Well here's my latest project. All the machining is finished at last and im just waiting on a couple more parts. Its a stroked 3.1lt open deck engine. The goal is a massively wide torque band and around 450awkw with a pair of GTRS's.

If it didnt have sunroof that thing would be perfect balls to the wall track car. Even as is, when i am back baby i have time off so we are going to have to have a showdown at Wakefield. It has been 6 years since i have driven that place

Whats bad about a sunroof roy? Im making a carbon "plug" for mine soon, party to save weight but mostly for headroom

Looking good Baron! And the Tomei is a better choice anyway mate, should help to keep strut towes in one piece. I had a nice fat Nismo one on there prior to buying mine which was a shame to see go, but it was for the best.

I want to try to get to Oran Park prior to it's closing, you should bring the S13 out and we can have some fun :)

agreed. as you know I very nearly didn't buy it when I found out it had a sunroof. in all the pics I'd seen I didn't see the sunroof. after my 32 GTST with sunroof I'd promised myself never again, but the car had all the right gear for the right price so I compromised again. :)

and yeah mate wakefield is a go. showdown will be good. in fact the little silvia might do well there. your thing will be pretty wild around wakefield and the silvia has just the right amount of torque. it'll be interesting to see which one you can drive around there quicker. actually yours will be quicker. it has so much good gear now. the titanium exhaust is worth 3 or 4 seconds at least....hehe.

Phunky: definitely try and get to oran before it closes. if you can't get your car up here mate we could probably even share mine for a day. you don't want to miss driving it before it closes. it's a fun track.

GTs30t: sunroofs are bad for track car. less headroom, plus more weight from the sunroof and the extra bracing they add under the roof. plus of course if you roll there is a chance of something penetrating that space. but mostly the biggest killer is the headroom or lack thereof. One day I'll probably just get it removed and get the hole welded up. I would have never bought another sunroof track car but this particular one had all the right bits so I caved. :)

very nice mate. what are you doing to that poor virginal car! :) it should be one hell of a beast with 3.1L and those two massive turbos! I'm sure you've told me before but what plans for the head?

If you throw a big enough solenoid and ram on it i am sure you can get the sunroof to drive open in a split second when diving on the brakes so you get a Veyron/Mclaren F1 style air brake. :)

:). haha. that sounds way to fancy. we just get 2 barn door hinges and attach to front of sunroof. then as I approach each corner, reach around down shift, then punch it up with my fist and hold till turn in. just like a veyron... only better.

DO please post up when you guys are going....might have to coincidently be there in the 33 :)

Looks good Ian. Just a quick question, do the tops of the sleeves where they stick out of the block have flats on them to retain a better wall thickness?

Mike

Looking good Dave. Is that a 3071?

Ando: That would be awesome to compare setups and get a feel for how each mod has affected each car. Should definitely organise something. Matt (Boxheadmr) asked me to come to an NSCC day at Wakefield on the 8th November, which would be good, but want to make sure I get OP in there if I'm making the trip.

Hmmmm S13 convention @ Wakefield or OP! Keep me posted :(

Really keen to get a whole bunch of serious S13's and drivers together to compare notes!

lol, I am a long way from serious driver or serious S13! :rofl:

and yes badhairdave can come too. all this large turbo is giving me turbo envy... now thinking mine is too small... looks like you should have a great set-up there.

S13 convention? Will be interesting to see how the old R32 goes with similarily powered 2L S13s. Be a fun day playing with cars all within 2-3 seconds of one another....rather then the usual Vic days where i am chasing all the Racepace GTRs who are 4-5 seconds quicker with me being the clearly slowest :( LOL, that is assuming i am not the slowest of all the 2L cars which could be the case around bumpy old Wakefield :rofl:

I'm massively jealous of tis turbo setup, an seeing as my manifold just cracked I'm so tempted by it!

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
