Hey

Yeah ill be there ! 

Hussling hard now to get seat time and make car all good  see if can get some early track time over east

🤞

Itd be really nice to have some luck 😁

Nice! I hope it all works out. At least now you know the track as well and can build from last year. Looking forward to see your car in action again.

You know it's cold when even the Tasmanian's are rugged up!

Can't wait to see the pictures of the next step.

Its was definitely cold 🥶  us w.a people dont take too well to it

 

We even took to doing 2 warm up laps to get to the tyre temp we wanted 

 

Update for those that want a read

A week before Aus Time Attack in Vic did a prac day got few laps then carbon bonnet decided to fold on itself whether it too much air under the lip, a pin failure or just pin not cliped in it happened... got fab guy to plate it 2mm ally each side and wrapped it. 15kg heaver but solid and mad max ready to race

Did pretty decent with 4th in Open class and 6th outright with 1.24 flat

Way more in it I was just too inconsistent to extract a quicker time without more track time and by the time I got decent enough to drive a good lap the tyres where cooked

Still OK

Drove the car straight up to Sydney and put in storage ready for WTAC flew home to Perth 

Blaaa blaaa the opportunity came to replace the billet RB2.7 with a brand new RB2.8 billet nitto wide journal complete engine a round about deal was done and Dahtones put it in this week and Brads tuning it on Thurs

FB_IMG_1719899642824.thumb.jpg.b0422434428bf0c96f8cd286304907ab.jpgIMG_20240713_090449_940.thumb.jpg.248e00ace528deda8e20f2981cc5948a.jpg

The RB2.7 would be avaiable for purchase from Racetech is anyone wants it such a killa engine !!

Apart from that its back into storage till the new bonnet gets put on and I rock back to Sydney  in 6 weeks on the Monday before WTAC to prep the car get some practice in and send it and see what happens!

 

Update over ... for now 😁

in reality the new engine was a swap alot because it was brand new vs 3 years old and the other one needing a refresh after wtac anyway

but... the 2.8 is obvious capacity etc and will do current power more easily and add some responsiveness not that that was really lacking 

the limiting factor with all this atm is injectors (ID1700s at 4 bar base) and turbo (precision 6780) literally being maxed out at bang on 1000hp as thats what the system was designed to do, so to go more need injectors, turbo and  maybe even intercooler

but i know a guy that like his power and will see how this all unfolds 

it is a rwd drive on an 050 tyre though and i am just a complete amateur so among other things the ability to drive it becomes a consideration also 

>complete amateur
>1:24 at Winton laggy massive HP RWD R32

I dunno about the first part
I would argue this use case probably doesn't need VCT, won't be in the rev range that it would ever be active!

medium amateur ??

VCT rather have than not and they NEO heads anyway... agree shouldnt be down there in revs agree but one  does stuff up at times and does help 😁

Wouldn't it be of the power range where a larger cam is more beneficial that is not VCT friendly?

Generally speaking I'm ALL for smaller cams and VCT, but I am not making 1000HP in a time attack car. This could actually be an application where a larger camshaft that isn't VCT capable may actually have a use case.

Youd think.. dunno

Big cams and VCT makes all the sense.

Kind of have the best of both worlds (kinda).

All these engines run Tomie B pro poncams

This becomes above my pay grade and rely on others and get I quote "your decision making powers have been revoked" 😅

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
