Check this out. My mate is doing electric conversions and he just sent me this clip.

They're using WARP electric motors. I dont know a whole lot about it, but he reckons they had this one up to 90kph. Will go faster with more batteries/larger motor.

If anyone is interested, let me know, and i'll put you in touch with him.

that's mad. I wonder how quick it feels compared to the stock turbo, how fast it accelerates, how many ks he gets etc

he tells me its pretty quick off the mark.

theres larger variants of these motors that theoretically put out 2000hp :laugh:

At current technology levels, I can't imagine a 2000hp electric engine plus all the batteries required to run it would be of a practical size and weight for a road car... But someone should do it anyway!

why only a 6V system? i was reading about a 12 second 180SX that was electric too... i've read it a few times since, i love this sorta stuff

oh and btw, still FWD?

Edited by VB-
It's not the power that makes it feel fast it's the fact that you have 100 percent of the torque availible right from the get go.

This man knows.

There was a doco on telly not to long ago about guys in america running Setups good for 400 miles and 12 second quarters. I remember the VSD and a picture of a spitfire on it, if that helps anyone :happy:

Was quiet an outlay but hey, power is cheaper then fuel!

yeah its FWD

it's not a 6volt system, it's 144volt dc

there are 24 batteries that make up 144volt

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
