The EVO split the plenum where the idle control stepper motor bolts on.

bummer :banana: the car was super quick all day. and in fact all the cars seemed to be pretty reliable with no big stacks and no big blow ups which was nice to see. a few little dramas but nothing that caused any oil downs etc.

Vi-PEC wins Superlap !!!

Well done Insight Motorsport on taking out the Superlap Event.

Scott Kuhner has prepared, engineered and tuned the car and runs a V88 ecu and uses E85 fuel.

Scotty did plenty of hours on the car up to the event and did plenty of overnight 5am sessions on it to get it ready.

top stuff guys.

They also took out clubsprint event in the evo9 which uses a Vi-PEC pnp ecu and uses E85.

AND Federal 595RS-R tyres Paul :banana:

Ahhh... good to hear that it's only a minor problem.

Everyone was a little shocked, we were all hoping to see 1:11s from the car in the balls-out flying lap :banana:

We have too many brand whores on this forum :banana:

I think you're overreacting steve.. I dont think you'd be getting so worked up if you were drinking an icy cold Coca Cola. Taste the sensation.

Congrats to all the competitors and winners!

I was there on the Saturday (Black S13 with GT wing) but couldnt make it on the Sunday unfortunately.

Not many cars were there on the Saturday but still more than enough to drool over!

Notice the natsoft times dont show all competitors - there were 2 nice R32 GTR's at the practise but arent showing any times on natsoft. Anyone know what happened to them and what they ran?

Adz picked it. the track was definitely slower than last year. :D maybe 1 to 2 seconds off. possibly due to lots of rain during the week and no big events with cars on slicks running for a bit. when I was driving on saturday the track felt very green.

which just goes to show how fast the evo with garth driving is. he still bagged a flat 12 which is stupid fast! well done to those guys.

mark and russ were happy. a 13.6 on the cars first outing was great, and that was with no front drive. the car was toasting the rear tyres for most of the track. apart from that the car ran faultlessly all day. :ninja:

haha, it looks like a drift car!

I wonder if the front drive problem is the same issue they had with the 33 gtr at the Bathurst sprint.

Didnt the BSM cars go through a similar spate of problems a while back?

Regardless it sounds like this car is going to be a total time attack weapon when they get power to all 4.

Big showing for Vi-PEC in its 1st serious event...maybe they can now be considered as a REAL alternative to MoTeC...as they removed the MoTeC that Garth used to run and fitted the Vi-PEC with a marked improvement in the running of the engine.

Considered an alternative to the best ecu in the world,,,settle down tiger.

More like it was Garth's great driving than an ecu change.

I think I know what I'm talking about and Garth was screaming through T1 and up to T2,,,way faster and smoother than anybody else. When you can get off the throttle and get back on it between T1 and T2 says a lot for your driving and car setup.

I think his quick times had more to do with a well sorted suspension and the driver extracting the best from it.

NEIL!!!! HOW DARE YOU!! :ph34r::D:D

Anyone know if the black R32 GTSt from Vic got through the day with no dramas? Hope Russ Jr went well in the little GTSt.

Good times!

I had so much fun. I really under-estimated the track though. It is such a drivers track and suspension is super important and revealed some big weaknesses in my setup. If only I knew a few weeks ago I would have come up for the sat as well. I would have made a world of difference knowing the track. My only practice is on V8 supercars on xbox haha. And they handle better on xbox.

Ending up with a 1:24:3 is good enough for me for first time out. I started on high 1:26s so came down nearly 3 secs.

Quality of cars was outstanding. Blew me away and plenty of inspiration for the lower budget competitors. I hope that superlap continues to do these events. I spoke to the Yokohama guys and they seemed keen enough to continue if they get support. I was plugging a Sandown superlap to the sponsors and organisers the whole time I was there!!! :down:

Oh yeah... and I officiall got the best prize even if I wasn't that fast! Advan RS wheels from the raffle haha! I spent a lot of money (for my budget) getting to superlap so it was incredible to get something back.

Mate what can I say,,,a car I hate,,,won. The man driving it,,,drove it great. Congrats big time to him.

Russ & Marks R34 sat me on my arse,,,most peeps look at the whole picture but I fell in love with the little stuff like the mirrors and the cars start up panel.

Congrats have to also go Mr Versatile as well,,,nice driving mate

Neil.

hey gents!!

Well once again had ball!! really loved the format!

have to say well done the Bel garage boys the Evo looked like a rocket ship on track! also a few other cars not far behind martin & cam, mark well done,

also was great too watch John boston get round the track , loved it! i tried to stick with him in the r35 but the bloody thing was handling like a boat!! i had no chance but got a few lines off him before he got away ! thanks JB

We just got home now and pretty tired but i am going to post a link to a little incar of our drift pig, mark drove it bloody well considering, it certainly was a bit of a handful!

we are rapt with it's first outing and it will only improve from here , looking forward to a few drinks at the nissan/datsun nationals with a few of you a morgan park at easter.

cheers russ

    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
