Guessing the 3ltr was in for superlap? Sounds quieter than a 26 in that vid.

What block did you guys end up using, just a run of the mill nissan item, one of the 4wd blocks rips sells, or some other variant?

Impressive steering in the in-car vid too :banana:

Looks like it will scare some of the american/japanese workshop built cars once the attessa is sorted!

yep it's 3ltr. and was 3ltr at superlap. it's far from quiet though, but it does sound different for sure.

most of the engine is from a tomei drag car (yellow 34), but obviously rebuilt. from memory it's a regular nissan rb30 block but mark or russ can confirm that.

it should be very good once sorted. i'm currently sussing out some more events for us in japan after the tsukuba time attack. we are looking to get into some of the best motoring style 5 lap tuner battles against other jap tuned pro class GTRs. now that would be something special. also want to run the car at fuji speedway. mark reckons with the right diffs it will pull 300km+++ at fuji and I don't doubt it. :D

lol, fark it wasn't me! ;)

yeah you are right mate. the yellow tomei R34 along with a couple of other cars was stolen by some lowlifes when it was for sale in aus. I'm not sure how much of the full story is public and I imagine it's a pretty touchy subject but the relevant part here is some stuff was recovered. and of that stuff mark and russ bought some of the bits. not much though. mainly just bonnet, boot and some engine stuff :D

Just spotted the car in the *new & improved* Auto Salon magazine.

The mag is still probably not to everyones' taste, but it's got good coverage of what the boys have been up to.

Congrats to Mark & Russ - great to see the interest and support the car is generating.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
