it's well known cars in US (even Japan) are always a good .3 -.5 sec quicker down the strip compared to what you can achieve on aussie soil - like for like

i think the main reason is the way they measure roll out, which on a hard launched awd car is a noticeable time advantage

Martin's 10.3 for eg would be close to a 10 flat on a US drag strip

a more accurate comparison when looking at acceleration times from different countries is the 60-130mph

Its easy to make big power out of these stock engines. The trick is to keep the stock rods inside the engine over the vehicles life......

Getting a one-off drag number isnt so hard if you put your mind to it. It certainly impresses a lot that dont understand the risks, and the massive potential cost, involved

Why you would spend 10's of thousands of dollars on modifications for an extra 0.1 to 0.3 of a second over a 1/4 mile is beyond me. Especially with these kind of results with just a mid pipe and tune. A good video this one, some nice shots taken from inside and outside the car.

That's exactly right. People who spend that kind of money to get such a miniscule increase in performance (which they would hardly ever use anyway) don't do it because it actually makes any sense, they simply do it because they can! :yes:

Sorry off-topic.

Hey Domino, how did you install your rear diffuser fins? Did you have to drill the carbon panel under the car?

I like the look and should reduce soot on the back of the car. Did you find any difference?

Thanks.

i get absolutely zero soot daily driving on e85, that's the best solution to reducing carbon emissions..... or Martin should have the new injector end pulse tables for cobb which may help on 98 Ron

im not sure what part you're referring too

I am running the top racing carbon lower diffuser which replaces the oem part

These are the hks kansai diffuser fins I bought a while ago. I haven't installed them yet, looks like you have to drill into the oem carbon diffuser. I had to paint the leading edge on both pieces matte black as they were quite rough looking with excess resin

but i can't see how either part could possibly reduce soot

Hey Dom -

Yup, that's the one - the Kansai diffuser fins. I thought you had installed that (saw your NAGTROC post).

Apart from the the good looks, the diffuser fins should extend the turbulent wake further behind the car at high speed, therefore reducing accumulation of exhaust output onto the rear face of the car. It should therefore reduce drag and improve rear downforce in conjunction with the rear upper spoiler.

^ Whoop-dee-do!

What would that cost the average consumer... just to put things into perspective.

Around $5K all up is what most GTR retailers will sell this kind of package for depending on existing mods already in place (ie. exhaust etc). and what brand parts they use. Not bad for a daily driven 10 second car :)

Many different kits from many different parts upgrade manufacturers to do this on these great cars. GTRs are a great base, which is why we all like them so much here.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
