New tyres, bugger-all fuel, VDC-off, and wait for it......the baby seat was onboard!!!!I'll have to get pictures to compete with Handbrake!!

Nice, congats on that sub 3 second time. That is just insane for a street car, and on the street no less. A lot of quick cars at the strip would have a hard time getting that 0-100 on a prepared surface let alone the street.

Truthfully, my experience is with a fast street car on street tyres your times are actually quicker on the street than a prepped track.

My previous GTR never turned all four tyres in THIRD gear on the street but consistently did on Willowbank's prepped surface.

My theory is that on a smooth prepped trach a street tyre cannot "key" into the texture like it can on the street. Hence, a slick tyre is what you really want for a prepped track.

Regardless, 2.9 to 100,..... man, wow, that's fast! :)

Lovely shot of the kids 'handbrake' , they're beautiful mate! :)

..and yes this very point is lost amongst many people out there talking up other performance/supercars Corvette Zr-1, 911 Gt2, Lambo Gallardo LP560 etc and appreciated by family men (like us) with young kids

09GT-R, what an insane time, well done! (2.9sec 0-100 km/h) what an interesting youtube vid that would make!, that's just not hypercar fast...that is superbike quick! What sort of 1/4 mile time does that translate to?

Also does the car look stock from the outside?, for me that would be the ultimate, a stock standard looking car that accelerates like a superbike, with all the mod cons and even a baby seat! :P

This is exactly what i found. The 0~100km/hr was slower on the WSID prepped surface, which sort of had me stumped. What you say makes sense.

When I recorded this time I didn't do a quarter mile as I was in a 110 kph zone. The car has run a 10.8 at wsid with 370kw at the wheels, but now has 401 kw at the wheels, so theoretically I should be able to manage a time less than 10.8 given similar conditions. Of course thats with pump gas. I might put some decent high octane juice in it next time I go to the drags, ditch the baby seat and have a crack at a mid 10. I have some 800cc injectors on the way. CRD will install these and design a new map. CRD reckon this combo would be good for 420ish at the wheels. Who knows what time is achievable then. I will definitely video my next drag run - I'm going to wait for the injectors, and a cool wednesday evening...then its game on.

Yes the car looks completely stock from the outside (currently covered in orange dust from broken hill).

I'll keep you posted, and you are right, this one fast people mover.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
