How's that for a kick in the teeth as a surprise??

GTR700 and RH9 are racing at Heathcote this weekend!!!!

Dunno if they're racing on Sat or Sun but let's hope it's Sunday so we can see how the big boys do it!!

I'm hanging for this weekend more than ever. Let's just hope my car is ready to roll by then...

Leewah,

nothing's been mentioned on Mario's website and are u sure it's this weekend, it might be on the 21st for the 4,6 & Rotary shootout at heathcote.

btw, they were apparently having clutch issues on tuesday.

check it out.

Everything is ready to go - the BFG Drag Radials have been put onto the BBS alloys and they are now on the car. The car looks even better now. Cool. The new wider slicks have also been delivered and have been put onto their rims. We've also got another 2 barrels of ELF race fuel, and that was all we were waiting for, we are all set.

The new BBS is now online. As it is hosted inside the performanceforums.com BBS, you will be required to join it if you wish to post. As they are well moderated, we believe that is the best way to ensure that the moron content that plagued the previous test board doesn't return.

Hopefully the next update I post will be something for me to be proud of... This is not to say that everyone involved in this project shouldn't be, they've done more than was asked of them. Jim, Theo, Daniel, Simon, Matt, and Josh have all worked very late nights and harder than ever to ensure that the cars were ready on time for this weekend - even when issues came up that were not of their doing, they persevered and made it happen. I'm pretty sure that I even saw a bead of sweat on Jim's forehead (we need to check the video evidence to substantiate that, so it is un-official for now... :D

RH9: Well we are racing this weekend. RH9 stage 1 / 2 is now complete. Thank you once again to Jim, Daniel, Simon, Josh and Mat for their hard earned work which has now completed the next stage. I would also like to thank Russell Clarke from Heathcote Raceway for making this weekend possible for our test and tune. The last things to happen are bonnet restraints which will be done today and the sticker set up on the car which will also be done this morning.

Jim tuned RH9 last night to run NOS and lets just say that we made over 500kw's at all 4 wheels in 5th gear with 11,400nm of torque. This thing will be a ****'n handful to keep in a straight line. Watching RH9 come on boost is something that only a few of us saw in the flesh last night at about 11pm on the DYNO. Yes I have heaps of videos of the tunning and power runs. This weekend we are off to Heathcote to better our time of 10.81. Thanks to Andrej, the Hollinger gearbox is now well run in and just needs to be treated like a dirty bitch. The harder and rougher you are with it the better it will perform.

I am hoping the motor holds together, if it does I am sure we will make a few people envious. At this stage we are hoping for a 9.99 or better. If RH9 runs a 9 second pass my next update will be a great feeling to upload.

Thank you once again to the team at CRD. Fingers crossed we will be in the RH9 club by Monday morning.

considering the amount of good cars that will be there it will be imbarrising to run ours pred!

and i wanna see the good cars run 2!

there will ALWAYS be someone else who is QUICKER, BETTER, FASTER, BIGGER, HARDER etc... I dont think many of us plan to set a new land speed record on sunday - its for fun and those who havent run their car before will see what it / they can do also [like me]!

racing goes for like 5 hours in total, have a few runs then watch for a while, or the other way round :O

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
