much damage to the wrx then?

All lights and panels in front of the A pillar gone, radiator gone and apparently she smashed the gear box changing down for the corner, also the flatspotted all of the tyres and cracked her front brake rotors...so in other words it is rooted

looks as though the wrx didnt know the right road to pull in for pit stops

lol

That isnt even pit lane! That is part if the hill climb course! The pits are actually a bit further down the road just after the corner we are braking for

shane has to miuch time yes.

Ouch, is that WRX hittin the tyres :S

It sure is! Quite hard too!

Andy, what track is that?

Wakefield

Theree is a video on Youtube.com of a WRX driving around a race track with some instructor telling him how to get around teh track in good time etc etc.

he goes around once, and he goes for another lap, coming in real hot he takes the corner, spins, outs, the guy tells him to swing it around and he goes right of the track and HARD into a tyre wall, pushing the bonnet right up in the air..

then all you hear is the instructor says, oh man, im really sorry lol.

ill see if i can find it.

All the cars that were slow and spun out heaps were WRXs, I was shocked at how crap they were, I expected them to be good! Dont they have ABS?? There seemed to be a lot of locking up going on

Hey Andy did you get any lap times?

Yessir

1:18.021

my last session was all between 1:18.021 and 1:18.2....so I was just to the point where the times would tumble and the day was over

If all those farking WRXs were not in the way every second lap it might have been ok!

That said I was still the second fastest GTST on the day, not bad for a first time at a track

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
