Just looking at my wheels and tyres now. I reckon i'll just use them out there, will just need new tyres/pads when i finish.

Already got my cams licence, so it looks like i'll be out there cutting laps :cheers:

Chad- if i dont find a helmet i might have to borrow yours, i'll let u know.

i would but im not sure if car will handle it..

plus i need helmet, pads, oil cooler...

and hope the car lasts... needs a retune to 18psi.

You dont need to thrash the crap out of your car to have fun. I'll probably just run low boost and not rev my car past 7000rpm

So who's keen???? Anyone out there actually keen to come have a go at this???? Andrew will be bringing out his 400kw GTR and i'll be taking my car out to test out the new power. The costs are $100 if you have a CAMS licence and $125 if you dont. Well worth the money if you ask me, as its the most fun i've ever had in my car :P All you need is an approved helmet and long sleeved top and pants (non synthetic) and a car that works.

you know ill be there babe to see you and andrew fly around again you just need to beat 1.16 i think it was

were can i get a helmet from..

Just go to any motorbike shop if your happy with a bike style one, i use a dirt bike helmet cos they have a large opening and keep my face fairly cool.

I need to beat a 1.25.00 and Andrew needs to beat a 1.17.00, we both have new mods and should be able to improve on our old times :P

just watched an old clip of the winfield gtrs at the lala - Skaife qualified with a lazy 1:08:98!!!!!!! Holy sh%t balls batman!! Maybe all the ballast they ran made them faster......

Got new shoes for the GTR yesterday - can't wait to try them out!

maybe the 5 bar of boost helped a bit to Andrew

I know the sierras were running 40psi from the commentry back then, from what I've read the 90's GTRs were only running 1.5bar (22psi) to make 600 horsepower at the flywheel (but were capable of 2 bar no problem): http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/23307-nice-track-skyline-r32.html

I know the '92 GTR's were severely handicapped with weight & boost restrictions, but I read somewhere (and I can't remember where) that the '91 GTR's ran approx 70psi, lol.

That link you posted makes alot of reference to a private vehicle owned by a Mike fella.

You could be right though....I couldn't be stuffed doing a search at the moment.

Pretty sure once all the local car drivers whinged, the boost was restricted to 1.3 bar and 100+kgs of ballast added. Yep - they still kept winning. Before that I think they ran up to 2 bar, but usually 1.5.

a cubic f**kton of hp thanks to 70psi of boost being produced by an antiquated turbo strapped to the side of a 2 litre engine and the putting it all through a h pattern box, locked diff and 8 inch wide tyres while left foot braking to keep it on the boil when you come out of a corner.

yeah, think that might just qualify as a bit of a handful. :(

haha, brilliant description Dave........I was picturing the old Sierras doing just that, as I read your post.

Because of the very famous Godzilla clouding people's thoughts and memories, people actually forget that they were a serious animal as well.

im out. clutch needs to be done, and im worried about that synchro issue after repeated high speed changes, probably wont do my box any good. sigh. next time.

cheers. haha. but the gtr was an animal. the sierra was something else entirely.

    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
