Hey guys,
After a couple of years as a dyno/street car i finally got around to putting a 4link and glide into my car a few months ago. On only it's second full power run and to be honest some pretty average driving i managed the 9.334 with a 1.41 60ft.
The car went much faster than we were expecting as it still runs a Std R34 Neo bottom end, A huge thank you to Kyle from 6boost for all your advice over the years and all the boys here at Mercury for helping with the build.
Specs on car as follows
R34 Bottom end (up opened)
R34 Head std other than a quick tidy up exhaust ports
272 9.6mm cams
12mm L19 head studs
6boost mailfold
Gt4508 in GT42 housings
60mm Turbosmart Progate
Plazmaman Plenum and t/body
Std Fuel rail / high flow r33 injectors
2jz coil packs
Motec M84
Motec CDI 8
Makes 650hp on 27psi + a 75shot of gas
Runs 50/50 pump/CSR E85 new injectors soon and i'll be on 100% E85
Prontrans Glide
9 inch
Mcdonals bros lower and upper udjustable arms
Qa1 two way adjustable coil overs
255/60R15 Et Streets
I am looking forward to the next few months pulling some more weight out of the car and getting back to the track to try and break into the 8's with a std rb bottom end.

I wouldnt push the injectors as far as i had if it wasn't my own car. Lot's of fuel pressure can make any injector big. Also this is the reason why it still runs a 50:50 pump fuel mix
This has been a development car for me to really push all of the standard nissan components, just started out as a bit of a joke, lets put this massive turbo on a std engine. Didn't ever think i would be still running the same engine almost 2 yrs later, let alone run the time it has.
Pics posted just waiting for a Mod to clear them
Here's the Youtube link for anyone that interested
