Hi,

Been a member, stealing ideas and advice silently from the shadows for a few months. This is my 1st post so be gentle and use some lube. I've simply been recording my progress with my 33 4 door doing some motorsports with plans for more, much more. intending to run Time Attack QLD series and such as well as a few hill climbs and other miscellaneous events and the odd skid here and there to fill in the gaps. I've been uploading the vids of what I have been doing to YouTube so figured I'd share the link here, seems the people most likely to be interested. Saves taking heaps of pics and writing it all down, just put together a vid and let the google corporation store it in the public domain for me. I'll share a couple of links, will depend on what you interested in, if anything as to what you might want to click on. Remember, I'm learning as I go, my 1st skyline and track car, so mistakes are made, but left in as part of my learning progress, and you might not make the same mistake if you see me do it.

1st Episode, a bit cringe worthy but it's where it starts, this and the next 2 sorta tell you what I have to work with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qez549XL2s

28th Episode, A few skids at QLD raceway, if that's your thing.

29th Episode is the 2015 Jap Nats.

I have no idea if those links will work as I had to type them in manually? I assume it's a bot prevention thing?

Anyway, figured I'd share, if you like it well great, if you don't well good for you too.

Well I must say I'm overwhelmed by all the comments lol. Regardless... Here is the latest event vid.


https:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWBGL5ug6F4


Plenty of build vids to go with the event vids, I just find the events are a bit more watch worthy as the car is being driven, as opposed to worked on. But if the build stuff is your thing please do like, subscribe and other stuff... I think share is the other thing you're supposed to ask for on youtube lol.

Anyone able to tell me why I can't make this link work.... would be helpful.

Great to see someone getting so much use out of their car, good on you! Hopefully my car doesn't know how to use YouTube, it might get a bit jelly....

 

Thanks man, I think you car might think itself lucky it doesn't get the abuse too

      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

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      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.
