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?

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.

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 :D

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.

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 :(

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"

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 :domokun:

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 :)

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
