lots of cars going in the wrong direction including our car but no damage done :laugh:

the throttle got stuck open on the GT40s car causing Paul to go careering into the kitty litter at the end of the straight at 180 clicks! Paul and car are ok though. but his throttle problems continued which meant he could only manage a best time of 60 something.

our car managed a 58.06 on a warm QR day, 1st in class and 4th overall out of 110 or so cars. also due to the GTs problems that gives our car a points boost and we are now tied for the lead in the series this year with 2 rounds to go.

will probably get some slicks organised for the fronts before the next one to try and pick up some more time.

full results are on the queensland raceway web site www.queenslandraceway.com.au

Unfortunately i missed out saturday arvo due to blown turbo from the practice that morning. But my first time on the sprint track at topgear on sunday and my best time was a 56.4 which isnt too bad. Need more experience on that track, its tricky with our car.

yeh eugene your bug is annoying!

Well im about 2 seconds off the pace if i wanna win the next championship round in two weekends time. I reckon i have a second in me by getting my lines right and pushing it harder, but another second....that will be hard to achieve.

Giants car is quick and well respected, but there are quicker cars out there just not as popular or well known.

and only the rear wheels driving the car.

Mark and russell would do even faster times if they were on full slicks. But the point is with only two wheel drive its hard to compete with a very well setup gtr whilst on semis. I know, already tried it.

Lately weve been running around on hoosier semi's and those times were done on r6's.

It would seem that if you had two evenly powered and evenly weighted cars the 4 wheel drive one would be quicker everytime. The difference is that of running full slicks to semi's between the two, or so it has seemed over the last year or two.

what's with the attitude? I just pointed out that the "quicker cars" in your comparison were on full racing slicks against Giant on semis. There's nothing to argue about.

But Giant has a Skyline, that alone should negate any slick tyre in existance according to some lol. Anyway, many people say that the current semi slick tyres are just as good as a full slick anyway. I wonder how much slower a V8 Supercar would be on dunlop semi's rather then the full slicks they use... And a Semi slick doesnt mean its halfway between a road tyre and a race tyre anyway. Just means its a race tyre with DOT approval and some grooves really.

Anyway, pink car #90 might be getting joined by pink car #900 soon :D

      Feedback on Carbonetics: R34 GTT cooling panel

      By IM-32-FK · Posted

      @DraftySquash @Duncan he's not talking about the part that sits against the radiator support, he’s talking about the lip that sits towards the front outside of the car. anyway I had a look at other cooling panels and came across this one https://justjap.com/products/carbing-radiator-cooling-panel-plate-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-t?variant=37829684134087&currency=AUD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Advanced feed&utm_content=Carbing Radiator Cooling Panel Plate fits Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T (Coupe)&srsltid=AfmBOoonzPDKqe9NgKi5U0AkFc2XvbXETGmNWvfNcyBT5DUZagMYHg9DZ70 if you take notice it’s the same shape.  well thankfully the justjap listing has a description and it says : - Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T Coupe (M/T -07/2000) this means it’s specifically for a s2. S2’s have different front bars to s1 so that lip with the 3 holes are *probably* mounting points for the s2 bar. im not 100% sure but im almost certain it will still fit a s1 bar

      Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
