That is a handful! 1:29 is very quick!!

Why camera are you using? Was it playing up?

Using the rad cam hd for the outside view, and the new go pro for the inside view. I'm not sure why the vids were out of sync as its never happened before with the rad cam hd as its always brilliant. The only thing I can think of is that I recently put in high speed memory cars in both cameras. Anyone else have this problem?

Late night work going on to have it ready for Friday winton practice, inlet temp is to high to quick so additional front bar whole cut out to help bring it down with a water spray kit also being installed. Front diff oil cooler pump fitted, and tie rod ends almost finished. Couldn't finish off the power steering, I ran around all morning organising the merc pump prior to work couple days ago in a rush to have it ready for the guys to hook up and sort. Just as I rocked up I went to place it on the bench and it slipped out of my hands and smashed the reservoir... Oops, so still waiting for delivery of a new reservoir to try and get it all working properly.

Car is looking great Steve!!!.

Mate I have a merc pump in my driveway...give me a hoy if you need it

BTW who made your sway bar? Can you ask him if I can buy the parts and I will fabricate it down here. My suspension dude it too busy for my car. Thanks Steve.

Hey danh thanks for the offer, guys are working on it now and hopefully the new one I picked up works. The sway bar I bought ages ago which was off my gtr33 track car I had bought years ago so not sure who made it sorry as it was already on. Had the guys transfer it over. Ill try and find out for you though.

So the boys added a intercooler spray system to try and get the inlet temp down. Motec controlled to kick in after full throttle for 1 sec and then off for 2 sec. Car has been now set up with motec throttle position so that will help a lot. Car is now getting aligned again with the additional weight and ikeya roll centre. Total weight now is 1278kg, not as light as initially thought as lots of little things have been added which add up. Tie rod ends are in, thanks for the info danh, ran out of time to order so dean made his own.

Picked up a new memory card so hoping the sound and video quality are back in sync for tomorrow's second shakedown at winton. So much to test again with little time till the event but its been great fun, can't wait to sleep again.

Awesome day today at winton, we rocked up late so we could sleep in after a late night working on the car, so only had a few sessions. Power steering sorted this time which was great so dean could concentrate on driving. Had the first couple sessions on the hard compound tyres, boys played around with the suspension set up and sorted the handling out which is now driving like it should. Had a fuel reg issue for the day which didn't let us get consistent laps in. Guys changed the fuel filter which was slightly blocked and it still had the issue next session out so straight back in again. Guys checked the petrol tank and found the fuel lift pump in pieces and plastic broken bits on the bottom. Cleaned it out, put it back together, had enough time for one more session so the hankook soft tyres were put on, with boost set middish way. The car produced some great results which we were happy with as its a positive step forward for us. Dean reckons there's an easy 1-2 seconds in it with some more laps. Massive day and massive thanks to dean, brett, paul and andrew for all the hard work all day everyday to make this happen.

Ill post the vids soon.

It's a pwr intercooler, 81mm thick I think, not sure on length but was a custom make for our power application.

They are great cores but do you believe it is suitable for the power you are producing?

Most run cores of 100mm at your power levels.

I was advised from dean that we need a bigger cooler at some stage but there won't be enough time to refabricate the cooler piping and costs involved. Trying other alternatives for now and if it doesn't work, after wtac it will be changed.

Awesome!

Can't wait to see this and Danh's and the other Skylines go at WTAC!

There are a couple of us NZ GTR owners coming over to watch, we'll be cheering you guys on

Good luck with you final prep

Cheers Chris, appreciate the support. Come say hi at wtac. Bout to meet the team at phillip island, weather looks good for a change.

Good luck for testing! The thing looks and sounds like an animal in the clip from yesterday, love it - should be intense with the power wound up to 11!

The NZ non-GTR owners also coming over don't count? :(

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
