Also yes Adrian 2rismo it was your example leading the way re the burnout thing I just followed the leader. Now you come to our next track day and follow me?

Check out the SAU add on back.

Getting the Groove Rider Fabrications special, including the strut tower tie in support.  Yes still mainly a circuit car and will sacrifice a little weight for better handling for circuit.

Looks like the way we are going, but not until next year as he tells us he is very busy.

Wreckedhead I am pretty confident I will run a 9 in my circuit car before you do and not with current motor, it is for sale as going VQ35 500rwkw and alloy block and 100kg less weight.  I will be waiting for you in the 9 sec club.  Have you even run a 10 and not on Grand Turismo??

thats some funny shit john, do you write your own material. :)

funkymonkey yes it was me, the sun is in your eyes late in the arvo. Then at night the prob I had was that there are no dash lights which we will now correct and often with smoke in the cabin which we need to see where this is coming from and also correct I found it hard to see the tacho. I have a shift light set at 8000rpm and rev cut at 8200rpm.

The smoke may have something to do with the little button labled "smoko" on the centre console... I hear when used in conjunction with the far right pedal this can lead to a lack of vision. Might wanna get that seen to.

Finally got the tyre pressures right and me sorted on the drag racing thing and late in the night  we cracked the 10's last night at  WSID.  Our second event at drags,  and it was on street tyres.

Exact time was   10.894   1.690 60 foot  and 130.85mph  Ambient temp  22C.

The run after that did a 1.597 60 foot but then missed second gear and then ran out of fuel and night was over anyway.

Off to get a roll cage then will be back next year.

Well done John! Nice short times, too.

In case some are still wondering if I actually did it.

I am not sure even some who know me had to confirm with me thinking I may have made it up. Not exactly sure why this is the case and wondering if I lack credability. I certainly never bull crap so?

I saw the 11.5 sec pass and I said " Holie Fark"

I got no doubt Johnny boy !

Well done - don't it feel good to get a quantified baseline performance measurement of your cars potential ?? :)

how can a 10 second pass be indicative of a car's overall performance? I think John's track times already have proven his car's potential... the 10 second pass was just rubbing it in our faces :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      By sonicii · Posted

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
