Right well being an aussie i'll assume you're taking the piss. I try not to let on I'm intelligent. Glad to hear I succeeded. Dave

Engine gurus in Aus say a microtech piggyback is the only way to go? Are you kidding me? Re t/b, do what you want, its turbo, wont' have particularly good response in any case, and you can fiddle with the actuation a tad anyway. Dave

Jesus Silent, is that you in that pic? You're a tall bugger for a zed driver! I'm 6'4 and I thought I was pushing it! Dave

No video of this? Whats this then? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1347393782666593815&q=datsun

Sorry about the violacleff, I totally missed your question, Tourniquet has it though. Multiply by 0.7457 to convert from hp to kw. From another thread we were talking about, dynojets read approximately 15-17% higher than australian dyno dynamics, so 500usrwhp is around 415ausrwhp. Still a lot of power in anyones language, but in a 1100kg car, would be very interesting. Thats around what I want from my GT35R engine @ ~22psi. Go for it on3go. Dave

Haha.. talk it up guys! Will be more interesting when you guys are all running 20psi+. Hurry up. Will come down to who brought their semi-slick tyres the most recently. Haha. Dave

Definitely Jeff. Sounds like the 0.63 is working well for you. We shall have to compare dynos at some point. You can definitely feel the car start to come alive at 3000 and then go nuts at just over 3500 in my car. Tis kinda fun. Pointless without semi slicks though. Wheelspin coming on in 4th is fun, but a tad dangerous. Dave

1. I'm not sure but that sounds like a bad idea to me. And what pump? 2. No idea sorry. I wouldn't be doing water injection unless I had a system to control it with a nice 3d tunable map for it, just like fuel. Dave

Good to hear mate! Whats it making now? Dave

Haha.. sounds like fun. Good luck with the tuning issue. Dave

Ahhh.. silly me.. Is there something else that happens when the wing goes up that they're not telling us? No fancy pants elec ride height adjustment or anything? Interesting stuff always. Dave

They're not talking about a wing reducing lift as much as they're talking about ground effect causing downforce at the back. Whats the question again? Dave

What yo2001 said! Thats massive timing dude! Here is mine: Notice the sharp drop at 15psi between 3500 and 4500. Thats where boost comes on and where it blew the h/g last time so I was being ultra careful. No det with that map, will tune it some more when I get to the dyno. I am going to take some pics of my detonation detectors and write a tutorial tomorow. Dave

Just to keep the ball rolling with the videos. This is one of my getting my tail whooped by a historic trans-am mustang (I think). Please keep in mind that a, this was my first track day ever; b, I was only tuned for 10psi; c, I had no boost control, had to feather the throttle as it came on and hold it at around 40% max; d, I had bugger-all camber and enough air to live on for a week in my brake lines. 20psi, brakes and 3.5 deg camber next time out, I hope the result will be different next time. http://gallery.jrcarparts.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=3895 Enjoy, Dave

Wanna post your timing map and we can compare perhaps? Also depends what cam is in it and a whole lot of other things as well. How are you listening for det? What fuel do you run it on? Dave

violacleff has a TSO4/T58. Which I don't know much about, but sure sounds bigger than a T3. BTW, bigger turbos do not make more power because they more more air at less psi. The amount of air your car ingests is what counts. They typically make more power due to less restriction in the exhaust causing less reversion, better cylinder filling. Also a larger compressor will give you some more efficiency at a given flow (with in reason obviously) but this is 2 10ths of fuckall. Dave

Dennis, There is no `stock' GT35R. There are three different PNs for three different turbine housing sizes. 0.63, 0.82 and 1.06. I went the 0.82 housing, but I've got a 1.06 waiting. A mate who races a RB30ET with GT35R said his car was completely undrivable with the 0.82. I haven't had it on the track with the 0.82 and a decent w/g spring, but I think he might be right. These things hit HARD. Dave

I think Jon is on the money with law of diminishing returns. $200 wilwood caliper versus a $1000 alcon/apracing caliper.. 5 times a good you reckon? I'll be using 4SL/STs for my zed. The pad size is identical to the 6-spot you mention Richard, so all you're getting is more even pad wear, planning on doing any endurance races? I'm not, so the 4s will do fine. 4SL/STs on the front.. maybe the twin sumis on the rear? Dave

Awesome work Brian. I stand corrected. Would you confirm that the stock L28ET head gasket is: 11044-P7911 ? Thanks, Dave

I dare say its not a HKS gasket, its a Nismo head gasket. I can't see Nissan having PNs for HKS stuff, can you? Dave

Nice work. I just realised why your car looks different, no bumpers. I'm taking mine off soon too, but I got fibreglass replacements. Good work! Dave

Hah. Your friend is obviously not a zed owner. ``Easy into the corners''? Please. Dave

Definitely handy with the fabricationing. Shiny. Dave

Very nice touring road I agree. I like em twistier. Highway 1, CA for me I hope. Your car sounds awesome. Dave
