nteresting opinions - most easy to relate to ....

my old r33 with 300 + rwkw's was very easily streetable with gentle yet strong twin plate clutch .. drve to city, next to cops, to and from work, etc ... yet power was 200+ from around 3,500 up to 9,000rpm .. and the car had reasonable milage unless driven quite hard ...

endless is easy to live with but idle is very lumpy and car is so loud .. power comes on strong from 5,000 ... basically 100kw @ 5000, then 250 @ 5,500 ... bascially easy to drive off boost ... but you really gotta rev to get some serious power from it ...

locked diffs are kinda hard to cruise with pace when a little wet on tight corners in series :)

Well if the owner is driving it... i wouldnt be too worried.

The times it has run at the strip the owner has not been driving it.

I was chatting to him at calder a month back, great guy actually, and it was his first time racing it himself.

He ran a 13's and some 12's if my memory serves me correctly.

Hopefully he comes on some cruises i told him too and stuff :)

I have heard of OBEHAVE but have not yet seen it.

As I said previously, racing should be kept on the strip or circuit as there are less unpredictable factors there.

Street racing doesn't interest me anymore like it used to as I have learnt the lesson of my licence being worth too much to my everyday survival as I rely on my car for social and business purposes.

If OBEHAVE is as fast, then I would love to meet the owner and compare times on the strip where all variables are as equal as possible.

    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion 
    • So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for    
    • I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
    • That's less offensive than the previous gen.....except for all that ugly black tupperware around the edges. Blerck!
