Haha, why thanks Chris! :P Seems the little 32 has become my "beast" if you know what I mean, we all have an attachment to it now we've been through a bit together.

They creep up on you the silly things. In 5 weeks time i will have had my car for 10years! 8 years ago i would have told you i would have had a 94 LT1 Vette by now...oh well. :D

kinda offtopic-ish...!

but..

I told the mrs Im going here when we are in Dubai for our honeymoon :D

most likely will do the audi track tester

http://www.dubaiautodrome.com/general/content.aspx?id=72

Unless Chris (tacker) has an event on and can take me for a lap or 5!

I just got back from Dubai and i was blown away how cool a place it is. Really nice resorts its not too crazy a price and there are cool cars galore.

There is certainly plenty for the Mrs to do to keep herself busy whilst you go do what you have to do at the race track :D

yeah, it will see Lakeside mostly, which is a driver's track, not a horsepower track. I reckon 61's for 5k is achievable. Can't be crazy loud, gotta stay under 95db :)

I didn't think 950 was overtly heavy..... what do you think we should be able to get it to? Have you built one of these pusserz?

I'm guessing this thing must be getting full slicks rather than semis? in that case I think its achieveable. On semis I think you'll need to get at least 160bhp at the wheels to have a realistic chance of 61s in that thing. What sort of power can you get from the supercharger? Or does that 5K budget stretch to a turbo conversion??? do these jiggers have a slippery in them?

Are we running a book on its stock (?) lap times on the 22nd?

I'll be back out there on the 22nd as well. Haven't had a steer for over 3 months! started work on my heap last night fixing the broken intercooler mounts... still have to swap springs around, fit & setup rear radius arms, fit the sump finally, and a few other things. Might even get its first australian wheel alignment! look out!

Well car has made 285rwkw's @ 20psi with a boost leak (injectors not sealing with plenum... farking plenum!), with 11.4 AFR's and only one cam timing change which is very promising... but now water is mixing with oil and we don't know why. I managed 1 lap of Sandown before I had to come in due to some oil spray on the manifold, and checked the dipstick to see a milky surprise.

Head gasket as replaced last week, head was decked and ever since then it's leaked. It's coming out again... :)

G'day Harry! Yeah, the plan is to run slicks on it. It's a 20V, not a charger, and it will stay that way. We still have a couple of k up our sleeve so may slip a Microtech into it at some stage. No LSD standard, but it seems they are fairly readily available on Yahoo.

Look forward to seeing you there again, I've totally worn out my 03G's, and have now got a set of KU36's to go on, really keen to see there lap time v cost v durability compared to the Dunlops.

Mate, if you ever want a hand or a drinkin buddy while you're messing with it, I'm not far away :)

Aaaaagh... mate your due for some good luck!

cheers mate. well if you get bored over the weekend, I'll be under the house working on it! Drinking buddies are always welcome!There'll be beers in the fridge mate. Have you got my number?

Those KU36 are unbeatable for the price, and will be very intersting to see how your times compare to the 03s. Will give me an idea what my Supra would have be capable of. I'd say ~2 sec slower than D03s. But 1/3rd the price! Supra ran 1:00.79 in May on them, but the rears had probably seen better days by then. But only place it would have hurt would be out of Carousell.

NA 20v? I'd suggest a piece of string from brake pedal to left nut to keep corner speeds up? lol I keep telling a mate Rob his 240Z should run 61s at Lakeside - he was over half a second faster than the Supra at QR Sprint track with a dirty old carbied L28. So no reason a 20v can't do it I suppose.

Ahh ffs!

Why did you swap the gasket anyway?

    • 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?
