Did some tuning over the weekend. sorted a boost leak that made a bad noise at 17+ psi. After going over the logs from friday night, the car makes 16psi at 4000rpm. I've upped the boost to 19psi, but havn't done and tuning or logging on it yet.

Damo wasn't able to drive the car for more tuning today, so i knocked up a heatshield to keep the inlet cool

Should have the tuning finished this week, and then it's off to it's first supersprint on sunday

Well the car got it's first run on the track this weekend. I was pretty happy with how it went, only problem was a pertty bad shudder though the steering wheel after the brakes heated up, i'm hoping it's just the pads going through there first heat cycle. They are Endless ccx that came with the calipers, and from a quick glance at the net, other people have had the same problem with the stoptech/ccx combo. I recon I'll put some hawks into them.

The car is very easy to drive, and we only just touched the surface of the shock tuning, the rebound is still at full soft. The car was still getting .5 sec a lap faster with each change. Ended up the day with a 62.8. Always fun when people come and basicly call you a lier when you tell them it's a standard wrecker rb20, with a rb20 highflow.

I will put some video on the tubes tonight, and upload some of Damo's artsy pics

Good to see its finally out!

That heat shield looks trick!

The washer bottle lid looks a bit ghetto though lol

What power did it make?

[sav man]

the washer bottle is the temp catch tank.

no idea on power, only dyno it's been near is the arse dyno, asit was all road tuned. It's running 16psi boost at the moment...might need to turn it up some more though

[DJRIFT]

everyone knows its a 26 with a single turbo and rb20 cam covers.

Don't you just love it. Its a good feeling when you exceed peoples expectations with a humble, maligned RB20

Re the brakes , CCX are good things but perhaps they are too hard on rotors. I have used only one set and loved them but they did seem to have an appetite for rotors with regards to shudder and cracking. I will be trialling the PFC 06 pads with the Stoptechs and 343mm rotors. I am really happy with how they have all come up. I will try and get a set of DS3000s to trial back to back with the PFC06 before they get too worn

[sav man]

I'm gunna get some brake cleaner and clean all the rotors, then re-bed them in.

Best I got was a 60.9. But as you can see it's all about HP, and the GT-R was up 10-15km/h at the end of the straights, and cause of the brake problem was a braking 35-50m earlier than a was in the GT-R.

In the Targa N1 the last time I drive it, it was in 2009 trim, and I got a 60.3. But 2010 trim was about 50rwkw more.
