yeah everyone knows the zed is as heavy as a house and underpowered like my alloy dingy with small outboard, but chop all the metal away and leave just rolling shell with that motor and away you go.

So the excuses are coming back now. Last year everyone thought we had big stuff done but was not really and still wasn't stripped out then.

I showed Christian my competition yesterday in Gary's R32 GTR, which is also stripped out and has more mods than my car. Has a Stack dash in it and bigger mods such as bigger turbo's, cams, sequential gear box, proper full cage etc. So not exactly apples for apples. My car has better aerodynamics with after market wings and things and an alloy tank but that is it. I have a second blade with gerni strip being made as well as carbon fibre front winglets for more down force.

Duncan, standard a 4 seater Zed which mine is weighs more than that, factory, according to my USA sales brochures I have say manual 3474 pounds, auto is more. I think this works out to be 1579kg? They have more sound deadening than the Skylines, heavier drive train by miles and more electronics, heavy electric seats, glass roof etc. They are low fat things, with potential though. R32 GTR are the lightest as you prob know. Duncan they say when you take weight out of the car in proportion the straights get shorter, the brakes grow in size and the corners are faster.

Re GTR bits, yes they keep coming up as options and bless Nissan as they make it easy being able to fit parts from one car to the other, such as the cam buckets I am using. Very few parts are made for zeds yet many parts Nismo and others make parts that we are finding which are not listed but actually fit straight on. We are finding lots of parts fro GTS-T same.

Yes Merli it is still a Zed. Imagine if I called it a GTR, that would be sacrilege and I would be banned from SAU.

I met him at the drags a while back, he's not a bad guy in person and he was racing hahaha

Though he seems to be very much under the impression da GTR can never lose hahahaha I was hoping to show him what a old gtst can do once i'm back, why should you guys have all the fun :D

Oh and mate i'm real happy with my chosen motorsport, I'd probably get sea sick just watching you guys go around all those corners, its got me stuffed what they're even doing on a race track hahaha :P

cough and the BU5TER has no engine at the moment cough

Don't necessarily need a GTR to beat the Zed, just a good balanced car and a good steerer, the question is, is there any better than John on the day.

Just about anybody is capable, ON THEIR DAY.

Negative.

I know most people on here, even on their best day, won't beat a trained and experienced driver (e.g. John)....... even on their best days.

It's all about racing experience, and previous driver training on a race circuit.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
