Hsvoc Sandown Track Day 1st August

[Adz]

Was going to message you on the weekend to see if you were going to be running! Awesome! Was also going to see if you are up for a run up to Winton the following week?

Winton could be a definate maybe. A trailer would really help. Will keep you posted

You will be happy to know we are tackeling the brake issue head on and I dont mean by crashing in to oncoming traffic to slow down.

I have identified that all nissan master cylinders have a 50:50 proportioning up to a specific split point. At that point it goes to a 60/40 split to the rear +3/-7. I am varifying this on the weekend by tracing brake presures with a testing kit. Will provide the graph next week. If this comes out in factory spec which I think it will we are going back to std gtr calipers on the rear not the alcon setup. This in addition to the anit dive, the removal of the battey in the front and a mild brake pad should see the braking distances improve dramatically and stop the rears from locking.

Curently we have been using a 60% reducer to iliminate the rear lock up. This ment there was a 70/30 brake split when there should have been 50/50 which then decreased to a 76/24 split upon maximum braking. Obviously not ideal but better than random hand brake gremlin.

Will keep you posted.

Will be interesting to see how you go. Is it using 4 channels one for each wheel, or just front and rear circuits?

If its up the duff it may simply be better to go aftermarket pedal box. Do you have all your fluff on the thing now, diffusers, wing etc?

[Adz]

Its a static test kit that screws in to the bleed nipples on the calipers on one side of the car. So only two channel, front and rear.

No fluff yet but maybe by the 1st.

[Russman]

I won't be driving. Might come for a watch though.

Dont want to risk $180 if I break something at winton tomorrow and can't drive and don't wanna pay $280 coz it will be less than a week till entries close.

Bit of a rip if you ask me.

[Adz]

Geez $100 for a late entry is robbery.

You should contact them and ask if you can get a refund if you car brakes prior to.

[Roy]

Well as gutted as i am that in my trip back i dont get a run at the 1:21 i want, will have to be happy with Winton on the 6th and Eastern Creek on the 8th

[Adz]

Pwor EC on the 8th. Nice.

[Russman]

Eastern Creek on the 8th

Oh yeah!!!

[Roy]

Road Trip? Will be seeing if Wakefield has a day on the following week so that after catchig up with family, the drive back to Melb for DECA wont be so boring Would trade it all for a 1.1 sec improvement at Sandown for a 1:21

[Rekin]

Needs to be done? Basically new fuel pump, wheel alignment and service.

What i want done? New fuel rail, fuel filter, fuel reg, 6boost manifold install, plazmaman inlet plenum install, install titanium exhaust , SBC-R EBC installed, Gizzmo shift light installed, My-Chron wiring finished, new brakes put on, RB25box installed with new twin plate, new radiator and electic fans and fan controller, isntall front undertray, new upper and lower susp arms and bits, maybe try the cams i have sitting around...LOL, so much shit i have acquired for the car. To think i have sold some of the stuff i was going to install

LOL, the body got the overhaul after i took it off the road, but most of the mechanicals still need doing. Also want to give it a run down the qtr before going back OS, though not sure i have the time. Need to borrow some R32 GTR rims to buy some good drag radials. I want a 12.2 or better

TRAITOR!!! Its all RB20 or go home

[Roy]

Hey, the job looks like a 50% chance of being exported OS and buggered if i want the trouble of trying to find a replacement RB20 box abroad. Or being stranded in another country because she finally let up on me

[Adz]

Wow it doesnt look good for this weekend. Sadely I will still be there sitting in a garage freezing my nutz off hoping for one semi dry lap.

Bris you keen for Winton next weekend. Both Sat and Sun have club sprints. One with Alfa and one with Jag.

Cant belive Sandown is free next weekend and no clubs are using it. Juz talked me out of enquiring for a private hire and a mass club mail out lol.

[Roy]

Well, me being a fark knuckle compnay man. ..my leave has been postponed and my flight diverted to Singapore to fix fark up on a job. They are telling me its will only eb a few days but that means i wont have any time to work on the car....thats assuming i am not there for my entire two week holiday before returning to Inida on the 15th ! SO depressed right now, every time i make plans and get excited, work farks them up. I cant wait to quit this job, hopefully in the next week or two. Oer 6 years with them and whilst its good to be the go to guy, other people are treated and paid like royalty, whilst...well i stil cant afford anyting better then an R32 GTST

[JAGR33]

Well, if my sources are correct Adam punched out a 1:16.6 today at Sandown...

I'm speechless.....

Actually here's the proof:

[Roy]

I think doing a 19 woudl be scary....no way i could pilot any car that fast around Sandown. Gets to a certain point and its just plain scary!

[Russman]

Adz! Frieken awesome mate! I'm so happy for ya!

[acsplit]

Awesome session

I think it was a 1.35 , 1:18 then 1.17.02 then 17.2 then 16.6

Very impressive to watch and well worth waiting out the rain and wind.

Quickest car on the day by far, as the fat ambo said "that ice burner should go alright"

[JAGR33]

Vid of the 1:16 is up http://www.youtube.com/user/Adz32?feature=...u/0/g3VqVdSFjdk

[Roy]

Car looks so well sorted. Have to ask, has there been a change to the final drive ratio? Looks like you are pulling gears at about the same places so doesnt appear to be that different gear wise. Your power down is so much better then before, seems to help being in 3rd rather then 2nd onto the straights as well.

So, i am dieing to find out...what is the change? Rear diffuser and wing? Change in suspension and alignment? Car looks mega stable...but i am sure there was more to your wheel work then there was your footwork

LOL, also sounds like no more gate Perhaps you should do a Red Bull and plumb your gate to your rear diffuser...yeh, that it, thats your big secret

[limpus]

Holy crap...1.16 is really hauling...well done!!!
