Nocturnal

Just Noticed that Photohost gone offline again, so I uploaded the photo to photobucket now.

Thanks Guys, I have not check in for a while, didn't see all the comments. The car is there, but I might be doing something special soon so it will have some "re-work" done to the body. But the basic principle will not change, it will still be a road car. For those who read HPI magazine, you should see something interesting soon.

Thanks Guys, The picture isn't perfect by any mean. It was one of those "still learning" picture. But it just have a certain "mood" to it that I really like, but it is no where near what a professional photo would be. As for the kit, it does have the Garage Yanack Fender. The front bumper and side skirt is TBO The front grill and rear wing is D-speed The rear bumper is Do-Luck The Bonnet is Speed-R And wing mirror is Mine's So it is a bit of a mix.

My friend Tom Higgins who done the photos for the feature the current issue of Total Nissan just gave me some of the photos taken that night. I saw this and just had to share it... I think it is awesome. What do you guys think?

Thanks guys. Fix the link now so it should be working instead of a big box with a red x in it.

Sorry Guys, didn't know the Photohost Server went bye bye, so that is why everyone been looking a big red X for a while. If it goes awaying, please post something and let me know. Thanks. Hello Guys, I know I haven't been in for a while and I did promise you guys for the magazine feature that was back in Oct. 07. My car is now on MaxPower April 08 issue, but I won't be able to upload that feature until it is off the stand, but I did put a mention to skylinesautralia.com in that feature. Here is the Banzai Feature that was out on Oct. 07: (Click on the image for a full size readable version)

They are a cap that goes over the stock headlight... brings the light more flush against the body work similar to the R33 But it really add flavors to my LED light because it makes the lense more dark red and it also blurs the LED giving it a more 3D look.

My Friend Tom Higgins have made some wallpaper size photos for me. I am amaze what photoshop can do. Tom is not a professional photographer, but he is great at photoshop. He is trying to be a free-lancer; but like everything, he is still learning. If anyone here is a pro photoshop artist and got any pointer, please feel free to let us know. Okay, On with the show. (Click on the picture to get full wallpaper size jpg) Hope You Guys Like It!!!

Agreed.... If you try too hard you really do stuff it up.... My best run came from just letting the clutch off very slowly... Before I was trying to pre-load the suspension and all the other good things I read on the net... if you just drop you clutch slowly and slip it through first, you won't shock load the transmission either... As for how people get 1.5-1.6 60ft... I am all ears... Oh, REV was 7K and just let it slip...

Actually, UK seems to quote Engine Power. It should make about 600bhp at the hub on a DynaPack... Overall, the setup on this car isn't "modern" if you know what I mean. Short Stroke Engine (RB26) on a big single, low rev limit (7600rpm) and long gear ratio isn't a good combo for a good drag car. Being full weight with things in the boot doesn't help either. And I am runing on hard springs (10kg/7kg), so even with the damper fully made soft, the car still dosn't squad... :laughing-smiley-014: I might be looking into a GT40R in the NEAR Future...and maybe 10's sec. Again, thanks for the comment guys....

They are not hard to launch actually if you ask me. It is hard to launch good if you wan a sup 1.8 60ft, especially with a big turbo and a narrow powerband... Once that is done the rest is pretty straight forward. But to get a 2.0 to 2.2 60ft isnt that hard at all...but I don't know if that is consider as "good" launch in drag time. This is my frist time down the strip in the car afterall. I was just hoping for sub 12 seconds run. Oh yea, the Rear Bar is Do-Luck by the way.

Hello Guys, thanks for the comment. Sorry for not checking for quite a while. Several things had happened since I last check in. The car has been featured in Banzai Magazine this Month (OCT 07) http://www.banzaimagazine.com/latest-issue.htm The car also have when down to the drag strip and see what is what. The Result: 11.61 @ 123MPH (Don't have the Video for it) Video: 11.9 Run with 1.89 60ft. Turn your speakers ON! So Overall, I am happy with it.

Right, just thought I update you guys. Ran a dyno on a Dyna Pack, only had 2 so I had to disengage the 4WD system and run it RWD. All the numbers are at the HUB. I ran it 1.47Bar, made 573 bhp at 7500RPM I ran it 1.55Bar, made 597 bhp at 7500RPM However, It ran lean on the top at 1.55Bar and therefore the power drop right off after 6500RPM or so. The redline is set 7500RPM, so thats the issue too. I think the Turbo can easily make 650bhp at the hub at the top end with a redline around 8200. The turbo should be good up to 1.8Bar. So there you are, ancient turbo with not so ancient output.

Thanks Guys... I will be getting those pictures in hi res later, still waiting for it from my friend... I need a new wallpaper also. I'll post it up when I get it. I actually know what you are talking about. I kind of thought that myself also. However, it is the only way of realistically "extending" the flare so it comes down straight... So it is a case where you have to give up a clean design in order to make it look more "Butch" Thanks for the comment though... And so far the police have left me alone, so that isn't too bad. Oh, and always buckle up... at least in my car anyways.

It is.... isn't it??? :laughing-smiley-014:
