Snowy/Bris, what program are you using for editing the POV film? Do you have to convert them to .wmv files first? Mine is not cooperating...

Also, with the fuel cut did it just stop the car completely and require a re-start, or did it regain power again after a while? Seems quite dangerous to just be rolling around!

Phillip Island 16-06-2013 After a wet start in the morning the day got better. Still very cold, had a lot of trouble getting heat into the tyres. Couple of issues spun the rear yoke in the tail shaft

In your defence Snowy you can clearly hear and see that your foot was on the accelerator and brake at the same time. For that to happen on the limit would alway result in an off. Having driven one of those before I know that without race shoes you have no hope of hitting the peddles right.

I once borrowed the old mans Lancia fulvia sport to go to basketball in... I had chunky bball boots on and after failing to stop at an intersection because I stood on all 3 peddles at the same time I went back home to get some better footwear... that was scary enough I can't imagine doing that at Spa in a Caterham... your a brave man

it's nice having peddles really close but only when you've got the right shoes on!

Dane I just use Windows Movie Maker to edit mine, very easy, just open it up and drag the file in.

It's strange, the laptop is a few months old and has plenty of everything to spare... must just not like it for some reason. It's a real pain! I'm going to blame Vista :P

Actually - the lappy that turns the pictures pink runs Vista. I've also tried using Adobe Premier Pro on that lappy and it imports the video's upside down! (Go figure).

This lappy works fine and its not as powerful as that other one - but it runs XP. So....

Hmmmm, who knows then??! I definitely think it's a vista thing though, it's very glitchy and gives me heaps fo grief. I'll try and run it on my other old laptop and see if it works.

Out of curiosity, how much were the R400's to hire at SPA? And are you being re-converted to RWD after all this AWD cheating?? :P

Spa wasn't cheap - it was basically $6K for the car and 2 days of track time (So it was $3K ea.) - but which included all the fuel, tyres (we went through 2 sets of front Avon Race tyres in the 2 days and the set of rears were ready to be tossed as well!) and all the coffee, cordial and biscuits you could manage. It was open pit from 9am - 6pm both days and you could do as many laps as you liked. (Although they did ask we try and keep it to 40mins / hour to give the car a rest).

You could do it with 4 of you and still get more than enough track time - we sat around doing nothing for a good part of the time simply because it was 35degs so we were exhausted.

That doesn't seem like too bad of a deal considering the tyres/fuel etc in a properly quick car like the R400, it's actually quite good if you were to spread it over a few more people. Pity about the airfare to Europe :P

I reckon that's pretty fair. $1500 per day for each of you. that's a lot of track time. hey a single set of RE55s costs more than that and to use 'em you still need a car and a track. so putting it thaty way it looks good. :P

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By Duncan · Posted

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
