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

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
