HMMMMM..........

this is good news, ty

[dahandfull]

can't remember if i read it, but what happens when you need to fit a chute??

[Nur33]

how much guard work carried out to fit 275 width tyre in?

ie just lipped/rolled?

can you maintain full lock still?

im looking at different setups for my 32 but still cant decide between 18's and 19's. maybe 19's for street and 18's for track.

ps.

awesome work Ben, love the tru jdm inspired gtr

Cheers Dahandful it is mostly JDM.

With the tires hitting, they do hit the guards but that is only because of the soft drag suspension but i have raised it a lil bit and its fine now. They do not hit on full on lock either and I am running very low camber's i think it 0.5 or 1 degree on the front and about 1.3 degree on the back and my guards are standard and haven't been rolled. If you roll the guards and add more camber along with stiffer suspension they would fit very easily. Our goal at the moment is to try run 9 seconds on the 19" Advans before we go to the 17" Mickey Thompson's.

Haha yeah the officials at Palmyra dragway have all ready told us to get a parachute before our next attempt, it will be getting ordered very shortly. I pretty sure the Andra rules state a 9 sec pass or over 140mph you must have a chute, we got a 10.9 @ 135mph so bugger .

[Nur33]

Where exactly did you source the titanium tube from mate?

Got the titanium from XS Power in the UK

Your welcome to call me Mike

I love the jdm look, exactly how a gtr should be (in my humble opinion - hence the same for my car )

i think from memory i am running 2° on the front and about 1.3° on the rear (no guard roll) with 34gtr wheels and 265 re55's. i test fitted a set of 19x10 +15's which looked awesome and filled the guards nicely. im guessting ill have to go like a 245 or 255 to fit without drama's. im going to hit up tirerack.com too, good prices... thanks !

hehe, dont u just love that. so maybe got one more run in it before the assert their power...lol

had anymore thoughts on the side exit exhaust?

[Nur33]

If you can Mike when you talk to the people at tire rack ask them to say that it was under $1000 dollars so you don't get hit with stamp duty, i know RHD and Nengun will do it for you. But i ordered 2 set of tires last time through tire rack and got hit with about $500 stamp duty .

Gonna play around with the tune next time we attack the strip ,and gonna ramp the boost up in each gear to eliminate wheel spin and are in the market for a strange gauge/ ignition cut flat shifter to get quicker and cleaner gear changes, hopefully get the 9 seconds we want all on the 700hp tune, time will tell. As for the side pipe... its up to discussion at the moment, we will see how we go with the practice welds on the titanium as my brother and I are gonna try do it ourselves, probably will all turn to shit hahaha!!!!!!

[UWISSH!]

i was talking with one of our tig welders at work who is very experienced as i asked him previously about welding titanium

titanium is very hard/ tricky to weld, alot of care needs to be taken

also from memory has to be performed in a clean seald room to get perfect weld.

i havnt tried doing it, just going buy what he has told me. This would also explain why titanium products are not cheap as materials and labour to do the job are expensive

[r33_racer]

So long as you purge the tube while welding it and have a trailing gas setup you should be fine.

Wont be perfect, but you will get better as you go.

Twoogle had one in his car. He got a guy in Sydney to set it up for him. I actually gave the bloke the gear shift leaver out of my car so he could set it up for him. The guy wanted to see how the lever was setup for a GTR before I removed it. It had the strain gauge and amplifier box that connected to an input on the ecu for ignition cut when changing. I can find out from Paul where he got it done as I can't remember the name of the company.

its actually a very nice piece of gear nathan, paul showed me when I was at his place. Its good that he kept it for his next car!

Mark at Godzilla Motorsport knows a guy who does them and he is chasing it up for us, and I have another company in the UK who make them for Rally cars, currently doing a bit of research on. I rang up Motec and they gave me the name of a company in Sydney as well could be the same one you are talking about can't remember the name of them either i have it written down somewhere.

Hay mate how much did you pay for the sucrogen E85 in a drum? What do you think of it.

Hay mate how much did you pay for the sucrogen E85 in a drum? What do you think of it.

I get Sucrogen at cost pirce because i am the North Queensland dealer. But i retail if for $650 a drum because the freight to get it here is absolutely bullshit.

As for results if you fuel system is up to the task and have a decent guy who knows how to tune it then you should get a pretty good power increase. A mate of mine Dave at CPV Performance, who is the local Ford guru here in Mackay has been doing some testing with E85 and on his pretty much stock FG F6 he got a 50rwkw increase just by changing form 98pump fuel to Sucrogen E85. We run it in or R32 Drag Car as well but we never ran it on pump fuel to get a comparison, but we managed to make 800hp @ all 4's only on 26-27psi of boost. When i am down in Brisbane again the car will be getting tuned for more boost and should make 1000hp @ all 4's. I also have a mate with a Supra kitted out with a HKS T51R SPL and a Titan 3.2L Bottom End and it makes about 750HP on pump fuel, he is going to switch to Sucrogen very soon once he upgrades the fuel system, i am very interested to see the results.

Depending on where you live probably best to call your nearest dealer. I highly recommend it and the way the fuel prices are going Surcogen will be just as affordable as pump fuel.

Ben,

Any ideas on the shelf life of running an E85? Im contemplating make the a permanent change and having the drum setup in my shed to decant from when need to top up the car (still street driven)

[johnbarry88]

less than 12 months just sitting around goes green and yuky well our drum did

[Nur33]

Sucrogen told us that if it is kept off the ground (like a wooden pallet) in a cool dry place the shelf life is like something ridiculous like 100yrs.
