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.

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
