Hi fellas,

Hope everyone is well - not long now till the start of your season whilst ours draws to a close here in the UK.

Well after 11 8.1's this year finally after some further mods we have cracked the 7's & have Europes first ever 7 sec skyline :(

Ran at the weekend & completed 3 runs in total & all 7's

1st 7.93 @ 171

2nd 7.78 @ 172

3rd 7.75 @ 175

After all the hard work & learning this year i'm over the moon :D

First 2 runs were at 2 bar boost & the third at 2.2, 3rd would have been quicker if i had changed gear better.

We run again next week in our last official competition of the year, we have more boost to go yet & could connect nos up (but not so sure we will until next year) so may get those times down a bit further still.

Here's some piccies from the weekend

cheers

John

well done guys, numbers falling consistently now and the more data collected means its ony going to go quicker. once you get the chassis sorted and keep those front wheels on the track it will only go faster again.

Bring on the 7.0s

thanks guys & as soon as we saw 7's on the board it makes it feel worth all the time, effort & grief :P

Quick vid here (2nd run in qualifying, before anyone gives me grief about reaction times it was only qualifying :laughing-smiley-014: )

Have some better quality ones being put together over the next couple of weeks.

This weekends competition is not looking good weatherwise at the moment which is a real pain as may well be the last opportunity we get to run on a decent track surface before winter is here but there's always next year.

I personally 100% want to bring this car to Oz for the Perth & Sydney Summer Nationals & can guarantee we will in 2010. I'm glad now we didn't bring it over this year as it was just to soon & we had far to much work to do & things to learn & same story next year where the car will be developed a lot lot further.

When we do bring it over in 2010 i want it to be running serious consistent times so it's worth the trip & also something for you to see. Would be amazing if when we bring it over then we could run with the serious Aus/NZ cars at the same meets.

Thanks

John

Awesome result mate. It will be interesting to see where it ends.

Funny thing about this thread, I actually just finished watching the animated movie "cars" before I logged in, The front of your skyline looks straight from the movie. :wacko:

well bugger :rofl:

surprise surprise crap weather hits another event :)

can't believe we havnt got webbed feet & webbed hands in the Uk with the amount of bloody rain we see :(

No racing at all weekend just gone as inches & i mean inches of rain over the weekend flooded the pod so i reckon that's us for this year.

1 more trip out for the car in November at santa pods end of season closing down fireworks day/night but very doubtful we will run quick times in November as will be pretty cold here unless we strike it lucky.

As soon as that's over back to the drawing board to think up some ideas to get more out of the old girl for next year.

Hope you fellas have a great & safe season & be great to see The Godzilla Motorsports 32 get quicker & also see Reece move the 32 forward again as competition really drives everything forward.

Good luck Adrian - be great to see you hit some good times mate.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.

      I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
