Step 3 2.8 and T04Z, can't remember if that was with the 0.86 or the 1.00, I had both fitted for a while.
That was on 15" Nittos though which were worth 1/2 a second, not proper road tyres. 1.4 60'
My gas equated to about 60bhp at the hubs.

Great result Tim, I presume you ran more than 1.6 Bar though?
The Nur must have been close to 1600KG too?
Something for us with 'road cars' to aspire to

Just 1.6 bar and well over 1600kg.

Sorry to go off topic.

Bloody good reults though, considering the weight??

[R.I.P.S NZ]

A good 60ft and a sequential box would have had alot to do with those times and you can't expect to do similar times unless you get the 60 ft similar and have the box to help you.

A 9 in any case is a great acheivement.

Any updates?

O.K. we are now back on track again. The twins are coming off and a complete custom made T04z is going on with the 91 housing. Rob at RIPs is doing all the fabrication work, ie exhaust manifold, etc. I estimate that in about a fortnight it should be up and running, assuming that Rob at RIPs can send the bits and pieces A.S.A.P. and that Rob (Tweenierob) at Perfect Touch is not tied up doing something else. Really wanted the T51 but couldn't source one, but hey I may be surprised with what the T04z is capable of and may be happy with it, if not I can always change it again for the T51, have the best of both worlds, one at a time. I'll put some pix up tomorrow of the T04z kit. I'll ask Rob at RIPs to send me some more pix, or maybe he may post them up if he reads this.

The kit is all finished and on the way already, 2 boxes about 18kg each.

We did manifold, turbo, 50mm Pro watsegate, dump pipe, screamer pipe, turbo air intake with filter, intercooler pipe from turbo to intercooler, all water and oil lines and a heat sheild for the abs pump.

Here's some pix of some of the kit:







The heat sheild has a heat proof lining on the inside of it too.





The turbo and pipes have been polished, I'm sure Pupsi will show some pix once its all installed.

nice work as usual Rob!!

[beaumackenzie]

beautiful work, should be there beside the mona lisa,

incompetent robbie's got the midas touch!, i hardly call a 9 second pass on a certain r34's 1st run incompetent, i went and bought the magazine just to read the piece of the article that had been blanked out and i can assure anyone with doubts that there is no incompetence to be found anywhere in the aforementioned work of any project rob has done.

i am surprised that the big wigs of nissans international motorsport development sqaud havent come knocking on robbies door offering multi million dollar contracts, these engines are world beaters in there own right.

Its the quality of the work that I'me paying for, goods can be obtained anywhere, its the quality that counts, thats why I keep going back and keep giving Rob money. lol. Well worth it, for what he churns out.

[binjoau]

taken me a couple of hours to read this thread all the way through! I hope the new turbo works out for you! Sounds like you need a break that's for sure!!! Excellent work Rob, looks well nice! Maybe I'll have to get some numbers on the lotto and come pay you a visit when I'm eventually allowed an R33 GTR!!! Damn Canadian import laws!!!

[rogerdavis]

Its toady from Neighbours!!

[R.I.P.S NZ]

I like it!!! that turbo makes me look small!! haha
It also makes the 240z look small





Who is Toady by the way?? Handsome chap I hope, lol

[pupsi]
