the car crapped an AFM unfortunately. Richard is having the N2O tuned soon and it will be back out at the track, hopefully this Wednesday.

As for the box, its definitely not stock and it aint a Holinger :P:) I put a HKS box in it about 2 months back. Awesome box and certainly one i would use if i bought myself a GTR :stupid::laugh:

So is there really that much stopping that car/driver doing a limiter launch?

Built engine, strong box and im assuming that the rest of the drive train isn't stock....

Not being ignorant but im sure this car would deff by the sounds of it be up to the task.

doods, burnsie - if you guys were driving that GTR I bet you wouldnt get under 15 seconds!

It would be a total barstard to get that car to launch/race!

and if its his 1st go - good on him - with practice - he'll get alot more out of it :D

Ditto.

I was reading the article on his car in Fast Fours last week, and saw his car again in the newspaper today (although for very wrong reasons). Hope the car finds a home that loves it as much as he did.

I was at the funeral yesterday and the vibe i get is that the car will not be sold any time soon which is great news. I hope that we can get the nitrous sorted and get it back out to the track and run some quick times with the car as i am know that is what Richard was planning to do in the very near future

    • Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers
    • Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
    • Nissan stock oil pressure is typically about 1 bar at 1000 rpm plus about 1 bar per thousand revs on top.
