After 3 days of, more or less, constant driving during Gatebil @ Mantorp Park the engine was taken out of the car and left to FP Engines for a total desembly/check-up.

I´m currently in another city so I don´t know exactly how the engine looked inside, but as I understood everything was fine despite blown rocker arms etc during gatebil (was fixed at location).
The engine is not put together and already installed into the car again.

The oil temperature was quite high during some laps, not so strange depending on the temperature out on the track theese 3 days @ Gatebil, but we ordered some larger oil radiators just in case. The one on the car right now is the Greddy Type-R if I´m not remembering wrong.

The mishimoto radiator and fanshroud held the water teperature at a great level during all days, wich was very nice!

Helgen på Gatebil Mantorp var första gången som Olle & Tokan fick köra bilen på riktigt och vi var mycket nöjda med körningen och bilen, gav helt klart "blodad tand" inför framtiden.
The weekend at Gatebil was the first time when the drivers, Olle and Tokan, got to drive the car "for real", and the weekend for sure gave us a great "bosst up" for the future...well needed after all hard work!

Next planned event is Bilsport Action Meet held at Mantorp Park in Sweden 6-7:th of August, and hopefully we will have time for some training before that also as there is a PROINT-competition (drifting) held at this event (this cars first competition).

The car has "eaten" spark plugs very fast, but hopefully that problem is solved now.

We have also ordered a complete AEM ignition system that will arrive shortly, we will remove the Splitfire system that is currently on the car.

This weekend there is a PROINT-competition (swedens top drifting class) held at "Action Meet @ Mantorp Park", and it will be Olles and this car´s first real competition - wish us good luck

Race report from "Bilsport Action Meet 2010" @ Mantorp Park, Sweden

I have a longer swedish version but as your swedish language skills may not be perfect I have made a short one:

Friday:
Nissan worked really well and the driving looked really good during the practice on friday

Saturday:
The nissan gearbox broke the "intake axle" on the gearbox (dont know the correct name in english) exactly when it was time for the competition = no competition for the nissan this weekend. The other raidopower car (BMW M3 E36) placed 3rd - great!
During the evening we changed gearbox on the nissan (we had brought one extra with us) as there would be drifting training in sunday.

Sunday:
The car catched fire (fuelrail-related problem).....
Dont know how much damage the fire did yet....

Conclusion:
A really good weekend for the drifting team, but not so good for Olle (his first competition) and the Nissan.
Great weekend for the other team driver, Micke with the BMW, that placed 3rd in the competition.

A big thanks to Rockstar Energy Drink, Fuckyeah.se the magazine Bilsport and of course Mantorp Park[/b]!

The Nissan S14a has now been restored after the engine bay fire at Mantorp Park.
Modyfied intake and fuelrail, AEM ignition box and AEM coils.
Adjusted camshafts, new dyno tuning - around 100hp more and 110Nm - and the effect comes around 1000rpm earlier - nice!

We would also like to welcome our new partner Knight-Racer UK that has provided bodykits for the team drifting cars.

Sounds awesome, got any dyno graphs?

Not at my location, but they guys of course have it in the garage. You know, I´m just the "office/manager" guy

Main reason was probably that is was not 100% made first time...Cams were not adjusted at all the first time if i remember correctly. The car leaves over 500hp in the engine, dont know exactly. The thing holding the hp down is the old T67 greddy turbo. But we dont need/want more effect at the moment so right now that is not a big issue.

wow, you guys are rocking it! Youv got models ! Jesus...

Gatebil Rudskogen September 2010 - Norway

What a weekend!
We attended the "Gatebil" event in Norway/Rudskogen, held in september.
The car of course descided to give us trouble so the headgasket went on saturday. Also some arms in the front (previously welded).
After some discussions we took the engine out tryting to fix everything until sunday.
Around 22 on saturday night our tent was packed with party people and when small misstakes began to happen during the installation of the engine the guys descided it was time to take a break - take the cars out from the tent, put the music on, open a cold beer *pschyssst* - disco time!

The weekend ate Gatebil was great in allways, even though rain and that the car didn´t want to play with us

Probably this was the last event for this season, now the work is starting with the new cars for next season. Not descided yet how many cars that will be in the team 2011....

Glad you like it!

About the norway-sweden thing, well yes I can´t argue with that norway has a larger/better drifting scene than sweden has at the moment. Must be because of the oil Haha
