Starting to get our car sorted...

Finalised the run-in on Friday (did a Sydney>Newcastle>Sydney drive) this was on top of the initial dyno run-in at Croydon's and put a bit of boost in it late friday night. @22 psi on Croydons 4WD dyno it easily pumped out 461KW with the rich run-in tune in the Power FC. This was with BP ultimate 98...so with a decent (read:leaner) tune and Shell 100 in the tank i can see a figure of 500KW+ achieveable, yes over 500kw with low-mounts on pump gas. That should silence a few of the "big single" naysayers...hehe

We took the car to Newcastle Autosalon on Saturday and put it in the dyno shootout, with only 10psi we made just over 350kw to be in 1st place for Sundays finals. I turned it back up to 22psi and with the heat of the day and an exhibition hall full of exhaust gas from the other finalists (not ideal conditions) we made 450KW! This was enough to secure victory in the dyno catergory and win another 4 trophy's including the prestigious "Tough as nails" trophy for toughest car at the show.

This is by far above our expectations and a real shock to Jim and the boys at Croydon's who were unsure if this direction (sticking with twin low-mounts) we were taking with this combo would make the numbers. With race fuel and the NOS in it, it should be abosolutely ballistic.

600kw here we come.

We would like to thank Jim Souvas and all the boys at CRD for all their hard work, knowledge and patience.

Racing the car this Wednesday night if all goes well.

ill keep you posted

Paul

What was the problem the car had that kept it off the road? All sorted now?

Good question Roy, i must be careful what i say about this subject but here goes...

We trusted our car with another workshop to have some work done (custom fabrication work) Their work practices were far from what i expected from them. To cut a long story short, they allowed the freshly built engine to become unsealed and during their work some metal shavings/swarf entered the engine. The engine then had to be removed again, stripped, rebuilt and re-installed.

I must stress this workshop was NOT Croydon Racing Developments.

Congrats on the trophies dirt

what turbos are on the car, capacity and static cr?

:)

turbo's HKS GT-RS items

capacity 2600cc

static CR one thing ill be keeping to ourselves (im sure you understand)

a little off topic but back in the day when u ran the 10.3 @ 133mph do u have a power figure for that run

398kw...i think...it was just shy of 400kw

the torque curve of that engine/turbo/cam combo was very peaky though.

the torque curve of this engine is nearly dead flat at max torque for 5000rpm...its incredible on the road.

its a completely different car....more different than 50kw would have you think.

the power does not tell the story...its the torque.

ill post up a graph

fookin jeebus paul nice result! :)

i bet u cant wait to hit the track on wednesday, good luck :)

yeah...its not too shabby for a very fat (rich) run-in tune. Will be out either Wednesday night and/or all day Friday sorting it out at the strip. All depends on when Croydon's are avail.

    • Thanks! Will get it looked at before winter 🥶 other than that she's a mint ride love it aye 
    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
