The in car footage of the 7:27 lap in news shows exactly the same style... So much for smooth driving... Seems incredible to get away with this on tarmac, I am not sure I am that violent on dirt...

the nurburgring is in some ways a bit unique though. for one thing the surface there is very bad which may contribute. and it has some unique types of corner too.

If you factor in the speed he is carrying on this run then it all looks pretty normal to me.He's not going down the shops or to pick up the kids,just how fast is 7 grand in 5th then about 6200 in 6.Think about it,at that speed it's all happening pretty quickly so the steering input has to match the speed.Watch any pro motor sport incar and its all the same.I think that incar is absolutely stunning and have a look at the time he achieved.And also notice how only at the infamously rough Karousel(spellcheck) and maybe two other times he moves his hand position on the wheel and has another grab at it.That driving style is why he does what he does for a living and we do what we do .

Having driven AWD soobies on tracks for the past 9 years I've found that an AWD requires a significantly different technique to RWD cars primarily because of the inherent bias towards understeer. Main differences Ive found are that in an AWD:

1. Trail braking can help get the back sliding on entrance to the corner helping the car point better towards the apex.

2. A "jerk" on the wheel sometimes has to be used to unsettle the rear end so that the car starts to slide allowing you to straighten the wheel and "drift" into the corner again helping it to take the pressure off the front tyres and allow it to turn in.

3. Oversteer can sometimes be corrected by actually putting the boot in and pulling the car straight. (Complete opposite of what youd do with a RWD)

4. A RWDs rear tyre slip angle can be controlled easily by putting more power on or removing it. This is not possible in Subarus, (especially the ones without the electronicdiff), but may be possible with the GT-Rs RWD bias.

5. U can use lift off oversteer tendencies as a tool in certain tight esses to help set the car up for subsequent sudden changes in direction. (Same principle as in 1 above).

haven't taken the R-35 out yet so Its a whole new learning curve....

haha I think duncan has come quite a way....including outright win in the NSW Supersprint champs 2009. Second outright in today's round too (behind a v8 radical lol) with a 1.41.08 which is super fast in a car with only light mods.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.

      I just try to entirely stay away from ladder now unless it's something basic maintained by electricians. Even then and to your point, it mostly ends up being blocks I wrote in structured text.  PLC's are slowly going towards C, C++ and C#. I just wish Allen-Bradley would jump on the bandwagon.

      All of them are missing. You do not get much done with just AND, OR and NOT unfortunately. Ecumaster for example has a text based editor with at least 60+ math and logic instructions.
