Well a good weekend... lots of positives, the extra power is helping, and the set up is coming along.

Smashed the front bar to bits on Saturday during Team Drift... never mind...

Sunday saw me up agains Kelly McKinnon, It was pretty tight first battle, but unfortunatly my handbrake got stuck on in the second battle and I spun... real bugger as I certainly had a chance... guess that is being chucked in the bin this week and replaced with a proper drift hand brake...

Team drift was fun, although a big smash saw the session canned after only one run.

Can't wait for Eastern creek at the end of next month... new turbo and a whole lot more incoming... stay tuned!

Nice one Kinks!!! Post up some pics when you get it.

Richard, end of next month... as it says in the last line of the post... but more specifically in case that was what you meant... 29th and 30th of July.

See you all then!

Oh, and thanks for getting my AFR around the right way... I hate going by memory.

The Bel Motorsports sticker is on the wrong way around to be JDMyo

they are supposed to go from the front to the back of the vehicle...

But that is unless you are like Kelly McKinnon who thinks the other way

around is more aggressive looking... Anyway, take it or leave it.

If you look at this truck in my carpark you can see the way it works

with Chinese/Katakana characters... The letters are the correct way

around but go from the front to the back of the truck.

Anyway, congratulations on the results, keep up the good work!

Well development is coming along rather well... now have 224rwkw at a low 0.9bar of boost and at around 155kms in 4th gear. we also made 712nm at 70kms in 4th, and averaged 644nm across the entire rev range!

Which probably explains why I have no 4th gear syncro left. and 3rd gear is spitting out sometimes... I knew it would break eventually... but I was hoping for a little later in the season!

I have 2 dyno graphs, but I'll scan them tomorrow, or next week.

See you all at Eastern Creek the weekend after next!

Cheers,

Dan.

lol... you guys are vultures!!!

If I buy a new box the old one is being kept as a spare, looks like we will be buying a second handy for this round, and rebuilding the old one a bit stronger... especially as we are looking for more power still too!

If I look to sell it Nathan I'll give you a bell. (pm)

Did I show you the new Pipe work and Catch can that RoadRunner Fabrications made up for me? Very Pretty!!!

Catch Can

And also someone asked a while back about dyno graphs... I finally remembered to get them... and they are below.

First is Power,224RWKW @ 12psi (0.9bar). We did another run with 20psi (1.3bar) and only made 227rwkw... so it is time for a bigger huffer... BRING IT ON.

Second is torque... again same settings as above, in fact same run! Max 712NM, Min 497NM, AVERAGE across the run was 644NM

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
