I'm using it as an excuse to justify replacing the standard swaybars with adjustable Whiteline bars.

It only hits when you've got it all loaded up in the middle of a corner and you hit a decent bump. I'm hoping the sway bars will increase roll resistance enough to stop it happening. Doesn't happen at QR or on the road, just those 2 spots at Lakeside - both have decent bumps in them when the car is all loaded up on that side.

If that doesn't work I'll look at other options. but I don't fancy relocating the loom...

well except then you either rub through loom, or fit plate and rub through tyre.

best bet is relocate the loom.

LOL

I have been a victim in my 32 at the circuit. ;)

learnt lesson, relocated now!

im looking forward to this. out of curiosity, for those who have done both winton and oran park can you put up your times. basic theory is that winton is the closest thing to oran park we have down here and could be a rough indicator of times to be had..

Handbags belts out 36s at Winton and 17s at Oran Park. But his car is not exactly easy to use as a yard stick because the thing is such a wild thing to drive. So may be worthwhile considering a GT Production STI used to run 1:33 at Winton and at OP they run 1:16

email nathan@superlap Bryce he'll be able to help with that.

it's going to be a ripper. hell I may even make a fool of myself in a car that's way above my skill level... :P

Enter the Truck Beer Man!!!

lol, it's pace is on par with my skill level. still it might give that RX7 a shake up as he comes up pit lane the wrong way at me...

Ha,,Ha,, thats as funny as Baron,,,thats a car I was asked to drive. I can't see it happening now as we are about to have a little professional argument soon.

If I do still get to drive it,,,there will be none of those shenanigans,,,so you might have to not use the truck my good man.

Merry Christmas everybody.

Love as always

Neil.

Neil you mean it's wrong to drive the wrong way up pitlane? But I seen a well known tv personality/instructor do it last weekend in his ute so it must be ok....

No Ben nothings wrong till you get caught. You should know that!!!.

No I would never drive the right way on my mobile,,,then reverse back into my garage and then reverse down pit lane again. Did i get that right???.

Enjoy Christmas everybody

Neil.

    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion 
    • So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for    
    • I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
