wicked john - nice pics AND new PB

now u just have to aim for a 9sec pass (but maybe after a tube frame nose?)

ps: is that a bonnet cutout or photoshop layer chop?

a big scoop could look really sexy

Awesome read mate, getting me real excited for the potential my Q45 Infiniti has.Funny u mention all the mythical hi po vh engines , ive spent hours searching but none of them are finished ,yours is about the best goin around.

How much did u pay for parts for the chain guide job if u remember?

Hey mate pretty sure from memory they ended up costing me a little over 200 bucks landed here... Let me look back through my records and ill tell u which Dealer in the states i got them from as i had to call quite a few of them before they would help or send parts international.

Hey John, you do know that old man Jay ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...php?showuser=87 ) has a Q45 halfcut V8 for sale, if you are still looking for one?

And yet again I have to say HAWT DAMN Blacky is still looking freaking awesome!

I remember the first time I heard her, on the radio....." ...cmon little MR2, go go go!!!" :O

Was at the 41st australian nationals on the weekend. Set a new PB of 10.38 @ 132 MPH in the middle of the day.. was quite hot and relative altitude was up around 4000, so there is stilla bit left in it..

Though it has become apparent that we are again starting to over power the gearbox, its fine with street tyres the slicks are just a little too much for it. So after some more research we are going to go with a transbrake equiped powerglide... should hapefully get a considerably quicker ET out of it.

Some pics of the car in its latest state...

Congratulations on the times at Willowbank . Would have liked to be there and hear your car . Cant wait to hear mine on full song flatout with open headers at next years salt lake speed trials .

Am interested in your present auto box if you think of selling it . My box is still the stock auto .

Just goes to show you how tuff these engines are , as you say your internals are still stock .

Cyrus: The chute is sitting on top of the bookshelf in my room... Its going on as soon as the new gearbox goes in.. cant wait..

Don: The sound of these engines with open pipes is nothing short of amazing, i promise you will not be disapointed. and yep!! bog stock original everything except for the waterpump... and the cam chain guides its done well over 200 000k's now.. which is nothing short of amazing..

Forgot to mention, i picked up hydraulink QLD for sponsorship and am curently in negotiations with Mr Muffler about major sponsorship and perhaps a colour change...

Don: if you can make it out to Jamboree ill be doing 3 Qualifiers on Saturday but not racing as the car doesnt quite make the 9.99 cut off for the Extreme class just yet... I promise though its not far off :D

Incredible effort on this two year journey! :D

Read the whole thread, took about an hour but was worth it.... The Highs.. The Lows... the Excitement.... wondering how it was going to end...

Hell, 10.38@132Mph is a happy ending for now!

Thanks buddy, much appreciated aye.

Don: sorry forgot to answer your gearbox question, my mate is very keen on it as he is sticking one in a drag car of his own, but ill keep u posted if he doesnt take it.

I will make the effort to get out to Willowbank . I believe they have loud music playing and young girls showing off all the good bits , BUGGA , I want classical music and nannas . ( well i am a grandpa ) :happy:

Congrats John.

I have some video for you of the pB - I promise i will updload it.

Will do on Weds night.

Ive gotta run off now.

well done, cant wait to see you at Jambo.

mick

I have a video of Blacky just after the conversion, before the psi, I can host and post it if you want John, but wont compare to what it is now. Still has all the stock insides, dash and stuff.

Hey Don, gearbox is yours if u want it... my PG should be here in a month or so.

GDAY , i had all intentions of getting out to the Jamboree , but just .. excuses i wont bore you with them .

Am still interested in the auto box , ph me on 0423 546 380 .

Don

    • Yeah. air pressure leakdown test is where I would be headed next here, using one's ears to determine whether it's the valves or bores/rings leaking...
    • More likely you didn't bed the rings in correctly and have glazed the bores. Running with misfires on a fresh build is somewhat of a no-no. Surely no-one "smoke tests" the combustion chamber? That's what a leakdown test is for. Smoke testing is, um, a bit of a wank at best, and only really useful for external pipework.  
    • Well, obviously that kit is not a relocation kit or anything other than just the original isolators and the like. I would suggest that it should be a matter of just bending up some flat bar to build a mount over the top of some other diff, with the flat bar held to the back of the diff by the rear hat bolts. A little welding, a little thinking about how to secure the front of this structure, maybe some different hoses in case you can't get it in just the right place.
    • Pay diff/trans workshop to do this.   Nope. Z32 turbo ran R230 with 6 bolt GTR style axles. All other Z32 were R200. Basically same same as other R32 stuff. All were a viscous waste of space.
    • So, I'm not a diff swapsies specialist, but I am pretty sure the 300zx ran an R220 not and R200 like the C34 Stagea, so I think it is of no use to you. As you said, all you need to do is get the centre swapped in the diff you have, which might be best done by a diff specialist. The current centre is probably desirable to someone to track so an easy path might be to swap your mechanical centre for someone with a standard centre (which is a viscous LSD, and almost certainly won't have any limited left). The only thing you have to watch swapping R200 internals between diffs is that the number of splines on your car's stub axles has to match the donor car, or you need the centre+stub axles and make sure they have the same number and pattern of bolt holes as your rear axles.  You swap your current ratio onto the new centre so you don't have to worry about matching the front. Alternatively, centres like the Nismo pro are much gentler (and have adjustable "tightness") so you could buy on of those from somewhere like Jesse Streeter or Nengun (noting it may cost you 1234% extra in tariffs by the time it lands)
