Absolutely AWESOME work, Brad! I was just thinking about you the other day, 'cos I haven't seen you post for a while.

Good to see you're still keeping up with maintaining and improving the car, and giving it a good run once in a while.

thanks for all the kind words everyone :blush:

thanks Paul (DirtGarage) i have already been told i need a tailshaft loop, 4 point harness, battery isolator switch and ANDRA license before i can race again.

I dont know how far i wanna go yet, i have plenty more left in the engine and alot of people laughed when i said im aiming for 10s in it, its my main goal for the car then im 90% set on putting the motor into a 32 gtr to do more track work and drags, i dont think the stagea will cop a full rollcage so ill only get one go at a 10 before im banned :ermm:

i wasnt really a huge fan of draging the car and thought it would be rather boring once i do a time but i really enjoyed it :whistling:

thanks for the pics too dodgsun

well go out in style brad

get all the necessary stuff to run again, but this time get some drag radials (on some 16's if they'll clear the brakes) and just go out on a WAW night and just practice launching

back of half track, run 11+, then when you feel confident let er rip and give us a slip that says 10.6 or something crazy like that

Well done Brad.... isn't there any way that you can return it to AWD. That'd get rid of most of the wheelspin factor. Don't you think that the Transfer box would take it? Or do you think that it would sap that much power that it isn't worth it?

Pity, I was nearly gonna go down there on Sunday.......... just didn't happen, but if I'd known that you were running, I would have been there.

Or do you think that it would sap that much power that it isn't worth it?

Running it in 4WD wouldn't take any extra power, only dyno power is affected, not in the real world. Let's face it, the front wheels have to be rotated, whether that is done directly by 4WD or indirectly by the road. So 4WD doesn't really affect how much horsepower it takes to make the car accelerate down the track.

The most power difference I have seen in a Skyline between 2WD and 4WD on the same dyno is ~25 hp, of which a goodly proportion would be turning the front wheels and the front dyno rollers. What's left is hardly significant, especially in Brad's case.

Something to think about.

Cheers

Gary

the car was in 4wd all day at drags and traction was still a major issue in 1st and 2nd gear i am thinking of fitting up some r comp tyres or nittos, etc for next drag runs to help it along quicker.

Yes i seen that Magna wagon, how did it get home in the end?

Ztuned yes thats the engine bay :)

omg ultimate sleeper. if u don't mind me posting pix from the last day cruise

P3090017.jpg

pretty sure that your engine bay right?

ohhh shiny

shiny enough to see the people standing around looking at it :)

good move with getting new tyres ;)

they even called it a magna too :)

made up for it when it spanked a modded stagea though. :(

I had the same comment from the owner of a higly modified supercharged, Nos'd, tubbed LS2 owner. He was real proud, as are you I guess.

i would have thought a legnum with an exhaust, and a stagea with a few other mods would be a fair comparison... o_O

Unfortunately when you put 15psi in a s2 you have hit the boost cut. And she slows bad . But i drove home and the leggy got home very difficultly . But 14.5 consistently all day in AWD class and to take out the championship me be very happy with my slow stag .

    • AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.
    • Heys guys I got a r32 gtst speedo is out by 10kph seems the faster I go the more it be out  just seeing if anyone else had to problem and knows how to fix it 
    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
