Considering the problems that the evo and the 34 had, I don't think the first day counted much dialling happens on the first day, add to that the large drops in temperature over the day and the changes to track and tyre temps from midday to 4pm and only 15 min sessions, I think they would love more track time to work on things.. Specially when you are aiming for one lap... You don't have the comfort of having 40 laps to get adjusted and make ip time.

russ has a good handle on the brakes now and a few tips learnt on trying to eliminate the pad knock off problems that GTRs with big brakes are notorious for.

There is a fix for that, we used to have the same problems as everyone, but changed the front wheel bearings to a ball type bearing (tapered std) and the problem is fixed. have had same front bearings with no knock off for years now.

ps The BSM GTR is for sale too.

Its made me realise how much money I will need to spend to make my car even remotely close to the front runners :)

That's probably right.. I thought it was $800 entry though... The tyres would be the killers there... Specially if your running 265s on 18s.. 2k wouldn't even get you 2 fresh sets.

2k won't even get you the first set! not of anything competitive anyway.

$2K will just get me one set of 285xR18 RE55's

I want to know where you get your tires !!

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...

      Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...

      They also make them with the motor mounted on the side

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
