Hey All,

I'm a bit of a newbie with a relatively stocko 34 GTT, but I decided to enter in this weekends 'saturday afternoon sprints'. It should be loads of fun.

Is anyone else on here going?

If so, come n say g'day.

What time does it start? Are there any prostitutes? How much for entry ( the racetrack! )?

Maybe time to take on the time attack sprints then ;) Be nice to have your machine out there amongst the fast machines like giant.

The saturday crowd don't impress me much.

And yes, proper racing is free to watch. Unlike the tools in drift who think you should pay to watch practice.

Actually you are right I should pull my finger out and do a time attack day, sooner rather than later.

I didnt even know you competed in qr sprints. Are all the lap times recorded and compared?

yep.

last years lap times are probably gone from the QR web site.

Fastest sprint circuit time for me so far is a 57.36.

Not to shabby. One of my mates is currently doing low 58s and has a real suspension drama. Once I get hin to sort that it should have about a second in it. Even wasted the GT40 on slicks last outing.

Be interesting to see how all the lap times compare since the surface tratment on the track. Has anyone done a before and after compare without modifying their car ? I have started new hall of fame for the Time Attack guys so that all records are on the same surface as such.

Paul, Simon says they have dropped a second with the green surface, but expect to gain again after a few months when it sets and then cools off a bit.

Simon is running a Purple Sileighty with a nicely worked RB25 and massive rear wang :) Rear anti roll seems a little soft, he added an extra hole on my suggestion to firm it up more and feels it is a massive improvement to the understeer and left rear squat that was happening out of the final turn onto the straight at QR. So with more confidence in the car now he should start to get quicker.

      Differential Recommendations for HPDE Built R32 GTST

      I have S15 helical too. It is a bit worn. I think the drive behaviour you describe is related to this wear. Wear of helicals is something that no-one seems to have paid a lot of attention to, but now that they (as in original Nissan ones) are all a bit old - we're starting to  see the consequences. The ends of the helical spurs wear into the casing. That's where they perform the braking that diverts torque. Some of the more modern helical designs have proper wear surfaces introduced there, but the Nissan ones are just steel on steel (or iron).

      I've had a range of rear diff centres - open, viscous, helical, mechanical, welded, etc.   I can't go past a refreshed factory 32 gtr centre for consistent lock and street driving. The next step up for me would be the nismo 1.5 way , which likely suits you better as track sounds like the focus. Will chatter in carparks but its not the worst.   I have never tried a quaife rear diff, an option I've looked at before and might be one for you .....   Currently playing with an S15 centre at the moment and I hate it.  The transition from single wheel spin either side is just weird.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      Honestly, I did think the PDM could do it and thought Haltech told me the pump didn’t like it. But after re-reading the emails and comments above, I clearly misunderstood lol.

      I also run a CD009. I'm currently on a 4.08 and it's not great. I originally intended to run a 3.3 but had issues, more on that later. I'd stick to anywhere between a 3.3-3.7 as found in the 350z.  As for brands of ring and pinions, absolutely stay away from Speedtek. They are absolute garbage. See my build thread for more information on that. I went through two of there 3.3's and both had bad runout. They were paperweights and they have still yet to refund me.  I ended up putting in a Nissan 4.08, which was better then the original 4.36 but is far from ideal. I'm going to pop a 3.5 in this winter. I'd stick Nissan. I've also heard of a company "Neat Gearboxes" that makes them. Haven't tried them, but they can't be worst then Speedtek...

      You should Nistune the ECU, so you have freedom to use modern injectors instead of replacing with the same old shit. This is also required if you want to boost it up above ~200rwkW, where the stock injectors will be running out of capacity. Having said that, it is unlikely that the injectors need replacing just 'coz. If you imported it from Japan, the fuel should have been pretty good quality for the whole life of the car.
