Boostcruising Car Pics Thread  

Once there was a dirty nissan, it was out for a drive one night when it met a pole, and they became very close.
The end.




Also this happened.

whats with the rear suspension delazy? helper springs?

that dude with laptop is playing solitare

is that bonnet purposely not aligned properly?

Hmmm, interesting one. I would say that thermodynamically the heat would escape through the gap. The heat lost is equal to the heat energy, time, airflow, transient properties and space to flow through. You would probably find that any heat lost would be similar to Evo's running a standard lancer bonnet. The easiest way to test this would be to install several digital thermometers and hook them up to a laptop so we can compare the average under-bonnet temperature over time. Repeat without spacers and for the sake of there being a control group of some kind, without a bonnet at all.

I'll supply the hardware if someone supplies the car.

My bonnet had spacers when I got it but took them off might have to put them back & see if I notice a difference

it doesnt work. it will suck air in, thats why a torana etc has a reverse scoop, it will bounce off the windscreen. it has been wind tunnel tested, you should be able to find videos on youtube or similar

DMAX tech drawing for the carbon bonnets they design/sell..origin also use the same concept in the bonnets they design and sell..both quite large companies..voltex who design alot of the aero for the serious time attack cars in japan, including the cyber evo run another similar design...not by lifting the bonnet, but a higher moulding at the rear most of the bonnet to allow air to escape...voltex do test all the aero in wind tunnels however...


ignoring the z tune type vent and also the very rear most vent...but the one on the very back panel of the bonnet...would be doing exactly the same as raising a bonnet would it not??

air sucked in from the forward moving motion of the car is then expelled via the rear of the engine bay taking the "heat" with it??

im no thermal/aerodynamic mastermind...but i am curious about it...

i dnt understand the wind bouncing back off the windscreen part...would it not continue to flow along the contours of the car due to being forced in that direction with forward movement??

i will add that wind tunnels are certianly an interesting thing...cyber evo in windtunnel...part 1 of 2

i believe its to do with the airflow over the bonnet creating a low pocket of pressure at the bottom of the windscreen, which in turn i believe would create a circulation of air at that bottom point of window where it meats the bonnet and not allowing air to escape properly? kind of like the forward most point of a ute tray being less turbulant i think, havent done aero stuff since college lol

Lazy think you will find the aero testing that cyber does has very little bearing on heat more so on downforce and resistance.....time attack for a lap or so has very minor issues with overheating.

The aero on the cyber evo and the siera siera cars does not at all reflect on an issue with engine temps rather than dynamics- using diffusers and canards of the extreme which obviously have had a lot of $$$ in development_ windtunnel testing included to obtain the best result.

Sorry lazy ...the washers are a myth and to use aero testing which is primarily aimed at downforce and resistance to strengthen your point....is very much incorrect!!

certainly didnt mean for it to read in the way that it did scott...

as i understand the concept of windtunnel testing is certainly alot more to do with downforce/aerodynamics etc...

the comment about voltex was more so in relation to a large proven non rice company having similar designs built into a bonnet...more so than the i guess typical rice part brands in dmax/origin...

the video being posted was simply due to the comment being made about wind tunnel testing and i actually found it interesting watching it...i was quite suprised at the extra downforce generated by the aero on said car...30kg worth of downward pressure for quite "simple" aero in comparison to say an F1 car is pretty nuts...

either way im happy to admit it is well beyond my understanding...give me a simple bolt on kit purely for looks/style anyday...should be interesting to see how mark goes with his efforts on his ae86 to get more grip from means of aero/diffusers however...

im happy to pass it off as a myth...however i think drivers of cars noticing higher than normal temperatures at an event after being asked to remove the spacers is enough for me...certainly wasnt relating to hotter weather either as if anyone remebers ozdrift gp it was rained out both days...nor was the running of the event any smoother/quicker than normal tassie events...it was quite the opposite...breaks, longer waits between runs etc...

Maybe the best thing is find what works for your car specifically, If it runs cooler whith spacers use them if it doesnt dont use them. It would certainly be interesting to see engine temperature averages over X amount of laps with and without spacers, aslong as the ambient temperature stays constant and also take an average laptime. Interesting!!!

I do apologise ...AGAIN LOL....as once again may have possibly been sidetracked from the discussion? As far as temps go I have no ferkin clue!!..but I do know that cyber and sieera teams don't really have issue with temp problems and the don't resort to putting washers in the rear of their bonnet hinges

i always thought it was only useful if you had a vent/air dam/whatever you call it underneath the car, i allways thought the lj xu1's had that chrome thing under them for the same reason except they used shark gills to vent it out? , could be wrong

^^^^ me too, always thought you had to introduce in order to remove? !!!

With ronnie the bonnet spacers did keep under bonnet temps down i could tell by the coilpacks not breaking down like they normally did,

Also if air is rushing in the front surely giving it a path of minimal resistance to escape would be a good thing ?

i think some one is going to have to email the mythbusters for this one

On iPhone ATM will post vid when I get home that shows with bonnet spaced it sucks in air, which I guess is a good thing but it doesn't release hot air as some believe
