Wasso Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Looking good Neil, bet your enjoying the trip down south to see your girl. Next time your in the area let me know and pop in Just a quick question are those your solenoids in the engine bay? And that is a very odd insertion point for the jets?

Yep mate, Dan said the hit will be much more efficient at that point and hit will be much more direct. It was a concern with them in there but he has them running in time attack and drag cars and never had any issues with much more heat running. I trust his vision especially as he's be with prodrive and cosworth for years lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOYBOY Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Looks like it's all progressing nicely Neil. I'm looking forward to the finished article. You'll have to keep slowing down to let the rest of us catch up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 By what Wizards said to me was, the solenoids need to be in the coolest area of the engine bay, heat will reduce the effect of the gas, releasing the oxygen earlier before it reaches the cylinders. It will as far as I can gather will be a little like a reduced bottle pressure. As I say this was Wizards words quite some time ago when I went up there with my install. Fair cop though with the jet placement, good idea. Yeah Dan was telling me his working history, rather impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Looking good Neil How light are those seats? The look OEM style as oposed to true buckets. Never been a fan of the bottle but the hidden instal of Wasso's bottle in the passenger side rear storage compartment makes for a good sleeper. Otherwise everything is is moving ahead full steam. Can't wait till you reveal the other mods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Lol cheers Bennett. As you can see my cars not very sleeper-ish, so no point in hiding the bottle lol. I honestly cannot wait to get her back. The seats are very light in comparison to oem leather. The car will be weighed when she's finished to see how the weight distribution is and losses have been so I will report back on the total loss of weight. What I was surprised with is people were saying oem are very heavy, they are a bit but nowhere near as much as I thought they'd be, probs around 20kg-25kg each at most. Ian, I hear you mate ! It was something I raised the issue with about the heat at the start but was informed otherwise by the guys so I'm putting my trust in them, If it doesn't work then it's no biggie to relocate.

Wasso Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'd hazard a guess that if the engine was warm/hot and the solenoids themselves are warm you just won't get the most effective shot, I wouldn't say it's not going to work, it will just lack a hard shot. I guess Dan will spot that on the dyno and adjust if needed. So how much longer will your car be on holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 You are truly insane - I demand when you pick this up, that you first stop by mine before going home. Are you getting the nismo decals put back up onto the carbon hatch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yep Craig, carbon boots getting painted the same as the car is now. Cars coming home on a trailer lol, I will bring it down lol.

Neilp Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Anders just you wheesht Cheers wasso, the car will be used only for track and an occasional run on the roads once I get we back. Alot of the comforts of the car are remove now and I imagine it will be noisey as hell. What did you remove out of interest to lose your 60 odd kg?

Wasso Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Boot Spare wheel Tools Toneua cover Boot plastics Passenger cubby plastics Oem strut for aftermarket Cats - replaced with de-cats Y-pipe - lighter using motordyne Oem wheel nuts for duraluminum, saved 1kg alone with wheel nuts Braided brake hoses - the oem lines and bracket lost me over 1kg This was using a list of weights on my350z, some chap weighed pretty much every removable part including the steering wheel etc. I reckon with what you strip and replace ie roll cage etc you should be looking at well over 100kg for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dropping all the glass out the car except the windscreen to remove more weight. The cage is remarkably light so i'm hoping to break the 100kg mark. I have also changed all the suspension etc to kw v3's and stuff so hopefully that will save some weight also. All the hoses etc have been changed to braided away back at the start also. I've probably changed most of the stuff you listed also I'll let you know how she weighs in once complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
