News Break

The Australian V8 Taxi racing series will become a little less boring next year with the anouncement that Nissan will be racing in the series from 2013.

Hope they don't do too well or they'll be banned....again :nyaanyaa:

It's good to see nissan back in mainstream australian motorsport, but don't expect a gtr to be racing.

with the 'car of the futture' setup next year, all makes will be running the same or near-same chasis, engine, running gear & suspenstion. The only thing that will change are the badges and the plastic body kits.

Exactly.

Aka NASCAR.

Which does produce some good racing.....its not uncommon to have to races, and 10 different winners while having 40 different race leaders.

As long as they dont start oval tracks...ill probably follow the sport lol

Cool!! bring it on..

The video says 'sedan', and 'nissan engine'.. So maybe it will be a V36 sedan with VQ45 or something?

Or maybe a v37? Who knows.. It will make things less boring thats for sure..

Not quite.

The silhouette (body) will be based on the Nissan Ultima. The engine will be a nissan factory design, however dont get too excited....it will be a 'complying' engine. That is to say it has to have 8 cylinders, it has to have xxxx displacement, it has to have no more than xxx hp, it has to run x fuel etc etc etc....so it will basically be an engine design equivilent to both the holden and ford are running now

so what your saying bard is that the engine designers at nissan require a full frontal labotamy just to be on the design team

No mullet, no job :P

guys.... nissan already make v8s.

it'll be a vh/vk50de or something like that

it wont be.

Yeah, because those engines are able to comply with the rules right?

negative.

The engine they will be using is a fresh desgin. Having said that, its VERY much based on what the category already uses.

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
