R33 Drift Project

[Majanal]

Well a good weekend... lots of positives, the extra power is helping, and the set up is coming along.

Smashed the front bar to bits on Saturday during Team Drift... never mind...

Sunday saw me up agains Kelly McKinnon, It was pretty tight first battle, but unfortunatly my handbrake got stuck on in the second battle and I spun... real bugger as I certainly had a chance... guess that is being chucked in the bin this week and replaced with a proper drift hand brake...

Team drift was fun, although a big smash saw the session canned after only one run.

Can't wait for Eastern creek at the end of next month... new turbo and a whole lot more incoming... stay tuned!

oooh eastern creek. that should be good.

I saw your battle on TV the other day. car looked good mate. hydraulic handbrake is a must!

when is EC?

[Kinks]

hey Dan! Long time no speak

Car looks awesome, good to see you're still having heaps of fun in it

(sold my R31, new car pending when I find a nice one! Going to stay in the family of course!)

[Majanal]

Nice one Kinks!!! Post up some pics when you get it.

Richard, end of next month... as it says in the last line of the post... but more specifically in case that was what you meant... 29th and 30th of July.

See you all then!

Oh, and thanks for getting my AFR around the right way... I hate going by memory.

The Bel Motorsports sticker is on the wrong way around to be JDMyo

they are supposed to go from the front to the back of the vehicle...

But that is unless you are like Kelly McKinnon who thinks the other way

around is more aggressive looking... Anyway, take it or leave it.

If you look at this truck in my carpark you can see the way it works

with Chinese/Katakana characters... The letters are the correct way

around but go from the front to the back of the truck.

Anyway, congratulations on the results, keep up the good work!

Well development is coming along rather well... now have 224rwkw at a low 0.9bar of boost and at around 155kms in 4th gear. we also made 712nm at 70kms in 4th, and averaged 644nm across the entire rev range!

Which probably explains why I have no 4th gear syncro left. and 3rd gear is spitting out sometimes... I knew it would break eventually... but I was hoping for a little later in the season!

I have 2 dyno graphs, but I'll scan them tomorrow, or next week.

See you all at Eastern Creek the weekend after next!

Cheers,

Dan.

torque monster

thank god for the rb30

[Majanal]

Just wish I had a stronger box... lol... guess it is time for a rebuild.

[88silhouette]

nah, you should upgrade, and ill come help take out your box. ill even take it away for you

[DRIFTER]

how much for your old box?

cheers nathan weissel

[Majanal]

lol... you guys are vultures!!!

If I buy a new box the old one is being kept as a spare, looks like we will be buying a second handy for this round, and rebuilding the old one a bit stronger... especially as we are looking for more power still too!

If I look to sell it Nathan I'll give you a bell. (pm)

Dan.

[DRIFTER]

[N1GTR]

Not yet - im lazy

Are you going to OP on Saturday for the initial drift?

Shaun and i can come watch if you are

[Majanal]

Did I show you the new Pipe work and Catch can that RoadRunner Fabrications made up for me? Very Pretty!!!

Cooler Pipes

Catch Can

And also someone asked a while back about dyno graphs... I finally remembered to get them... and they are below.

First is Power,224RWKW @ 12psi (0.9bar). We did another run with 20psi (1.3bar) and only made 227rwkw... so it is time for a bigger huffer... BRING IT ON.

Second is torque... again same settings as above, in fact same run! Max 712NM, Min 497NM, AVERAGE across the run was 644NM

[lastlineofdefence]

fab works looks great.

and that torque!
