Go Frosty

Cheers

Neil.

I'll be keeping a eye on the GT cars,,,. Stuffed if I know why they can't have a longer race,,,I know,,,piss the utes off and let the GT's have a 2 hour enduro.

I noticed Tony Alford ran around on Thursday in the 35 in P1 but nothing after that. Wonder why?.

Cheers

Neil.

I agree Neil, The utes shit me, give proper race cars a run, they need to bring back the 3 hour event they had when the like of Bowe and Stokel were running around in Ferrari and Lambos. That was fun to watch.

Very quick lap,,,but it was done in practice,,,so I don't think it counts.

agreed....but since murphy's lap was in qualifying not racing it doesn't count as a lap record either.

nothing can ever take away from murphy's lap, it was done years of development ago and stood for ages. amazing.

Well actually Murphs time was done in the top 10 shoot out,,,from memory he beat John Bowe much to the dis-like of the Ford fans (Mel and I were there) and Qual times do stand.

It's very disappointing that the GT cars which are real endurance cars only get to play on Saturday with 2 x 30 minute races.

Cheers

Neil.

GT are lucky to get 2x 30min races with cockrane handing out the session times. there are no holdens nor fords in that field so they are lucky to be there at all.

Tony's perfect Bathurst event:

Supertaxi 1000

konica supertaxi race

muscle car support race (group A and C cars stay home, minis not welcome in case they win)

saloon car support race

aussie race cars (aurion not welcome)

commodore cup if a 5th category is required.

what a pity for him that Fraud and Holdem aren't willing to put up millions a year for his circus any more.

I hate to see what the "car o the future" looks and performs like.

Oh,,,won't that be great,,,Nascar style cars running around on shit narrow street tracks. Shit I can't wait.

Take most of the aero out of them and make these robot drivers,,,DRIVE....

Cheers and thanks Cockren and Skaifie.

Neil.

Too right.

Can't take anything away from these cars though, as much as I hate the formula. My word they're fast considering what they are.... heavy, under tyred, shit aero etc....

11" slicks (280/680R17) doesn't count as undertyred in my book! They've been bleating about it long enough to convince people its small though... :P

they are faster than they should be on paper though. I guess that's what ~20 years of chassis and shock development money buys you... oh, and the best drivers in the country doesn't hurt either

sh$t, your completely right, i was under the impression the tyres were a lot narrower than that.

they still weigh around the 1200kg is that correct?

murphy's lap was also done when the engines had a much shorter shelf life so they could beef them right up and it didn't matter if they only lasted one race. the current cars have been tuned down to make the engine last more than one race, like F1. if you look at a majority of the lap records in F1 you will see that they were set back in 2004 and 2005 (about 8 of the records are).

i thought they weigh 1450kg

edit: my bad, 1355kg

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
