OMG this car is a TV star...they had coverage of the Winton Supersprint on SBS/ Speedweek today. Well done :)

:cheers:

Nice work Johnny.....loving it.

Looking forward to seeing the latest additions!!

Have you had it on the scales since its diet??

Always wondered what they actually weigh......my rego sticker says 1200kg.....paha!!!

Cheers,

Haven't yet.

They are much heavier than 1200, thats for sure. Nissan says 1370ish from the factory.

I'd say it's 1300'ish at the moment. You can take a heap off metal and gear off it, but there has been so much added.

So the focus is firmly on World Time Attack in October. Then Winton/Wakefield come up with feeder state rounds. So it's on to improve the car in readiness for the Vic round.

Weight, removing the AC

And ducting between the intercooler and radiator

Adding a power steering cooler at the same time.

Changing the spring rates from 8/6 to 10/7, longer wheel studs

A change in wheel size. From 17x9 +22 to 18x10 +35, these needed a 5mm spacer on the front to clear the inside.

Also, the regs for Vic were a little stuffed and allow club cars to run r comp tyres.

So a set of 265 A050's in medium, my first try at an r comp tyre.

more powerrrrrrrrrrrr

change the stock intake pipe to a hard one and give it more boost. Also had to change the actuator from the stock one to a HKS 1 bar.

The little 21U won't hold boost up top and bleeds off to from 18 to 15PSI

There isn't enough time for parts to come in a put the diff back together before NSW Time Attack, so I raid my brothers daily.

Which has a newer NISMO GT 1.5 way (mine is an old NISMO mech 2 way). But is a non ABS housing diff.

So I'll be running NSW TA without ABS :huh:

At the same time the rear arms go off to pedders for polly bushes and new ball joints.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
