Hi guys and Girls,

I'm emigrating to your shores next month, I've been coming over to Perth for the last nine years to visit friends and have spent a lot of time at the Motorplex, anyway been talking to John the owner of http://www.projectgtst.com (updates here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t=0&start=0 ) about bringing the car over to run there early next year, He is hopping to get this car in to the sevens so I'm sure many of you would like to see the car in action, what I need to know is what event would be best to run this car at? I've been to the Westernationals which seems like a good big event but is there any large Jap shows around March/April time?

Any feed back would be great thanks.

Don't really know what event, so can't help you there. Be sure to let us know when you do though. Seen a few video clips of this car and would love to see it in the flesh. Its mad ;)

I've already given all this information to John via email and PM mate. If you or him need anything else, just let me know.

Cheers,

Adrian

Thanks Adrian I was unaware of this, I'll send you a PM.

I'd think Westernnationals would be your best bet, as the track preparation for the Jap drag events is nowhere near as good.

2rismo will look after you, or deal with the Motorplex directly.

Good luck, and let us know when you plan to bring the car over, looks great :)

Just been in contact with 2rismo, looking at sourcing some facilities for when these guys come over. Would be the fastest Jap import we've seen run since Keir Wilson brough his over.

Thanks for the offer but I have facilities covered, I've got friends who run a Drag car in Perth and they have a large workshop there to, I'll let you know nearer the time after I've made the move over, may be a good idea to organise something so you guys can come take a close first look at her before the event? :thumbsup:

2rismo & GTS-t VSPEC, I will keep you both informed by PM as to what is happening, thanks for your help.

No worries mate, that's all fine. If you need anything organising at this end let me know, can get you access to dyno etc if you need it.

Cheers

Paul

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
