grippier tyres.....more track knowledge......hardest bit is the fact i dont want to manualise it

I was running plain street tyres. Some okay-ish Bridgestone items. Was also suffering misfire above 4,500rpm, so I had to shift gears early. But yeah it helps to know the track well :blink:

See how I go next time out.

:)

^^ LOL gav

Nugzy I hear ya... my GTR was all over the place on street tyres out there... semis are a must for good times.

You weren't the only one I was just running 595 federals, I was in car 20 the Purple 31 coupe, only chang i made to the car from my drift set up was putting 235's on the back vs 215s all round.

Although I drove the car to 150% of the tires capabilities, the car was either sliding the front or the back or all the whole time. and I was not trying to drift it.

But I reckon a 126.99 and running consistently and being within half a second the whole day of that time with street tires and stock brakes, with the car sliding the whole time, even at 200km/h when clicking 5th at the kink, was pretty reasonable.

would have liked to go faster but need better tires and brakes

Was the suspension overly stiff at the rear? Will cause the rear end to slide far more than you want for a rwd car, obviously if you primarily drift then you don't want to change much but some softer rear rates and dampners would probably be of big benefit.

Running 32 rear sub frame rear spring rate is 7.5 kg JIC dampers non adjust valveing inverted mono tube, white line adj rear bar the thickest one 24mm from memory stiffest setting 17x9+35 wheels 1deg neg ds camber 1.5 ps camber .5mm toe in.

Front 31 struts converted to coil overs 8.1 kg springs bilstien inserts, (fells just slightly under damper 3 deg neg 2mm toe out 17x8 total offset +3 5deg castor (cant put any more in or ill hit the front bar) front bar whiteline 27mm adj on softest setting.

Haven't got around to plunging in all my geometry and settings into my full car dynamic modelling software yet but will get around to it shortly.

Was mainly having issues with slow-med speed under steer around tight corners and have almost fixed that, but it has obviously induced high speed over steer (with 200 only RwKw you should not be able to blaze the tires in 5th at 200).

but yeah Not too concerned just yet as the car is a drift car and those conditions are not encountered at mallala during drift

Well the speedo is not connected, and I over estimated. just calculated my speed from my tach, only hit 180Km/h.

6500 rpm 235/45R17 (643mm dia) 4.36 diff in 4th 1.1

didn't mean to BS, but it was very hairy having the ass step right out on you at that speed any way

it's tonnes of fun! right after you shit yourself

i think marc (GTS II) might have done that around the kink behind me at one point. i had a mirror full of opposite lock SVD :)

Nugzy I hear ya... my GTR was all over the place on street tyres out there... semis are a must for good times.

I too had grip issues, both under brakes/cornering and coming on boost. And that was with 265 Toyos but admittedly being 18's really doesn't help.

Definitely going to get some 17's for track wheels and fit some semis.

Great website for stuff like this

no ones got pics of the red mx5? i see how it is, there's no love for the old miata :(

Yeah, i know, im well behind in getting pics up. Along with building my own cars, and working, i've been getting through pics, more later tonight... In the meantime, the MX5, creating a smokescreen to distract others...

And fighting well above its weight ;)

probably the classic 'oh shit oh shit oh shit OH SHIT!' face.

ha, guess my spoiler makes a bit of a difference through the kink, never had the back end feel like it wanted to dance off line.

i remember my thought proces quite well:

"okay here we go, 50 meter board, wait, wait, wait BBBBRRRRAAAAAAKKKKEEEEE, turn in......

shit, too much

catch it... hey check out this cool slide.... ah wel its gone too far, keep the power on and do a big skidOOOOHHHHHH SSSHHHHHIIIIIIIITTTTTT!!!!!!!!"

then a little bit of wee came out

    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
