Hi John

I've meet you few times at UAS, John told me about this thread, will be good to see how this car progresses, subsribed

I'm a big fan of the blue front bar in the above video... Do you know who makes it?

It is a custom bar that was made by Phil Coles ( who drove the combined touring car ) and the guys at BSM for this car when it was still racing in IPRA

I've got a body and paint shop that I use in Sydney called Bodytech... They can get it done quick and do a fantastic job... I might give Pete a call and see what he reckons...

Haha! I was lucky to last the race, we had 4 x 15minute qualifying sessions, I was rooted... Qualified 6th ... Limped home in 10th. The body couldn't take it. I need to get fit for the race car!!

Having gone through another few projects in the past and "trying" to keep control of the costs, my aim was to try and get about 400rwkw at 20psi as we think this should be "safe"... 440rwkw at about 2

Marko... It's called a safety factor. The goal was to run about 400rwkw @ 20psi as a run in tune.

The car is getting completely rewired mid - late January and then I want to get it out for some practice runs...

your saftey factor results in 440kw...... F@$k'n AWESOME

Having gone through another few projects in the past and "trying" to keep control of the costs, my aim was to try and get about 400rwkw at 20psi as we think this should be "safe"... 440rwkw at about 23 psi is pretty good but I do not want to push the motor as it is a fresh rebuild.

I'll get it out for some private practice and get a few kms then we might look at whatever the restrictions are and then push a bit harder. The turbo should be good for around 900hp at the flywheel?

Tune on BP98?

Its running Caltex e-flex E85 fuel but a lot of people I talk to are running the United E85 from Rozelle in Sydney... not sure if this is a better fuel? Anyone?

ATM I believe the tune is quite conservative running on the richer side and not too much timing...

Thanks for the thread John am enjoying it.

Great work

It will hopefully get more interesting once I get it out for a run.

Here is the plan from here:

1. Get the car rewired and recheck the tune at UAS.

2. Take the car out for some practice

3. Sort out suspension need front & rear adjustable control arms, tie rods etc... do roll centres and try and fit 295s under the guards. (The car ran 265s alround when it ran the 1:35 at 2010 time attack)

4. Get the car down to Tune house on the 4WD dyno for a higher power tune and to check 4WD operation

5. Try and make it to Nissan/Datsun Nationals

6. Aero... Replace rear wing and setup proper under tray

7. Practice, practice practice

8. Get to World Time Attack in October!

Oh... and try to lose 15kgs in between...

You should have no problem getting the 295s under the guards. I'm running 305x680x18 Pirelli slicks no problem.

What 4wd controller are you using?

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
