Paul,

I am absolutely in love with this car man.

Seriously insane stuff...possibility of passenger run?

Ive actually put it away for a few months...its not quite sorted and my race licence and log book expired yesterday.

We are working on setting the car up so it launches consistently...it either bogs down of the line or blows the tyres off the thing. When it hooks up im using most of the lane to keep it off the walls so the suspension is not where it should be. I kid you not this thing will run 8's or at the least very low 9's when its right...im in no doubt of that.

The engine is producing over 1000hp on only 29psi of boost!

so how did compak attack go? did it run the 9.44 or 9.1? pic looks good. :sick:

Due to the fact we were unable to get the power to the track it ran 10.00 @ 144

the 60' was a very slow 1.8...4/10's slower than my best...4/10's in the 60 is 8/10ths at the end of the track so it was a 9.20 car with that power.

its a really hard car to drive now...Dave (T04GTR) said he was surprised how difficult it actually was to get the car down the track. Racing a car of this calibre is not as easy as some may think, there is a very fine line between bogging the launch, blazing the tyres, keeping it off the walls and a clean quick pass. I tip my hat to guys who have ran sub 9.50's in a GTR on radials as its not childs play.

Being part of the Godzilla Motorsport team now means i have access to one of the best teams in the world at car set-up. Mark Jacobsen knows exactly what the car now needs to perform and we will be making some changes to the car, setting it up to launch in the same manner as his 7 second car. A lot of these set-up changes involve keeping the driveline loaded prior to launch and keeping the turbo on boost as the clutch locks up. Scott Kuhner from Insight Motorsports has also joined the team and his knowledge has also been well recieved.

Ive got 39 passes under my belt now so im getting more and more experience with how this stuff is done. To run sub 10's on my 24th pass was a massive achievement...to run sub 9's on twice as many passes would be incredible.

all i hear is excuses!! haha just kidding mate. well done. 140+mph is very rapid! it must feel damn quick now. :sick:

the car will run the time...but can the driver?

i ran a great pass the other night...a few said it looked like a 9.5...but i deep staged and reset the timing board...no time was recorded. The Vi-PEC data will tell me roughly what it ran and give me an exact MPH.

:D :D

Thats a shame..

I'm sure it will come out better than ever tho!

still tho...i want a passenger run!

was wondering if you could put the dyno sheet up for your new set up? i remember you making a comment on my head not being put together correctly after posting a sheet on my SPL 51R with 62R rear and was wondering if i could compare your graph with mine to see how much earlier yours comes on, seeing you have the correct head work.

cheers

no

i have a better idea...ill post up 2 graphs...same car, same dyno...HKS T51R SPL BB Turbo...two different heads...nothing else changed.

that would be much nicer to look at. :P

bshhahhaahhaha, paul with a subtle reponse.

ive softened it up with a little edit.

i only said this...

there is an obvious lack of headwork apparant...or the correct type of headwork

then backed it up with actual experience here

you can actually get T51R's to make power earlier...but it takes a fair bit of experience and r & d. Ive seen what we thought the was perfect set-up (made 500AWKW at 25psi on 98 pump fuel) come alive 1000rpm earlier and made another 50AWKW with a different approach to the port work and camshaft change.

and he wants to 'dyno pepsi challenge' me.

ahh well...ill see if i can squeeze Scott for a graph.

Bakes the only place i will ever beat your car is on a racetrack...everywhere else you have me covered.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
