Well I have just finished cleaning up the car after the drive to/from World Time Attack Challenge. I was asked to put it in the show n shine by Alpha Omega Racing after finishing the install of the rear kit. Unfortunately I seem to have suffered from either heat stroke, or was mesmerised by all of the awesome cars (maybe both) and didn't take a single photo of the car there. Will post any up that I find but feel free to chuck some up if you find them or took some yourself, would like to see them.

I have also packed the car up ready to be dropped off at DVS Tuning tomorrow for Jez to work his magic. I'll be leaving it with him for at least a couple of weeks whilst he does a few things with the car.

Teaser #2

Haha I'm pretty keen too. Thanks man ^_^

Got the Nistune stickers from Matt at Nistune

So as you guys figured out, the package from Hypergear was a brand new ATR45SAT.

I opted to go internally gated for matter of ease and am very hopeful of what power Jez will be able to pull from it when he works his magic.

Here is a pic comparing size to the stock OP6 highflow.

​Alpha have a eta on the adaptors? Keen to get my hands on a set haha. Keen to see updates on E85 too! Keep it up.

Just waiting on confirmation of group buy pricing and it will be up. They were waiting to see if I had any issues with my install and I took a little bit longer then expected so I may have caused the delay there :(

I am hoping to have the group buy up next week, shoot me a PM and I'll make sure to message you once it has been posted :) . I already have a number of people I need to message as soon as the group buy is posted :)

This morning Jez notified me he had noticed a crack in my manifold, before I even finished typing a message to some fellow SAU buddies he had sent me another message saying he had one sourced lol.

Not super exciting, but here is what the new Fenix intercooler looks like mounted (prior to the new piping being fitted)

I kinda missed making some of the latest updates so now for a big (shortened) post.

Jez did an amazing job at mounting the Aftermarket Industries SP1200 surge tank up under the parcel shelf. The battery has now been moved to the side of the boot.

The plan was to pick the car up this Saturday ready to race at a supersprint event on Mount Panorama the following Sunday. The car had pretty much been pieced back together and this left only one thing being tuning, fit up the Nistune flex harness. As it turned out, I hadn't been sent the voltage adaptor with my harness so Jez was quick to get on to Matt at Nistune to get one sent out. This was Wednesday night. Matt had the adaptor in an overnight parcel first thing Thursday. Jez decided to get the 98pulp tune out of the way, so this was done Friday morning. (Obligatory Dvs Tuning dyno photo)

The car responded relatively well to the new setup and Jez was able to tune a reliable 270rwkw. No less then 5 minutes after I was told the results, I had notification of the parcel being delivered. Jez found it at his door and got to fitting the voltage adaptor for the flex harness a little bit later.

Then the sad news. Jez informed me that the Nistune software wasn't reading the flex sensor. At around 9PM he called it quits and I was not feeling hopeful as Matt from Nistune had now gone on leave for the next week. Jez had sent me this.

8AM Saturday morning I get a message from Jez "I got it reading". I was rather ecstatic to say the least. Dyno results below - suffice to say I was happy ^_^

Whilst the car was there I also had a new pod cover/enclosure made up.

Anyway, on to Sunday.

Supersprint at Mount Panorama. I didn't really take any pictures, but did have the GoPro in the car. I was still getting used the new power delivery and I had also asked Jez to remove the HICAS and TCS computers from under the parcel shelf. Unknowingly, this also 'disables' the ABS. If you didn't know this, now you do lol.

Anyway, I guess I'm pretty happy with the results, I claimed 1st in class and 2nd outright for the day :banana:

Here is a video of my fastest run for the day (could easily be improved upon).

The last I did the supersprint my best time was a 52.47. They shortened the course this time by about 100m, which we estimated to be about 2 seconds less in time. Today my best time was a 44.85. Suffice to say, I think the car goes a little quicker ;)

Nice vid...so jealous! How fast are you going down conrod?

Soooo goood! Hey man what tyres are you running, i cant be bothered searching through the 20 odd pages to find it haha..none the less though very nice pleased to see everything came together.. how much torque did it make? Was that full e85 tune?

Hey Tim,

How much of a difference did the AOR rears make?

To be honest it's hard to give an exact review, with 20% more power and no ABS it made the car rather different in terms of braking (the car travelling faster and also not being able to jump on them as hard as I used to to avoid lockups). They performed great though and did very much better balanced. Once I have had a couple of more days on track and have decided whether I want to fix up the ABS issue or not I should be able to give better feedback :)

Nice vid...so jealous! How fast are you going down conrod?

Speed.... hard to say exactly. Speedo goes to 180, just after the top of the rise on Conrod I am easily off the clock. I can't see revs exactly in my video, but based off memory it was around 5800-6000rpm in 5th gear, which converts to around the 230km/h mark :)

Running Hankook RS3's. Torque figure, Jez is getting back to me with today. Full E85.

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
