omg so buggered!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Firstly well done to Chubbs n Clapa achieving their goals. Chubbs proving that even hairdressers are fast and can steer with 54.9, Clapa steering the tug boat around in an impressive 53.6 and George (Demon) getting his EVO out for the first time punching out a 58.5!!!!

Now the failvia... well it seems that this mysterious issue is not so evident anymore... still some vibration under heavy brakes but i think that is just the pad/rotor... anyways it ended up getting around in a 51.7 which was happy about. Goal for sunday with all the stars and moons aligned i will get into the 50's....

A good alignment done and get the tyre pressures right she will be good to roll...

A big shout out to JB again for the day, Ben harper and george medeike (spelling lol) showing me how the car should be driven :whistling:

So what else is left to do.?!?!?!?!!?

Of course.. BBBEEEEEEEEERRRR!!!!

Its Ben Porter :D:whistling:

Yeah, what an epic day, plenty good cars, loads of track time, I love the south circuit!

the mx5 was keeping most of the cars honest! loved it!

Thanks to JB for today, totally worth every cent, I learnt so much, if it werent for these guys, Id be alot slower as I wouldnt have a clue how to drive this new thing properly!

Big ups to Eugene, George, Ando and Clappa also for doing great times and enjoying the day!

Now, my goal is 53's for sundays supersprint!

Sorry to hear all the bad luck Stu :D

What pressures do u need to run Ando and what have you been running?

At that Wakefield day (first time on semi slicks) I was running 30psi cold which rose to about 32-33psi hot but found out from the Yokohama dealer just near me that I should have started them at 25psi cold which will rise to 26-27psi.

Doubt I would have noticed any difference on my first day out in the car but ill give it a go at the OP GP day.

Ben - Champ i only adjusted the temp once all day lol.... i put 26 psi cold all round first session and came in with 33psi on drivers front & rear and 30 psi passanger front and rear so obvisouly there is a heap more load on the right hand side of car.... but yeah that was it for all day... just left them as that hahahahahaha just couldnt be arse fiddling as we had no air compressor, except clapas little cigarette lighter jobby which had less huff thana 70yr old hooker!!! :D

My moto if it goes, drive it.... meh to finer technical details... thats for this Sunday @ supersprint :( Today was R&D...

    • Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
    • I remembered wrong, but was close though 1Kz setting because those Jaycar SSRs don't go any faster, 1x pump per SSR with flyback diodes & heatsinks. In saying that, the heatsinks are overkill. Just on an alloy plate is more than sufficient. You'll find without a flyback diode, your SSRs will heat up big time and also die prematurely.  I've been running the two same SSRs since the last motor, no issues, car does 2 hour straight drives in summer once in a while and gets punished on the track. Nothing melts, no hot messes, etc.    
    • Hmm. You're probably best off working out what the lobe centreline or even the LSA is for the stock cams, with VCT OFF. That's bound to be out there somewhere. Then, work on the assumption that the Kelford centreline is probably the same, and wouldn't be more than a couple of degrees away, if it is different at all. I'm very surprised that you needed to adjust the exhaust cam by 5° to get it on spec. That screams there's another problem somewhere. Anything from the belt being 1 tooth off (how many degrees is one tooth worth?) to simple user/measurement error on the degree wheel. I say this because Kelford, like most quality cam manufacturers these days, does a pretty good job of actually making the cams to spec, not relying on patching it up afterwards like we had to do back in the 80s.
    • Besides packing it, you can also fill your pump through the oil filter inlet port. After cranking for what felt like an eternity without pressure, i fed a tube in through there and filled it with oil. Cranked for a few seconds after that and had pressure.
