Lol turn 1 and the last turn at PI definitely is a highlight :D ...but I'd have to rate the corner going over Lukie heights as a bit of a fav.....left hander over a crest. As you go over the crest you feel the whole car unweight and it just drifts over to the right....you have to steer back onto the left hand side of the road and break hard for the 2nd gear tight right hander.

over the crest on the long wang! haha (Vic guys will know what I'm on about)... so much fun

seriously tho, turn 1 at PI scared me, but but turn 2 is far more technical and harder to perfect... turn 1 is more like dab the brakes, grow some balls, tip it in and hold on... turn 2 and a couple of the others I'm not sure where to apex so I find much harder to go fast through

long wang is always fun, I like the short wang though when you come out of the left hander, get on the gas, get a bit taily and up that "jump/hump" part!! awesome!!

The texi at sutton road with the big dipper and going over the little jump and having your stomach go from normal to up in your throat is awesome!! lol

flip flop at OP is pretty good. you know you have done the last 2 corners well if you are going fast enough that you want to lift off. plus there is so much road there now. track/ripple strip/concrete/more concrete/dirt. the only part you really dont want tyres on is the ripple strip. other than that just pick a line, hold the throttle flat and enjoy. it hammers the underside and suspension a bit though. :D

love coming off the bridge too. lots of track there to use also, but it's very dirty if you get too wide too early. apart from that it's a great corner.

4 and 5 at eastern creek is pretty good. you come down into 4 off the hill and it's one of those corners that can actually be taken pretty rapidly. then you need to be instantly back on the right side to turn in for 5.

turn 1 at eastern creek is good for the odd brown moment too but so many people I know have stuck it into the wall there with nasty results that kind of takes the fun out a bit. wish they would move that inside wall as it's very close to the track and claims many a fine car.

at wakefield I quite like the turn coming onto the back straight. can be tricky to time just right and is pretty important for a run down the back straight towards the last turn onto the front straight.

Hayshed at PI scares me since I can't do it flat anymore. But getting through that and coming over the top of Lukies is super.

3-5 at Wakefield is heaps of fun - so is the esses into sweeper at Barbagallo.

And coming over the hill at DECA is crazy in my car - especially if there is no chicane there!

And finally - the time we got to do the Thunderdome @ Calder as part of the GP Circuit was completely crazy.

I can't make up my mid;

Kink before the chase on Conrod at 275+ kph, flat out, no lift off, that's exhilarating

OR

McPhillamy, it's blind. so you turn in from memory

Fish hook in the wet is "fun" :(

What times were you doing Brad?

Going to the SSCC sprint march 2? Its my bday so I doubt I'll make it :D

South circuit was consiatanly doing 47's on sunday with a borrowed timer, but its got alot more in it once I sort out the suspension issue. Straight line speed was phenominal. Just felt like a drift car through a couple of turns.

Yeah im taking it back to oran park on sunday this week for a GP day to get suspension hopefully sorted.

Back on dyno the week after for some more boost.

Then wakefield on the 23rd for our circuit day

And with any luck ill have everything iorned out for the begining of the series in march.

flip flop at OP is pretty good. you know you have done the last 2 corners well if you are going fast enough that you want to lift off.

Totally agree. you question yourself and think should I shouldnt I then change your mind twice before holding it down hard!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
