Good luck mate, im sure your going to get near that 12!! I wont be going to race, no need to as i cracked the 12, so unless i do some more mods, i will be holding out.

Actually tomorrow night will be good if the heavens dont open up. The Ford XR8/6T guys are racing the LS1 guys, there is about 30 of them, should be fun.

Maybe I could try to beat some of those slow XR6Ts

When I raced last time, I spoke to a couple of guys with brand new XR8s and one had a great big blower hanging off the side of his donk and pumped out 330 kw at the wheels, but only just cracked a 12.9!!

Nothing like getting off the line clean!

New Front Mount Cooler.

New Clutch and Lightweight Flywheel.

Hopefully going to crack the 12s, but might have trouble getting off the line till I get used to the new clutch.....

You'll go close, i gained .3 with cam gears and the intercooler. With the cooler it feels alot faster. It will take a good 1.9* 60 footer!!

Had a shit night.

Couldn't get off the line.

Damn new clutch.

Couldn't even break the 13 second barrier.

Have a bif flat spot between 4000 and 5500 rpm cos I didn't reset the computer after putting in the octane booster.

Axel tramp was my enemy last night also.

Banging the back end at each gear change, even into 4th.

Last night sucked for me.

      Damn, some awesomeness in there. What is the car with the Mk2 golf front, is it a Polo?  I'm in love with the C110. 😍 Some cool grafts, like the Lancia Jimny (?).

      Turbomachinery engineers. They're just mechanical engineers who generally studied in universities focused on oil and gas, aviation or that had a formula SAE competition team. We have an entire team of them in our engineering department... they geek out over data and performance testing. I worked with them a lot when we developed an anti surge system for centrifugal compressors ran by electrical motors (~20 000-50 000HP) to avoid surging on accidental power loss.  They laugh when I mention automotive turbochargers.... it seems they're lightyear's behind in technology due to poor funding. If you think formula 1 spends a lot of money, a single turbine/centrifugal compressor package in my line of work including the balance of plant equipment generally ranges in the 150-250Million range depending on size.

      Modding V37

      The diff brace did not increase NVR at all. And yea the whole reason I thought getting the rear diff brace was a no brainer was because of the reduction in wearing the bushings out + wheel hop. It's a cheap mod for a big cost mitigation in the long run. I bought it for $99 USD + shipping. In regards to the sway bar - i had some over/understeer going on but i just checked my tires and they are pretty worn out. I wont be changing them til july since i'm away for work for a month or so. will sort it when i get back and do more testing. But its definitely still a big thumbs up from me given how planted the car feels now and me being able to go around corners quicker. Still puzzling to me why they never put a LSD into these cars....even the 400z. I saw this mob selling LSD kits for a decent price though it's a little more involved on your part to get it installed: https://www.tractionconcepts.com/Infiniti-Q60-R190-Limited-Slip-LSD-Rear-Conversion-p/tcxin9240.htm

      Great for thrashing on the track - particularly if it is all corners. Otherwise, it is a recipe for massive tyre wear and reduced straight line traction. -1 is plenty for a streeter.

      There are other MAP tapping ports. There's one that runs to the boost gauge MAP sensor on the firewall (over in the corner behind the brake booster). Start at that sensor and follow the hose to the plenum.
