did anyone else go to the motorshow?

i was a bit surprised to see a genuine NISMO 350Z s-tune there. only had a quick look did they say anywhere that they would be selling it here?

yep, i went and had a look, the general feedback i have had from most that went was dissapoinment.

That Nismo S-Tune was my favourite car at the show!

it was a dissapointment, i thought the motorshow would be a bonus thing to do after the hills fang the night before but then of course it rained so no driving and then the motorshow had only a few nice cars.

i got a photo of that s-tune at home somewhere, ill grab it at some stage.

the astin martins were nice too !

  • 2 weeks later...

got our first XR5 Turbo in to day!

doesn't look to bad - nice interior with recaro's. haven't been allowed to drive it yet though.

the salesmen keep on trying to tell me how much better it would be than my car (they don't like imports) it's got 166Kw at the engine, weighs 1400kg and is front wheel drive. not to mention its $35, 00 plus all the on road stuff so more like $40, 000, will have to take it for a drive hopefully tomorrow, then we'll see if i'm impressed

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
