yes this is what all the biff has been about since just before the NZ champs but there’s more to it apparently Chad got the vip tour at Nissan overseas and some how obtained the blueprint to the motor apparently Hartley found out a week later and was not a happy man and that was the trigger to the whole thing Hartley was trying to stop the upload off information but I heard it was to late |

are you saying Nissan gave Chad Ace the blue prints from Harley's work? don't sound right! I would think that all get standard Nissan blocks and do there own in house design build work.

I did wonder what happened if your motor was protested & found to be legal who paid to have it reassembled, good to see that the protest fee goes to the owner

Best By Test - 20th April 2018  Lots of really cool cars run Ace Performance engines, I might try find a picture of all of them this off season for a post. |

Interesting post - not sure which other protest you are referring too? I think it’s good to see engines being tested. Great to prove your doing things right, and good to see the standard being adhered too. Wasn’t too long ago the Toyota v8s we’re having a lot of issues with many being over the 10: 1 limit and having to be sent back to the original engine builder to be fixed. So again - good to see testing being implemented |

Ain't seen many do that tho |

I can back craige up with this. The motors chad got will definitely be a weapon once develop.
I think Mr Hartley has had the run of motors for to long and good on Chad starting up. If you do the mahi for someone else then why not do it for yourself,
Jealousy is the biggest evil in our sport.

Looking at this post it seems Mr hartley is using p rees to do the dirty work. Just like they did with the csl jag superstock engine and after that saga the board changed the engine protest fee.

Interesting post - not sure which other protest you are referring too? There was a protest against Kerry Podjursky/Steve Heibner's Jaguar engine a few seasons ago. The protest was from Peter Rees, and the Jaguar engine was built at CSL, so you can draw your own conclusions. That protest also failed. |

A good outcome to the protest which confirmed that there is absolutely nothing wrong with Ace Performance engines, and further enhances Chads reputation as an engine builder.
I don't have a list but I'll get one and make a poster or something of every Ace Performance powered car that raced in the 2019/20 season, it'll be a fun project. Hope nobody gets offended or jealous.
I can't keep track but I think I spotted the Ace Performance logo on the rocker cover of Regan O'Briens 52b car and on the flying 46b car that Quin Ryan drove to win the final race and the 2020 ENZED Teams Champs title for Hawkes Bay. There's some weapons alright.

as fans you are looking at somebodys hobby and complaining. but the reality is these guys its there job. so they are complaining about there livelihoods. its important to separate the two as they do also go hand in hand. but this is what pete does for a living. i can respect that as to the road hes taking.

Hartley supplied the $ and got P. Rees to lodge protest as Hartley can't himself as is not a competitor/SNZ License holder.

On a more positive note, a protest puts to bed the rumours which are inevitably propagated whenever someone from outside "the establishment" raises the bar performance-wise. "Tall poppy syndrome" I believe it is called. |
