Yeah I'm about the same. Have done 3 laps. Spun on 2 of them. 1.47.222 on the third but it was a shit lap. Off the track lots. Missed most apexes of the corners. Could easily do a 1.46. Don't know about a 1.42 tho. On r3 tires I probably could.

Abywho I,m going tgo go play a bit more. I'm posting from my phone and am quickly running out of battery.

Ok, was just about to turn off the sony after I finished the lap I was on. Was the m3 on the stock sports tyres (not the r3 tyres) and got a 1.43.6. Only 2 small mistakes. Could probably get a low 1.43 out of them. Was super happy with that effort though.

And my 1.38.2 lap was only my 3rd lap on the race tyres. First lap was a 1.39.8 then a 1.38.8 then the 1.38.2

Fk 1:38.2 is epic! Want to see video...

So far, my best is a 1:40.6 on medium race tyres...

Edit: Omg 1:43.6 on sports tyres....

Must see video =/

You is el captain king.....

Give up on this lol. You win this time........

you can keep that one. so far my best is a 1.46.1 on el capitan on r3 tyres. i could easily get into the 1.44's (since i had an off on my fastest lap, but on another lap i was down 1.7 seconds down at the second split and got back up to 0.6 seconds down at the finish, and other laps i have been 0.5 seconds quicker at the first split but lose it going over the mountain), but i don't know how much better than that i could do. so if i could string a decent lap together i could get to a mid 1.44. certainly don't think i could get another 4 seconds out if it without changing the oil. even then i doubt i'd get 4 seconds worth. also only got a 1.54 on street tyres round there.

next track i'm going to play will be leguna seca or tokyo r246 or something like that. or even the seattle city course. i like that one. or midfield raceway.

so what's that then? you won tsukuba, i won fuji in the nike, you get the dc5 (was about to go have another go with the integra but it appears i have lost use of the tv to the missus). you can have el capitan cause i quit on that course. so it's 3:1. or 4:1 since i will gladly give you the ring without even trying.

so what track and car next?

Fastest I clocked with the legacy as mentioned above on the tsukuba wet track was 1'16.753

its such a delicate challenge, even half throttle too early just opens the line right up. argh! good one tho

Haha 4-1 cause I'm competitive :). With el captain, just have to be confident and turn in even though you think you're going to total it...

Damn, want to try tsukuba but I just lent my ps2 to my mate. He'll probably come in here and compete lol.

yeah that's why i picked it. and braking is even more delicate. i only did 3 laps of the wet track last night to get that time. first lap i still had driving aids on (realised half way round so thought i might as well finish the lap). that was a low 1.17. then my first lap without driving aids was a 1.16.8 and i finished it half on the grass, so the next lap i was half a car length behind my ghost at the first corner due to the slower speed across the line. i didn't catch my ghost until the last corner.

next i think i might have a go in something rwd around the tsukuba wet track. something like a stock 350z.

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
