and at 120mph hahahaha is to much to take  :devfu:

dont worry my cars already having the twin plate clutch put in so next week hopefully it wont slip of the line and in third gear, but thats ok im not asshamed at 11.6, its not a bad time considering i only spent about a grand on the car since i bought it.

    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
