I did however get double the track time you did. 4 sort of dry laps compared to your 2... :laugh:

I think the new shocks are working a treat !!

Imagine what a nice sunny day with warm track temps and bigger kahoonas could do to your times???

1.6 seconds and you've pipped Frank..

By the way, love your signature...

Was an interesting day if nothing else....sorry about those with dramas and I hope nothing was too serious with your beast archie.

I had a good day despite the clutch giving up the ghost....did a PB of 1:50.3 and then repeated it the next session. I think most of the time was made up at turn 1 and southern loop...to be honest turn 1 scared the crap outta me the first time - missed the apex and that grass and ripple strip was coming up very fast. Luckily the left hand wheels just touched the ripple strip with no adverse effect. The second time I hit the apex and there was much more room on the exit ;) Also had a bit of fun in the wetter session towards the end of the day and was going to go out again but figured it wasn't worth the tow home due to a busted clutch.

Dammit the 49's are soooo close :laugh:

Pity about the weather and the bad luck with the car.

Only a very small window of opportunity where the track was good to get in some decent times so respect to those who managed to do PB's considering track temps/conditions.

Well done to Aaron on the 44....f*kn fast!

Time to see the doc re the engine noise :wave:

I haz teh frost bite!!!! :wave:

Hehehe - JK - was a good day despite the weather.

Congrats to all who competed, especially those who improved their PB's, particularly Aaron!!!

& good job Jack for playing the joke on Ferni :bunny:

Also thanks to those who officiated with me (Justin) & those who offered the services of their heater while lining up in dummy grid :D

It was v cold (thanks again for new jacket Bec ) Not too many dry session and a few of the boys had issues. A few good PB's ( Congrats Aaron 1.44.8 & Anthony 1.50 fantastic ). Archie & Andrew hope Dr.Beno doesn't have too much bad news.. Hard Luck Matt with the wiring gremlin bud..Next time..

Thanks Again Jack for the Shotgun ride.

Can't wait for the next PI, with Sunshine ?? :D

the weather came in pretty quickly on saturday afternoon,

there were some interesting moments on turn 3? (the almost 90 degree right hand corner)

during the supersprint sessions, an hsv ran straight off with massive understeer and a couple of the rwd cars including the black s13 got all crossed up on the exit which made it entertaining, the 360 was going flat out even in the wet which was exciting to watch too...

watching the yellow gt40 rep going flat out with the yellow evo chasing it was a cool battle too,

props to the gt40 driver for belting the car all afternoon, that thing looked so cool...

does anyone have info on the AVO r33, it looked awesome out there,

Dean's s14 held together which was nice, although he had his hands full in the supersprint with the yellow/purple VS commodore on his tail, apparently he could see it bucking and lifting front wheels out of corners in his rear view mirror... :)

1.44 hmm Maybe if i just turn left at turn 1 and cut out southern loop all together...... so bloody fast Aaron. Car must be feeling pretty good. What are the new shocks?

1.50.3, so close Ant. That extra half second was bloody hard when i did it not long ago. But I don't think anyone would bet against a sub 50 out of you next time out as long as the conditions are good.

They are some fast times!

Yeh the AVO car was having troubles in the morning. It seemed to be running better in the afternoon but was pretty wet. I dont think it got the chance to go any quicker then a 1:56 :)

Ant may end up re-writing the book for a pretty std GTR. 1:50 for shcoks and some N1 turbos and semis is a huge feat. Especially with the slippiing clutch !

And those times would have topped the times of the Porsche day on Sunday. There were a few crs into the 40s, but most were high 50s or 2mins +

Ha, i saw your car as i was coming back from some 'road testing' in my datto. you were just leaving, and funnily enought your car looked like it does in the avatar. don't you worry about mr. plod?

Haha I remember that datto!

Yeah I worry about the po po as it is my daily driver, until I get a work ute.. also having no front bar dosnt help (waiting to get my front bar back from paint)

Hopefully next time I wont be spectating!

Well done on the times guys. :D

Cheers

Liam.

    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
