While we're comparing T88 powered cars and blow arsing how bad big singles are why don't we chuck in Theo Wolletts T88 powered GTR or are his times to quick to mention?? :P

or Glen Sucklings T51r powered GTR in NZ what did it run its fisrt time out ?? I think it was a 8 second pass a touch better the mid 11's

not doing that at all bu5ter...just know what car/cars Ben is comparing his to and its not a fair comparison. he should be comparing it to the likes of the cars you mentioned....instead of half arsed examples.

Just because it has a T88 Ben doesn't mean it is a well sorted car.

It's not so much if the gears are straight cut or helical, true helical are quieter but they both use direct dog teeth to engage the gears. There's no buffer zone, and with a seq you can't exactly rev match on the downchange - which is one of the big destroyers of dog teeth.

hahaha its only a poor old GTST, rwd and all can't expect to much ... and to make matters worse the driver weighs 108kg

And that bodykit you got from mainland China was made out of Bamboo, and weighs in at a hefty 110kg too!

Not to mention the 5mm thick exhaust, and then the 75mm thick intercooler.

hahahah

Hi guys i didn't mean for this to get out of control with the comparison of the toque figures.

as for the gear box i didn't know the Abflug made.one i was comparing to a freinds Hollinger which is noisy.and not that great to drive around the streets.

also the hollinger ia rated at 700hp were as the OS is rated at 1200hp.

i didn't mean for this thread to get all nasty.

just that the car has lots of torque that's all.

anyway were are looking foward to getting back to the track not this but next.

Cheers Ben

    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
    • nice work, welcome to the world of CAD! fabricating accurately in 3 dimensional space is beyond me....I almost always end up making something more than once...sorry I mean I extensively use prototyping
