Congratulations to Mark Pilz who ran back to back 9.9 second passes at 139mph at Heathcote Park on Boxing Day. Mark's RB30 powered VL Calais still retains cast pistons, standard conrods and cylinder head. Internal modifications are limited to a mild hydraulic cam and valve springs. Power comes from a JPC custom plain bearing turbo (standard exhaust manifold), PSR wastegate, custom JPC intercooler, cast inlet manifold and Autronic ECU.

Paul Stanek has raced his R31 Skyline for the first time at Heathcote Raceway. Paul ran a 1.28-second foot short time on his first ever pass, but backed off due to tyre shake. The second pass saw a very lazy 11.57 at 152.70mph showing plenty of promise from the VG30 powered Nissan.

Congratulations to New Zealand's Sam Baddeley and Melbourne based navigator Steven Hudson who have won New Zealand's toughest off-road event, the 2006 Kiwi Challenge. Three days of consistent torrential rain made conditions extremely tough, but their Toyota Landcruiser was able to hold out for a tight finish.

Paul's Lancer has been the centre of on going modification by JPC. This fifth generation EVO now features a later model EVO VIII 6-speed transmission and modified clutch. Engine wise the rally bred Mitsubishi is beefed up with a forged bottom end and a set of aftermarket cams. An Autronic computer is also fitted and manages 25psi boost from the GT35/40 turbo producing a strong 318kW on PULP to all four wheels.

Bill Mousa’s sensational looking R31 Skyline is back on the drag scene. Now in the eager hands of JPC's Paul Stanek, the Skyline retains a JPC modified Nissan 2.8-litre VG30 engine and is still boosted by a pair of smallish Renault F1 based turbochargers. Drive will feed rearward through a KEAS 2-speed Powerglide transmission. We are obivously aiming to turn around solid numbers, but will be utmost be looking for consistency over the summer period.

A a couple of year's absence, Vas's Commodore VL turbo will be making a return to the drag strip. Still powered by the same Nissan RB30 turbo engine, Vas will be able to use the power more efficiently thanks to a custom half chassis rear end built in house by JPC.
Keep an eye out for Vas and the JPC team at the drag strip shortly! |
