Come on softy... he's only got 3.5 SECONDS and 100MPH on you!

would love to score a run with Victor Bray actually....that would be a blast.

Racing someone who you look up to with so much respect and admiration for would be awesome.

Would be akin to Duncan racing Jim Richards around Bathurst or Theo Wollett racing Theo Wollett! :laugh:

What day(s) are you racing at Willowbank on? I shall try and head down for some SAU moral support :)

2nd and 16th of Jan.

The Bray's are out of our class now but still quite a few 6 sec cars to race against :D

Would be good to see some support for the Nissan's. Hopefully Mark's car will be ready for the event on the 16th...full tilt at the world record is on the cards if we get it finished.

Good luck Paul, don't be scared to hold it flat!!!

:)

Held it flat...no clutch...broke 3rd-4th selector in the dogbox. :P

Box out on monday to modify/repair...back racing on the 16th. :geek:

Back to clutching it...at least then i can bring it home in one piece.

Need to purchase the uber expensive ex-HRT ignition cut gearknob and control box if i want to flatshift it. Until then its back to using the clutch to unload the drivetrain between gears.

Car is making huge power and sounds like an animal. The anti-lag blew a nice hole in my Trust PE-II exhaust on the dyno the other night while testing it. :)

Unlucky mate, hope you can save the exhaust at least! Did it part at one of the v-band flanges?

Good luck in getting it sorted for the 16th.

the hole blew out at the rear...right on the bend before the rear muffler....the bang wanted to go straight out not turn the corner and go out the rear.

the selector is a PPG billet item...will be re-engineering it to make it stronger. The box itself is a-ok.

HAHAHA NICE! 

thems the breaks!

yeah i always say..."if you can't afford to break it...you can't afford to race it"

I think there may have always been an issue with the box...ive only ever got one good pass out of it since ive fitted it.

Ill call Simon at PPG tomm. and see if i might be putting the wrong oil in it...just to rule that out.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
