Thats right I use a laptop with a keyboard to tune all my cars. Correct

I got a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard it handles a treat

As for the FC DJetro? Dunno if total power is much different, but there are many differences on the way there....

Gearbox having a bad hair day? :lol:

Hey that got my attention! Whats the quarter mile time and mph for that VL engine transplant you did in your Skyline? Just interested to know how all that brutal driveshaft twisting torque translates into actual real world acceleration B) Im picking around 13.9 @ 100mph. Am I right?

I suppose its easier and cheaper to just dream it eh?

I will have my R33 GTS 4 door out there to have a crack at an 11 second pass this year to improve on its existing 12.5. Trying to do it in full roadworthy regency approved trim too with stock GTR exhaust, airbox, filter etc. (just passed full engineering inspection last week). Just a nice tune up with our laptop Power FC software and 1.0bar of boost through the RB26 should do it

You didnt look very hard. They sat on the tyre stack all day!

Cnr of Wilkins and Browning Street in Gillman. Opposite Singletons Truck Yard.

Thats really one for a tyre shop, but yes, Ive seen it done by the drift brigade

From what I can remember they look ok, forgot to put there...40%

Ok guys this Saturday morning (21st) Willall Racing are having a massive tyre clearance. All of the stuff is inspected, of good quality (no stuffed sidewalls etc), and is strictly cash & carry from 9am - 12pm. Here is the list - TYRE LIST RADIAL SEMI-SLICKS 2 x FALKEN RS-V04 245/40/18 (60%) $150ea 2 x FALKEN RS-V04 285/35/18 (20%) $100ea DRAG RADIALS 5 x NITTO NT-555R EXTREME DRAG 275/40/17 (60%) $125ea or $400 for 4 DRAG SLICKS 2 x MICKEY THOMPSON ET STREET 26x11.50x16 (70%) $100ea 2 x HOOSIER 26x9x15 (70%) $100ea ROAD TYRES/WHEELS 4 x VOLK RACING RIMS (16 x 7 four stud suit Skyline) WITH GOODYEAR 205/55/16s $400 for 4 2 x FIRESTONE FIREHAWK 195/50/15 $30ea 2 x YOKOHAMA AVID 225/50/16 $50ea

Yep, its a genuine one

I looked into this a little further Willalls rang Nissan and asked a price approx $4000 Then they offered the genuine factory unit to the customer for $1500 Which to me seems pretty fair.

Try Peter at Willall Racing 0408 844 058 He has a perfect original item

No problem then is there

It might be a plug, bit its also a proven fact There is plenty of talk and promises out there and only so many achievers Tell me, which other Skyline workshop in Adelaide has their own in-house 8 second GTR?

Willalls have always built the fastest and most reliable Skylines in SA, and Australia for that matter. They build their engines in house, they tune in house. They dont make excuses. They are the best at what they do, and have the runs on the board to prove it. They also do plenty of street level Skyline work. However they wont go around fishing for the $5 job, which is why only the serious players know them. I highly recommend Keir Wilsons facility. Ask 9KRPM. 280rwkw @ 14psi from his Honda with one of their turbochargers sure isn't bad Enjoy Dan!

Will be looking forward to running you at AIR in my four door GTS - will be there at 4,6, Rotor nats as part of the Willall Racing entry

Dont want to sound negative here Trent, but werent the 4500 spectators Mallala got through their gates - bigger crowd than the Konica cars - enough to show the organisers the potential of the sport? Surely a properly run event like the PSi day has to have more clout with Mallala than a come and try event?

You would have to argue how far they really have dropped the ball Matt. One of our latest discussions over on the dark side revolves around a stock unopened engine manual VU ute (exhaust, filter, tune etc) that just ran 12.3 @ 114mph, Heathcote last Saturday. Thats getting there! There wont be any secrets in the tuning. Will let you know if you are seriously interested. Real big horsepower cars are generally pretty manageable on the dyno. Just strap em tight, and lay in the boot. Cest la vie. The factory computer though? Work of art. Makes ANY aftermarket system look like rubbish. Whats it do? Off the top of my head...... Wideband mixture feedback, positive pressure fuel and ignition tables (both high and low octane), programmable outputs (revs vs load vs temp), twin sensor knock retard (programmable attack and decay), long and short term fuel trims, adjustable injector scaling (able to cope with 8 x 1000cc injectors), closed loop idle speed control, twin cooling fan control, programmable traction control inputs, adjutable rev limiter (versus engine temp) for each gear, programmable shift light, decel fuel cutoff control, full auto trans pressure and shift control (should you not have a manual), 300 or so different error reporting levels, snapshot data logging, lean cruise algorithm, catalytic converter overtemp protection......and thats part of it Best part is you can buy these computers for about $200 from spares shops

Well to give you an idea Matt, we finished off a Crewman today, with some pistons, rods, small valve heads, and a rather big cam 240+ duration, running 11psi through a T Trim, on a stock 5.7l capacity, and it made 496rwkw at 6400rpm. Now factor in over double the boost (from a bigger YSi compressor), more displacement (C5R on an iron block makes 6.0l), decent fuel, much better manifold/heads, twin 4 inch exhaust etc. and you can see where I am angling from. 700rwkw isnt guaranteed, but its quite likely to be on the cards. The best part is that with the crank/rod combo I am running 8500rpm is the hardware ceiling. Going to run reprogrammed factory management too. Give the old keyboard skills a workout it will! About as street legal as most other cars on here you might say :sly:

Would like to see it at the track within two months Power output? What it makes, but it should be close to 700rwkw

Yeah Matt, I have to use C5R Lemans bits in the engine to make it hang together!
