For every ones info. I replaced the V Spec II sticker on my car, with a genuine Nissan sticker. It was super expensive, but aside from that, the sticker is shaped to match the corner of the back boot like a template. This means that you can use the corners and edges of the boots to get the sticker in the exact factory position. Pretty sweet. I was surprised.

Just checked my spare sticker (my original is just showing a tiny amount of peel on one corner....) - you are right - how clever of them......

Cheers

PS That Edward Lee Video should be pinned somewhere as a "must see" for anyone who ever considers buying a car from that guy, with annotations about all the misleading statements.......

Good luck this weekend Bob! :D At the very least I'm sure you will have fun!

Yep had fun but my times were ..........OK????????

My best 1/4 mile was 13.399 (slip attached) but my best terminal speed was 178.94 kph a couple of runs later (111mph).

With that speed I should have been well into the 12's but my 0-30' times are horrible.

I just can get it off the line. I tried it in 2WD mode by pulling the fuse but that was worse!!!!!!

I just sat there and smoked the tyres. :closedeyes::closedeyes::closedeyes::closedeyes::closedeyes:

Anyway, I flogged a few of my mates in stock HSV's and GT Falcons (mid to low 14"s)!

Cheers,

Bob.

Its all in tyre pressure Bob. Need to be 15psi from memory, can't remember exactly but it's a super low pressure.

Once that is set, 2nd gear burn out in rwd mode then flick to awd, on the limiter and release the clutch...when it hooks up you will be shocked what g's these cars can pull on take off.

Mine did a flat 13 when it was stock as a rock...won't get much better than that although I've heard they run a PB 12.8

Thanks Marko,

Modern Motor (April 1990 issue) ran a 13.1 stock........ That's the best I've seen in any publication. Most run around 13.7.

My tyres were set at 27psi for the fronts and 22 psi for the rears...... Guess I stuffed up on that one.

I normally run them at 34 and 30 on the road.

Was pleased with the terminal speed though.

Bob.

At 111mph it's not stock and probably making closer to 270kw at the wheels and should be doing flat 12s or even into the 11s

100% correct........ Unigroup dyno'd it at 271.6 rwkw.

Bob.

what is not stock on the car Bob?

Bar the exhaust, (3.5" front Pipe, 3" Hi Flow Cat, 3.25 Rear pipe, 3 and Hiflow rear muffler) everything you CAN'T see.......

  • Nistune
  • Sard 720cc injectors
  • Lager Walbro fuel pump
  • HKS Boost Controller
  • Splitfire coils
  • Excedy HD Clutch

nice. The Walbro pump is not to noisy?

No....... The exhaust must drone it out!

A mate of mine had a Brock Commodore VK Group A that was tricked up with a Walbro pump and that was horrendously noisy so I know what you mean.

That's still very respectable, and at least you had fun... that's the main part!

How were you launching the car Bob? These things need a little tough love from the start line, you might feel bad in doing it but it's what she's made for :) There's absolutely more to be had from your car, your 60 foot time of 2.1s could come down to 1.6 to 1.8 seconds with a bit of practice - I'm not a drag racing expert by any stretch of the imagination but that little bit shaved off the front end often seems to translate to a larger amount shaved off at the other end.

Well done in any event, at least you came out the winner against the HSVs and FPVs! :)

  • 1 month later...

So just an update on my gtr,

Installed new timing belt, HKS cam gears, water pump etc,

Bought a power fc and some hks 550cc injectors.

I had a second hand apexi avcr so I just used the boost solenoid and wiring and converted it to my power fc.

Got the car back from the tuner today and made 265kw's on 1.1bar boost!

Pretty happy and the car feels a hell of alot more alive than before!

Hey guys,

I've been off sau for a year or two. Sure we used to have another rare register with a good record of vpsecs and n1s? I'm probably just lost tho, lol.

Anyway adding for the community, in Brisbane with a 1994 Vspec II N1. Unfortunately not very standard! :-)

Cheers

Michael

Fortunately, Australia has acquired 2x BNR32 V-Spec II N1 in recent times.

Congratulations to you Michael as well.

We'd like to grab them before Canada's timeline permits...

Last six digits on mine are -311603

It's still awaiting compliance.

is that a genuine N1 Terry?

Car looks very nice.

    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
