Big thanks to Ryan, Gareth and Jarrod for helping me diagnose the problem, makes life easy when you got blokes like you around!!!

New PB for me after new engine 1.49.18 - sorry Ferni - I think that is the extra 20kw I have on you.

20? and the rest ;) I would say i'll beat you next time, but i don't think i'll be able to catch you now... I'll just have to settle that i beat you into the 49's first even if only by a few hours :)

1.49.82 backed up with a 1.49.88 the following lap.

Respect to everyone who is going faster than that, dropping from 1.50's to 1.49's felt like i was going about 20% faster, but yet i was only really going about half a percent faster. No idea how you guys do 46's and 47's....

LOL - If it's any concillation - I don't know how you do a 1:49! :)

I ran a best of 1:54.70 on the last session, however I was hampered by a slow Celica through turn 1 and turn 2... I'm guessing it would have been a low 53 otherwise.

Can't wait to get out in December and give it another crack! ;)

I'll show you mine if you show me yours - I'm at 350kw, apparently you are at 330kw ;):)

I'll post a pic of tyres as well when I get home - there're knackered.

I wish I knew what my Sat times were - we will never know who was first :(

Now i know why so many people rate PI. It's an awesome track.

LOL - If it's any concillation - I don't know how you do a 1:49!

ditto. I don't know if i went any quicker, but the only time i got was from one session where I had the lap timer in the car and it showed 1:56.8. That lap felt quick but i know I'm not going hard enough through hayshed and into lukey heights so there's a little more there but sheeesh another 6 seconds?!!

I think i need another turbo ;)

HAD AN AWESOME WEEKEND! Panned out just the way i hoped: Sit back, suk piss and catch up with the crew.

Thanks to Mav, for providing the accommodation and to everyone else for their company.

Well Jack hopefully Ben sorts out the issue. Thanks for helping me with my suspension quires, i have already ordered and payed for the CUSCO components required :banana:.

Hopefully i'll be out there soon! Went past EAS and was surprised to find that most the engine bay had been re-assembled :thanks:

Head and clutch are back from the machinist, just waiting on the sump and manifold.

Made it back home last night. Washed some of the grass and dirt of the Slot Car. I got sucked in turning early on last corner onto the straight and sort of run out of black stuff and rear stepped out on me at high revs in fourth, so must have gone off at over 200ks and managed to keep her off the wall which was looking nasty at one point. Yes grass went flying over the car, so yes I really did cut their grass. Blocked the intakes a bit and water temps went to 123c. The in car vid should be good TOM????? Had a great weekend, you guys in Vic and Team Wang sure have it going on done there. Hope to turn it on a bit for you guys when you come up to the Sydney tracks and lets rev up the Sydney guys to lose their hand bag and have a go.

Some testing times for Jack but you made a day of it anyway and sure to be out there bigger and better. Well done to ferni and others who improved. Top bunch of blokes and also Bec, well done being the social director. Yes and Sam's time is awesome and he got my attention, I tracked him down and gave him a call and went and spent the afternoon in his shed out in middle of nowhere on the way home, and I learnt a lot from him. He has an immaculate prepared car and he confirmed some geometry suspension pivot point changes I was looking to do with Akerman and control arms angles or geometry etc.

I have to get the Slot Car sorted and ready for Circuit Battle this Thursday at Wakey.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
