I've had this unit for a while now but I've only been able to test it in the wet on the track twice. I've never had a chance to test it on a dry track yet. It's still hard to put all the power down in the wet but the unit makes the car feels more controllable. I came first in the class for both of these track days. I use map 2 with about 50 gain.

I would love to know what setting other people use in the dry.

What settings do you use in the on the track dry/wet? What works and what doesn't?

Apology if this is in the wrong forum, however I feel that there will be more trackies in this forum. Please feel free to move it to a more apropriate section moderator :)

Hi Dan! I use mine on the same setting I think for dry track work - will confirm tomorrow but it drives very nicely with this setting and 400kw at the wheels.

Hi Andrew! How are you going and how fast is that beast around Mallalla now?

Thanks mate. I will be keen to know and try your settings for sure. My car has similar power to your :)

Dan - I confirmed the settings as posted above. The car still has an open wheel front diff, but with a proper track orientated wheel alignment, corner weighting and the 4wd controller it is very neutral on the circuit. So far PB at Mallala of 1:17 but it now has new semis, new DMS suspension and adjustable sway bars, and of course 50kw more at the wheels than when it ran that time. Heading out this sunday to stir up the porsche club, i'll let you know how it goes. The standard gear ratios are starting to sh@t me at Mallala, close ratio should make a fair difference :)

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
