[alex.a]

was speaking to JW today at work and said your new setup is very impressive. its good to see an 8sec pass is well within grasp jambo is goin to be interesting thats for sure

i always though people had dog box's for clutchless shifting ? so no clutch air gap keeping you out of fourth

maybe also need some better quality hose clamps maybe wiggins clamps

Mark was constantly smashing the box when clutchless shifting...plenty of $$ overhauling it all the time replacing dog rings etc. So to keep the box in the car he has instructed me to clutch it...so i do...he's the crew chief and has plenty more experience with this stuff than i. He said maybe try 3rd>4th without the clutch but ill need to be more brutal with the stick not clutching it.

Hose clamps were the ones that came in the HKS kit...turfed them today and replaced them with the same ones Mark uses.

top work paul good to see some results, good luck in the jambo.

So long term are you planning to run the ppg box or go auto or switch over to a liberty 5 speed as well?

JW...top fella...did he tell you that i snore harder than i drive...lol. Aparently i was still dozing hard this morning when he and k went to work.

Brad, ill see how this box goes. A Liberty is out of the question...an auto ?...maybe. I just want to race it for a while and enjoy it.

9.5 is hooking

on the gravel out the back of the pits it did.

should have not tried 4th...if id left it in 3rd it may have gone quicker. Maybe the car has forgotten it has more than 3 gears...lol

Paul, curiosity has got the better of me, would I be on the right track if I said your Strange carbon brakes came 2nd hand via Adelaide? If so they were in my hands not more than a few days ago - as was the new set-up that replaced the Strange gear.

If I'm completely off track then feel free to forget I mentioned anything at all.

you couldn't be anymore on track.

[PJ.]

If there's one gear you should try clutchless shifting with, it's 4th. 3rd to 4th is the easiest and fastest anyway. It will go in like butter mate, don't be shy.

See you @ the Jambo

nice pic that Dave took with the front wheels off the deck on launch.

Cool pic, but being 4wd would that suggest your suspension needs a lot of work? But then again your 60ft times are still good so perhaps you only need the 4wd after the 60ft to get the power down as the full high rom power hits????

Again cool pic, really need to get rid of that stripe though

We haven't even looked at suspension settings yet and i agree with your mode of thinking...a 4wd car 60's better when it sits a bit flatter. We picked up almost 2/10ths in the 60 with the low mounts getting the car to sit flat and just bob its ass a bit on launch. The coilovers have only been raised in ride height and still have the settings that we used at Superlap when we had them fitted to the circuit car.

The stripe is an advert. for Bodyform who did a bit of work on the car, Pete's a top guy and im happy to support his business and products. Although its a bit ricey its no worse than this one.. http://www.cnjmotorsport.com.au/images/gtr1.JPG

It also makes the car easily identifiable at the track as it stands out from all the other silver 32's

I think i may even wash it before Jambo...check out the thick coat of dust on it, especially the bonnet and roof.

i like hi vis work shirts

also do you have any data logging you can share with us ? it would be intresting to see !

[R.I.P.S NZ]

Man you guys have well prepped tracks, very jealous indeed, well done on the pic mate, looks great, what 60s did you manage?

Edit, just saw you'd done 1.37, not to shabby at all :-)

Thanks Rob. Did a 1.38 the run before and blew the turbo outlet pipe off changing from 1st to 2nd...still ran 9.8

Mate it went 6.0 @ 114 to 1/2 track. What do you think it is capable of at that boost/power level?

[bigmikespec]

Sounds really promising, great to hear!

Not taking the piss here (as you well know Paul) but are you using the launch control and anti-lag to full effect with the V88?

yeah we certainly are...the Vi-PEC anti-lag is killer.

Walk..you should have came over for a chat instead of being a 'hi-vis' face in the crowd. Mark has set the logger to automatically log from 3000rpm so we have some data there to look at.

[Walk510]

maybe you need to up grade to motec data logging like an ACL as they have 1 gig memory as we did have a chat when you were loading the car !
