0-100 in 9.3 seconds

That's not gonna beat me in a drag

that limo? bullshit. i'd be surprised if it could do 100km/h

9.3sec must the stock Fairlane time.

so lets run some numbers on this...

the base weight on a 97 Failane was: 1642 KG
standard Engine was 162KW and 361Nm of torque 
which we get a 9.8s  0-100

 

Great. now they replaced the 162kw with a 3.5l Mitsubishi motor, which we can gather was the magna one.
Magna 3.5 147kw and 300Nm 

hmm not a good move..

now add in a second rear axle and suspension.. there has to be a good 250kg there for everything (axle, suspension, brakes, wheels)
add in an extra 6 front passenger seats (so it appears) circa 40 kg each for those so there 240kg 

so we have ditched 10% power and 20% torque and we are 30% heavier  hmm getting worse.

now the big one that stretch, to keep that from bowing and adding 2 extra doors there is some serious metal involved here lets be generous and call it 800kg

 

so we are now at approx 3000kg 

now a quick google says the GMV of a magna was 1884kg and had a tow weight of 1500kg so 3384kg

so would this do 100 and cruise yes.

 

but wait you idiot I hear you screaming..you forgot the passengers....

so call it 1 driver and 8 in the back

average au person weighs in at 78.5kg from ABS

 

so lets add in that extra 709.5kg in

 

so we at 3641.5kg... best case

 

using a online calculator:

gives us a theoretical best time of 14.8sec 0-100
assuming the engine/transmission does not explode as it is now past it's duty level..


yes I am bored today

 

SURELY it would be a pajero diesel engine? Traversely mounted FWD engine would sense. But fark that would be the worst driving car ever. I wonder if it's cable throttle the length of the car/bus...

it states 3.5L and pre 2000 (the build date) my only finds were the magna engine, (same engine was in the pajero but makes more sense to use the magna one as no transfer case and such to stress about.)

cannot think of any drive by wire cars from that era as well so yeah that would be all cable operated, the gear box mech would have to be weird as well unless you built an actuator on top and had it as push button

In the description it clearly states 12 + driver so there's a heap more seats and people you aren't accounting for.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
