sweet so if they ask its being run by SAU ye???

and ye ill enter when i have a car worthy to enter lol

Oh come on dude, no excuses. I'll be entering in a stock auto GT-T - we can be GT-T buddies. If you don't drive I'll be dissapointed.

Edit: just had a read. So I'll need a fire extinguisher, secondary bonnet catch and battery triangle - am I missing anything? :P

Anyone? :P

ok so I'm avalible to do this one.

(fly out at 6 am the next morning)

so sandown kinda scares me, not much run off areas.

if I do the DT will I get timings and be in the club championship?

Or so I just need to enter as the slow group and work up the confidence?

either way I'm there

cheers

Anyone? :thumbsup:

yup, you need to have a fire extinguisher mounted properly in the car (not just screwed into the carpet). i made a bracket with mounts to the seat rails in mine. Blue triangle (just blue electrical tape will do fine) to indicate the battery location in the car, and finally the secondary bonnet restraint. if your bonnet on the car is standard it SHOULD be fine as technically it allready has a secondary latch, because you pop the bonnet with the lever, then you release the catch at the front... (mine is standard and ive never had a problem...) also dont forget, cover all limbs, so long sleaves and proper shoes are important. my mate once forgot about this rule and turned up in a short sleave shirt, he had to go home and get changed...

i think that covers everything you need, oh, most important, HAVE FUN!!!!! :down:

i dont belive there is timing for the DT group.

you could always do the DT this time, get to know the place, then go for timing next time. :down:

its up to you.

Cheers. I've been meaning to get an extinguisher for the '34 for ages, this at least forces me to do so. Can anyone confirm the stock bonnet will pass? Or do I need to go out and buy a leather restraint or similar for it?

Also - the battery triangle - would I be able to use blue Painters Tape instead of duct or electrical tape? It won't hurt my paint and I have that at home.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.

      Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
