& Mark reckons his shitbox r34 is fast, the r32 will rein supreme!!! :P

'king oath it will. we can line the spare aero bits for the 34 with lead that's a start. and then before mark goes out we just need to let a few psi out of one tyre and see how he copes with that... now who's laughing!!!

the 32 has moved up a notch for sure. hell it even has an aftermarket steering wheel now... watch out berry. it's coming for you. :P

ps when I got the text on saturday night I was a bit pissed and thought the smiley face was a frowny face. stupid blurry vision. had been making mojito's to cool down and they were tasty and about the only useful thing you can do with a bottle of bacardi and a giant mint plant.

Mate I want to be in the line up. Filling out the cams license application as we speak. Knowing what the requirements are for my type of vehicle would help heaps.

I still cant get my head around last years regs re tyre eligibility etc. If i read it correctly they are grouping marginal tyres like the feddy RSR'sand the Khumos in with full blown track semi's. Can anybody enlighten me on this.

Obviously tyre seletion is crucial.

Last year they considered Federal 595RS tyres to be semi slicks. It all comes down to the UTQG

rating. If lower than 100, then the tyre is considered a semi slick.

What Kuhmo tyres are you talking about being grouped in "full blown track semis"? KU36, V700?

I'm not familiar with the khumo range at all nismo. I was asking a general question in relation to info given by another. Ignore it if its irelevant bud.

Nathan it will be easier to pick a class to enter once the classes and rules are released! You need to get the info out asap so people know what they can and can't do.

Russ....good to hear about the car....why would you stuff around with a 35 when you have a perfectly good 32 around?!?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.

      Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
