Cheers man thanks, you were doing great too, as was 'ZILLA', we had a good run hehe, in fact i think all of the DTs were doing fairly well!

Your busted turbo is a blessing in disguise....just means you can bolt something bigger on now!

Yeah I agree the last few DT sessions were a lot of fun getting out there and having a good run with each other whilst not doing anything stupid (except for me over doing it on the second last corner in one of the later sessions :) )

Im in it because i like cars and like driving. Its my hobby and has been for years. WIll be that way until the day i die or CAMS revoke my licence :)

But to let you know how im wired and why i dont see my car as having that dire a problem. There is something very satisfying about knowing the car isnt perfect and you are still able coax it along. Its not so much about the times as the driving. A bit like the Autocross i did. Probably the most satisfying thing i have done in a car was get a good run because i finally got my head around how to get the car to do what it was trying not to do....but of course this approach does not always go to plan. >_<

Dude, you're pulling times only a second or so of some fast GTR's, in a little rwd, 2 litre, gtst...... once you spend more money and sort out the suspension it wouldn't suprise me at all for you to be up there beating some of the fast GTRs....

Its not really about beating anyone. Sure its good for beer talk, and dribbling shit. :) But, i read about stuff, try to absorb it. I challenge things i may not readily agree with and want to learn something every time im out there. Thats not always possible, thats why im always so attentive to what others are doing to there cars. Not because i care if can beat them or not, or i am being a sticky beak, but because i find it interesting looking at what areas/mods yield good results for ppl. I have long been curious, and continue to be curious about the merits of relative drivetrains/layouts. Again i find myself talkign far too much shit, LOL... "I just want to find someone that understands me" :laughing-smiley-014:

Anyway...thats how i approach it and the elements i enjoy. We all do it for different reasons/challenges. :)

You are looking at the wrong page. Look here, they seem the same to me...

And after watching a number of laps and in particular the woopsie a dozen times. The car seems to have locked the rears over the change of surface and bumps. ...so.

woo, i was only 8th slowest :)

does anyone know if the guy taken the photos from the corners has a website? i forgot and left before i checked if he had any ready. wouldn't mind seeing if he got any keepers

woo, i was only 8th slowest :thumbsup:

I got a card off him, it says the website is www.dcb-photo.com and the email address [email protected] and mobile 0416 026 252

Send a PM to Chrisman on these forums. It's his dad that takes the pics.

Nice work Jack. Interesting that you are in 3rd gear in a couple of spots that I normally use 2nd.

The only thing I do different is drop to 2nd before the 2nd last corner instead of before the last corner. Otherwise I know I'm the same as Jack gearwise (when using say Scotsman R33 GTR).

Well, those rims and tyres are going, they aren't suited to the track whatsoever. Might be a while before I hit the track again, because I'm thinking about doing an engine rebuild before bolting on a new turbo...gotta work out some finances :)

Cheers for showing me the lines though, I loved that back section after the straight :P

Think hard about it before you do it Shane! I did the same due to a manifold issue... I haven't driven my car for over 7 months :P

Budge is too shy to post this but it needs to be done. Here's a good example of when brain fade attacks.

I'm Special

See, this is why people laugh when you keep blowing up your car :)

Pulling up the Commodore loosks like pretty hard work

It can be when you overcook it, no ABS, no power steering, 225 wide tyres and commodore brakes offered little to aid my predicament :P

And as for Budge's efforts, that's called karma for making me spin at calder

Archie, next time I will T-Bone you :P

Here if you missed it --->2.8mb - Save As

or do what I did, buy another engine and build it up while driving around on your current engine :P

Yes me too, although I'm in 2nd into turn 2 and through turn 3. I don't have enough bump travel to carry third through turn 3, I'd be into the fence after pogo-ing off the ripple strips. There is probably a second by just doing that.

I wish Ben's Japanese contact could find these magical TEIN's that are the goods for R32's. The Whiteline/Bilstein bits are just not cut out for curb hopping.

Cheers

If you want a set of the Teins RS for an R32 GTR then let me know. I know of a set, only there is perhaps a little risk associated with delivery. I purchased them then failed to go through with payment as the user has several names and a friend suggested i not proceed with the purchase.

But at least you have a clubby to drive around :woot: All I have is an Express Van :cool:

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
