The car was started yesterday and the 1st stage of run-in commenced.

If we have enough hours on the engine and all goes well we are going out to WSID on wednesday night for a few shake-down runs. If we don't have any problems then we will put the race fuel in it, put the Mickey Thompson's on it and up the boost on Saturday at Compak Attak. A PB on Saturday would be nice...a 9 sec pass may see me shout the bar on Saturday night.

Good luck Paul - I should have taken your offer for the MT's the other week :-)

Yeah, it may have been just the thing you needed to run into the 10's...well done on the PB mate.

For those that don't already know (the grapevine travels fast) our car made over 430 AWKW last night with only 21psi on a soft run-in tune. This was done on BP 98 and without any cam timing etc done. Its being properly tuned with race fuel (Sonoco Extreme) tonight with some more boost in preparation for Compak Attak tomm. at WSID.

Unfortunately due to unavailability of 1000cc injectors we will not be tuning the car tonight or racing the car tomm.

BUGGER !!!!

Run out of injectors did you Paul??? :)

Yes..initially i was thinking we would but i was talked into believeing we wouldn't produce so much torque (torque chews fuel up not power). I think Jim was surprised how well the GT-RS performed, and to tell you the truth...so was I. All i can say at this stage, is once properly tuned..."This thing is gonna be good"

BU5TER thanks for the offer mate, and as per the phone discussion yesterday get back to me with a price.

hrmmm got duration? any particulars?

depending on the price ill get either the injectors off BU5TER or Theo...Theo says he will post them down on Monday so ill ring BU5TER tonight for a price.

What particulars were you after?

man thats tough, be interesting to see the numbers, and cant wait to see it in action :) hope someone gets some video footy.

a video is a great idea 'silver' ill see what i can do to get some of the full power runs "u-tubed"

oh i see the picture now Dave...lots of lift and duration....lots

yes thats a very wide lobe with a little base circle. just out of curiosity, what are you reving it to? and what duration/lift. pm if you like. but yeah they not ya run of the mill 260's lol.

and what improvements did it make, any loss down low? etc etc. im just trying to work out what cams to use with my new motor, t04z 1,8 bar optimax reving to 8500

That would be Awsome man!! :thumbsup: Don't for get to post up the links! :P good luck.

car made around 440+ AWKW on pump gas (BP98) at 23psi, this is the same power as before but previous was 34psi and C16 race fuel. This shows the massive gains we have made....the torque curve makes the car look very impressive.

race fuel tuning this weekend and a bit more boost.

first runs at WSID on sunday 22nd July.

its getting very close now

can't wait

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
