its a custom built RB32 from signature performance in Ipswich, Mick built it and drives it and has had it for the 3 or 4 years i have known him. Noel knows more about power figues and the like but it is very impressive. He had a lot of trouble getting the power down

that we did for sure,

as Fine line said, we made allot of changes in the lead up to super lap but really ran out of time, even down to changing brake rotors at midnight, the night before we left.

thursday practise saw a few more dramas with us blowing a diff up (just got too hot and the lsd gave way) a phone call to Nismo saw the QLD rep ringing around for us thursday night/friday morning and by 10AM friday we had a brand new Nismo 2 way lsd sitting on the pit bay floor. My mechanic and i then frantically re-built the diff, missing the first session of the weekend.

the diff helped but turned out that wasn't our only issue, with the car unstable through corners we pulled the boost back and made it easier to drive- the car got better lap times with less power-

on the positive note though, eastern creek was a great track to drive and the event was awesome, lots of fun had by all,

we will be going back next year for sure.

our data logger was showing a gps speed of 258 kph down the straight, the fastest ive been in that car, with turn one approaching at those speeds it gave me a great deal of respect for the pro guys who hardly brake for that corner,

Your effort just to get there was a win in itself Mik, Hope to see you back bigger and badder next year mate. :)

thanks mate,

yeah we'll be going strong next year, develop the car further, we have a drive train thats bullet proof now, so we just need to get it to turn corners,

Agreed!

It was awesome to see you down there Mick! With a full year to develop what is already a strong base you should have a really good event next year.

Personally I loved the thing, was one of the quickest looking cars out there each session. Looks like a heap of fun to drive too, like a big go kart!

Did you wear ear plugs when driving it?

same here... it was the most memorable car of the event... and it sure wasnt slow..

If i was driving something that loud it would want to be a lot damn quicker than that.

Had a bunch of honda fanboiz in front of us in the stands and even they cringed when it went past,

The silver s2000 was another story though, That thing was porn.

i really enjoyed the experience being at eastern creek for the first time and was unofficially the Fastest 4cyl NA RWD @ Superlap 2010 with the 1:46.239 so i was pretty happy

i just hope next year it can be somewhere else eg Phillip Island so that i can goto another track that i've never driven on

Ah mate I didn't realise you were a fellow QUEENSLANDER!!!!!!! (Suck shit Blues! :blink:)

I watched you going around all weekend thinking "thats a very well driven S2k". Good work mate :)

You dont happen to have another front bar/splitter lying about for sale do you?

I like that red S2000, sounded very nice at full noise

:blink:

maybe,

the front bar/splitter (along with the other aftermarket panels) is one that we made here in the shop, its a carbon fibre composote and worked really really well,

we made it as we couldn't find anything that would do the job we wanted in the way we wanted, since making it we have had allot of interest in them.

we will soon be producing them and offering them up for sale, stay tuned

    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
