This 28L Airbox Setup Is GENIUS - Nismo's GT300 Z33

[@jackassrower]

580hp out of an unrestricted NA vq35de running at 10.5k rpm .....Jesus, that's just glorious

[@hpa101]

Dale does stress that it shortens the maintenance intervals drastically, but definitely impressive! - Taz.

[@bryce16710]

Check out the Z that's been shown on speed academy, even though it's a hybrid configuration, it makes a total 600hp NA

[@jackassrower]

@@bryce16710 if memory serves Sasha's car is a 4.2L motor with either HR or VHR heads. That's what makes this Nismo motor that impressive, it's only a 3.5L with DE heads, just bonkers.

[@bryce16710]

@@jackassrower You might be right about that but I still think it's absolutely amazing that he produced it. I still give high respect for what they get out of the stock engines for the GT300 and 500 classes.

[@jackassrower]

@@bryce16710 completely agree, Sasha's car is such a cool and unique beast. Very glad he built it. The motorsport world is just a bit more interesting thanks to people like him.

[@farnarkleboy]

Dale sounds like he has great respect for the capacity and limitations of the vehicle.Its lovely to hear such a measured and considered approach.

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

300 hp out of an engine wheezing through 2 restrictors barely larger than the carbs on my 175cc Honda. That’s impressive.

[@hpa101]

Andre has a really good way of teasing / gently roasting people about certain details that he feels like could be imporoved haha 😆

What a legend. That would be awesome to purchase a JGTC car.

[@altruismfirst6489]

This body kit should be for sale for 350z are still affordable and look like that Blimmie what a beauty. Love to hear a few squirts in action before of after these vids for a little bit of a climax with all the information it builds you up like a hot date then forced to go home with to reach for an ice box.

[@Kiret123]

mint, great tech dive, sick car, props to owner for keeping it motoring!

[@dazzratpac8557]

Awesome interview mate 🤟 Beautifully made 350z 👍

[@lockjawjak]

Thats a lot more power than I thought would be possible out of those restrictors, they look about the same size as the twin carbs on my old mini!

[@ericrobinson9340]

This is super cool. I love hearing about what the works teams are/were up to in all the classes of Motorsport.

[@dnltbrca]

be interesting to know how the alpha-N map compensates for plenum filling

[@raceworx]

Brilliant video.. more in car footage needed please!

I'm a Subaru guy but I love the G37

Fantastic. Dale really knows his stuff.

Is that Marty's RX7 in the back? I think that's Marty's RX7 from MCM behind them... Cool!

"The programming software was Deskpro, people know that obviously" *Ahem* yeah of course I knew all that.

I have that actual plenum! It’s beautiful!

We need to see more of this onboard run

[@mattteee2973]

As cool as it was to hear the details on the car and keeping it going I couldn't help but keep wondering why it has the new Nissan logo on it?

[@AbrahamArthemius]

A little fun fact, current GT300 cars are actually producing around 400-500hp, while GT500 makes around 600-650hp. GT500 can pretty much go toe to toe with an LMP2 car (maybe even faster)

[@hpa101]

They are scaling them back soon though correct? Heard some commentary on it during the last race I watched but I didn't listen too closely - Taz.

[@AbrahamArthemius]

@@hpa101 I haven't heard any news about the decision to scale back power right now. Although the biggest one I know would be around improving the cars' safety after the horrific crashes on Fuji.

[@CarGuy87]

Legend!

This car should be in a museum LoL

Nah, better out being driven I reckon! - Taz.

[@divecolosio4988]

Aren't Nissan debuted the Fairlady Z in both GT500 and GT300 before the series change name to Super GT?

[@scoob66]

So after being wot and the plenum collection effect "wears off" is the restriction that great that the engine starts seeing less than atmospheric pressure?

[@m0rb1d43]

It's breathing through 6 ~50mm throttle bodies and it has 2 ~27mm restrictors, so yes

[@scoob66]

@@m0rb1d43 most of that's definitely placed on behalf of the 27mm restrictions though I'd assume. 50mm throttle bodies aren't horribly small and they're in the "force fed" plenum so the plenum could be at atmospheric pressure with motion if it weren't for the other restrictions up front

[@m0rb1d43]

@@scoob66 That's exactly my point. The ram-air effect is so minor, that's not going to compensate for the amount of air the engine will be pulling. If the restrictors would be removed it would be completely different.

[@dalemalone3851]

@@m0rb1d43 approx 20% extra volume feeding in at 160k+.

[@daveh7479]

Is that the mighty car mods rx7 in the back? Or just lookalike?

[@hpa101]

This event is in Sydney, so chances are it is one and the same - Taz.

🚀👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@rimka11]

28l? An engine would make a vacuum out of this in like 10-20 revolutions. I don't think the boos from this airbox lasts for more than 1 sec.

[@hpa101]

As discussed it is a small gain which in a 'spec' series can be the difference between winning and loosing. No one should be running out to replace their turbochargers with a 28L airbox etc.....😉 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4fXqahvbLCoaaM - Taz.

[@dalemalone3851]

As road speed increases, pressure into the plenum builds from the intake in the front bar. This changes resonance and filling throughout the RPM range. Data showed around 20% increase in volume available to the engine under WOT, at speed compared to static, even with the restrictors.
