I don't know, but I would think not. My accountant calls it "special advertising" on my tax returns, or something like that.

There is a good spread of speeds available for the circuits we visit. Philip Island is without a doubt the quickest apart from Bathurst, with Sandown and Sydney MotorSport park the next quickest and Winton and Mallala are the slower tracks.

I probably won't bother with 675 tall tyre and use the 655 diameter tyre as the standard (280 on the front and 310 on the rear, both on 10.5" wheels), and use 3.9 FD ratio at Philip Island and Bathurst, and the 4.08 elsewhere. Using a smaller diameter tyre helps lower CoG without having to raise suspension pivot points.

13.4:1 compression ratio, how high r u aiming for your engine speed? 9k?

BGTV8 · 06-12-2015, 05:12 PM

We will run this engine on E85 as even FIA 107-octane (RON measure) Race Fuel at $7/litre is not OK on this spec.

I will set the ECU to limit engine speed at 8500rpm, with a steering wheel button to give me another 300rpm "on demand".

Rusty · 06-12-2015, 07:22 PM

You got plenty of speed without having to worry about running out of gear on long straights.

BGTV8 · 06-29-2015, 06:39 PM

Update #1 added, reflects results of dry-sump research

nomodsjk · 06-30-2015, 02:05 AM

Jesus man this is serious car porn

Elmo370z · 06-30-2015, 02:59 AM

Yeah, rich man's porn

BGTV8 · 06-30-2015, 05:05 AM

Why do you think it has taken me 4 years to put aside the readdies to fund this build ....

Been planning for a long, ling time, and now is the time to start the spend.

An apt old adage is that all good things come to those who wait ....

Elmo370z · 06-30-2015, 09:56 AM

Hell yea. Im in the same boat with my build. Probably take me just as long, but nothing as badass as your build. Cheers my friend.

TerribleONE · 06-30-2015, 10:00 AM

Subd!!!

BGTV8 · 07-29-2015, 04:07 PM

Update #2 added to post #2 .... Dry-Sump ordered, Jenvey ITB inlet manifold ordered (DBW option included), still in discussion with Haltech about Elite ECU being set up for VQ37VHR so I can then back-port to VQ40HRGA when built. I'll go back and edit the original post to make it line up wit the updates eventually. Lots on at present (work, personal and motorsport lives).

BGTV8 · 08-13-2015, 01:52 AM

August 13th update - Z34 off to Haltech for forensic VQ37VHR CANbus sniffing.

PWR now offer a race spec radiator for Z34 that is straight-in fit for OEM radiator, race version does not have air-con condensor, based of the sample we sent them for my car. See PWR Performance Products | Aluminium Radiators, Intercoolers, Oil Coolers for catalogue details (should be up today/tomorrow).

Rid3_FaM0uS · 08-17-2015, 08:57 AM

Is Haltech unaware that they already have a platinum 2500 running a VHR??

BGTV8 · 08-17-2015, 03:46 PM

This will be a full replacement ECU to run the entire car, NOT just a piggy-back over the OEM ECU.
