Looking good so far, the final tune will be a more accurate tale of how it drives

So far it looks like a lot of wheel spin though so it should be fun to keep in a straight line

with my 275 federals on the rear it had rubbish traction in 1st and 2nd but 3rd wasnt to bad (spinning a little but still progressing forward) but 4th gear hooked up and it just goes.

with the 7psi spring in the gate boost came on lazy which aids traction so thats about to be destroyed on monday when the boys at mercury retune it with the 14psi spring and id say traction is lost up to 4th on the 275 federals!

but the people that know me know that i hate not having traction, thats why i used to run RE55's on the street. so ill be chasing wider tires and wheels to get this down.

when its tuned on e85 i think its clearly going to need a decent width full slick. have to just wnat and see but ill update the forum when it comes to that.

hay mate, its how its tuned, he has given me some drivability. there arent any boost leaks and def not going a smaller rear housing. if anything id go a bigger turbo like the GTX45r, it would be perfe

The par gear sets are amazing mate. I had billet selector forks in it too.I had mine for 5-6 years. With power over 800hp and 28 inch drag tyre it was doing its job.

ok so the boy at mercury motorsport changed the wastegate spring from a 7psi to a 14psi spring to bring on boost faster and get more mid range.

The new tune was on slightly less boost, (20 psi down to 19.5psi) and the dyno shows that the 14psi spring gave 25hp more power in the mid range.

The boys at mercury also did a 2nd run with my rear muffler taken off the exhaust, (the rear muffler is a hks super drager muffler that we think is 3inch) my exhuast system is 4 inch down to 3.5 inch at the diff then the 3 inch muffler.

by taking the muffler off the car made an extra 32hp which now give me a total of

524.3 hp on 19.5psi on pump fuel with the limiter at 7100rpm.

ill be looking at putting a full 4inch exhaust and mufflers on the car soon.

here is a photo of the dyno sheet and a photo of the car on the dyno

today the car was on the hoist to install a PWR power steering cooler on, due to the pressure the power steering pump will get from wide full slick tires.

also some brained lines were installed on the brakes with new racing brake fluid. The brakes at the moment are still relatively standard with standard Nissan calipers front and rear with 301mm EBC slotted rotors with EBC red stuff pads on the front and 298mm project mu SCR and greed stuff pads rear.

this area of the car will certainly be changing in the future but i feel that i need to get the car out there again with the new engine and to see what is exactly needed.

im racing at queensland raceway this tuesday on the sprint and clubman tracks, if your free come out for a look!

photos are of the front and rear brakes that i have for the moment!

Think you need a 20 psi spring, unless the boost curve is helping those poor rear tyres, are you considering traction control?

the 14psi spring is great. boost is only tuned to 19psi on current tune.

did you see the photo of the michelin full slick track tires thats 3 post back mate?

and there are a few things left on the car to be done with suspension and mods that promote the rear to squat under power and not to bounce back up quickly.

traction control has not be consisted as there isn't a problem just yet on this tune and there is so many other things to play with to get traction.

How did you find the brakes mate?. I've always thought the factory calipers are very underrated.

hay Neil, mate yes i do agree i believe that the standard brake are underrated but still at the speeds i was carrying was still to much for them, today i was maxing 4th gear out at QR on the main stright by the flag tower and wasn't braking till half way in 5th. my speed tacko doesnt work so i dont know what speed that is but its over 200ks.

update onto today, traction is still an issue coming out of corners, its fine when im straight from 2nd onwards when im straight though.

i have no down force on the rear so a wing and rear defuser will help and also doing a mod the takes out the factory anti squating needs to be done to let the rear bit down and grip.

oil catch can needs a drain line going to the sump so that going to be done next and also getting a custom sump made as mine is still standard.

i have some photos of it on the trailer but once i get some of the car going round the track ill post them up.

thumbs up

Getting much blow by?

The wheel fitment looks great, are the guards rolled?

by the 2nd last session it over flowed a little, but i have no idea how much if any oil was already sitting in the catch can from power play, for my last session the boys emptied the catch can and i went out a did a the 5 hot laps then came in and it had 25mm in there.

i think its better to have a drain line back into the sump then to have less oil in there from it blowing back.

the car gets new oil after every track day also.

So you don't have the mines baffles?

I put them in and zero blow by :P

plus that's a heap easier than adding a fitting to the sump, making a line etc

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By The Bogan · Posted

      I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay

      An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).

      Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the piss  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks

      have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot!
