LSX-438

Incorrect. Check again Roy: http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results..../2010.EAST.S2.Y

Last i checked GTR and Evo's were running faster than Jacky Yick in clubsprint.

clearance looks good, better than te37 or rota

Couple of laps from yesterday, data shows i picked up about 10km/hr on the straight

thanks for that

Can someone tell me what the format of the event is, do we merely have to lay a time down at any designated session over the two days? i've asked a few people / competitors but nobody seems to know. thx

Driftbox. It's usually quite accurate, compared to the dorian system around a circuit anyway.

I dunno about the JDM vs ADM 12psi vs 15psi thing. Anyway here is a recent 0~100km/hr run in my ADM (four wheels spinning mind you) mods are catback + e85 tune

I havent measured it with any accuracy but i would say you use 25% more or thereabouts. I am not sure you can believe the consumption numbers on the display now either (Martin?) So anyway the fuel cost is roughly the same as 98 when you factor in extra consumption. I am running it full time for now, servo isnt too far away.

Mark We have it on pump (about 15min drive from my place) and it's $0.99c/litre. I have a few jerry cans which i will fill up. A full tank and some jerrys should last 2~3 weeks when not racing for me. I believe the stuff we get is from CSR. There are a few other pumps in NSW (wollongong i believe, and somewhere else) but too far away from me. We should see E85 pumps pop up all over the place in the next 6 to 12 months, with holden selling their e85 cars.

With everyone turning up the wick recently in the NSW Sprint Championships, and with Martin at Willall Racing having success himself with E85 in his GTR, it was a logical choice for more performance. My local mechanics (Russo Performance) installed higher capacity fuel pumps (GSS342's) and a set of 950cc Deatschwerks injectors. Everything was plug and play, including the tune that Martin emailed me just a couple of days ago. All ftted and tuned, off to Mainline for a dyno run or three to check it all came together well; see dyno sheet below. So VERY happy to pick up 45awkw as promised. Driven in anger it turns all four wheels on the street it's insane!! To me the best thing is the driveability - it's 100% unaffected when you are just cruising around, it's impossible to tell. That is a massive plus. TRACK RESULTS: straight out of the box yesterday we smashed the old record on the 3rd lap of the first session (1:40.1). The car setup and trim was exactly the same as last time (actually we had NEW slicks last time, i think there will be more time with new slicks). So i am chuffed to pick up a second around eastern creek, and break the lap record too. Thanks to Martin for the E85 tune, you know your stuff. And thanks to Russo Performance for fitting the hardware. Bring on superlap! I will get some video up of the run when i get time.

Some of you may have seen the big R35 HP projects coming out of the States recently, given the AM wing is rated to a mere 200mph (!) they have upgraded their wings to 250mph Some pics of their load emulation/testing.. Also i think they are about to release a mounting option such that you can essentially use the stocker mounting points, so you can then revert to the stocker wing later - with no visible holes

Interesting, thanks Mark. are these the rear wheels on the front? Or front wheels. If rear wheels, then putting 285 on fronts may look quite different in terms of offset/how far they stick out. For some cams events they dont like wheels protruding from front guards fwiw.

Nice work Mark, i just know your going to go faster and faster yet with the mods planned. Btw, do you just take the video off the camera system or do you need to "rip" it.

It gets better, cheater cars drive themselves too

1:44's is pretty close to the mark for clubsprint (perhaps +/- a second or so) i would say

I ended up getting a carbon one, but i need to run a maetal one at superlap Anyone know where i can get a metal R35 bootlid (other than new?) condition nor colour is important, as long as it fits. Need it in a hurry

Still for sale!

these look good thanks for posting. can i buy them anywhere around sydney?

WOW what a fantastic set of photos, simply great! Lots of keepers there. Sensational.

I was just told something very interesting relating to annodised alloy parts. I was explaining the problem (stripping a lot of these wheel nuts) and his first question was "what colour are they"........ They have all been red, and he went on to say that annodising them RED has a weakening affect on them. Something to do with the process of annodising them RED whereas other colours didnt have the same problem! (to the same degree) he had some hardness numbers to back up what he was saying. So that's interesting, anyone ever heard this?

Did you sort out this VDC issue (traction control with VDC off) because if yuo are saying you have issues with VDC off and 50% throttle, something is very wrong, i have never heard of this before. Would like to know the cause/outcome. Almost sounds like mismatched tyre diameter. edit: this didnt arise on the dyno?

Actually i buy most of those 2nd hand and they are keepers! At $710ea for the Michelin slicks (new) it would be far too taxing on the budget. So all of these are keepers. Once i am finished with them they are well trashed. A tyre rack sounds like a good idea!

my name is Duncan and i have a problem...

Good example. Motorsport is literally filled with examples along similar lines, most of which we never get to hear about. It happens all the time i am sure. Heard a good example regarding radiators (generating downforce believe it or not!) the other day but that's all i should say
