Zoid's Gts Build

[djbugg]

Yeah was a good day for it. My mate Andrew ended up doing a 12.9 in the grey 33 and lifted 3/4 track because the drivers inner guard came out. So would have been 12.5/12.6ish full noise all the way. Seems plenty of practice with the starts would make a world of difference.

[zoidbergmerc]

yeah I saw that run, I was like wtf?!

I found this interesting thread on aero which I wanted for later so I'll leave it here http://www.timeattackforums.com/forums/aero-dynamics/1177-front-splitter-design-properties-2.html

[Mr. Untouchable]

i read that forum too, where i got a lot of ideas from when building my bar splitter/dam and choice of wing/boot bracings etc

[zoidbergmerc]

always one step ahead aren't you jack.

[Mr. Untouchable]

hahaha... yeah, No. lol. about half came from that, other half I shanghaied off Brads car.

I may not of read that thread well enough, didnt seem to go much into dive fins/canards and fin area and attack angles etc, so again will just mess around with those. will mount them so they can come on and off easily

[zoidbergmerc]

I was just going to make the first half parallel with the ground and the other half at a 7 degree angle from the dangle.

Alright, bit of an update with my car.

- I've got some new Just Jap Camber arms,

- got my LCAs modded so they're adjustable and rose jointed now,

- oil restrictors in

- new sump on the way

- installed Haltech IQ3 GPS logger dash as well as a few more sensors here and there.

- shed is fully stocked with tyres ready for Super Sprints on the 30th oct and the Round 5 of Tas Drift series on the 5th Nov.

I've got a new front bar too that I'm going to attempt to make a splitter for but will most likely be terribad.

Shooting for a 59 second lap around basky on the 30th assuming the weather is awesome

Saving up for some 18" wheels too, not really sure what to get though, I'm thinking D1R Lensos still because they're really cheap, but there is something about them that makes me not want to buy them...

Setup for sprints will be maybe soften up the rear end a little to stop me sliding around like an asshole

-4.5 degrees camber on the front, -1.2 on the rear (not adjustable yet); Hoping more camber on the front will help the mid corner understeer I've been getting.

Aiming high now and going for a 59 second lap around basky on my drift tyres. (still saving up for some semis)

Goals for drift include doing a whole run without spinning out haha. Just qualifying would be awesome.

Anyway, wish me luck and I hope too see you out there on the track with me

Edit: Shitty phone video of dash

[zoidbergmerc]

hmmm, they are nice, +17 would be a bit mexican on my 33 though wouldn't it?

[jangles]

nah shouldnt be in a 9.5, they would sit in on a 32gtr, so sit just out on ur whale i rekon!!

what are ur current width and offset?

[zoidbergmerc]

8.5 + 38 on the front and 9.5 +35 on the back

I think....

Those ones you linked me aren't even 18s!!

ffffff

I had a great weekend drifting.

Car went well, I drove pretty well too. Best drift ever on my 2nd Qualifying run. Actually Qualified but then I lost my first battle, oh well, who wins their first one! Still had a blast.

Here is a

of the battle.

Here are some pics

I had a little trouble with the ECU forgetting all of it's outputs though which was a bit of a troll. Turned off the Rev limiter, Turned off VCT and Turned off boost control so it was just running gate pressure, Lucky I had my laptop there so I setup the Limiter and Boost again but I didn't want to touch the VCT because it was a little scary, so mid range power suffered.

Didn't have any problems with oil control at all, got maybe 10mls in the catch can. Oil pressure stayed steady all day, only dipped when I spun out and let the revs drop below 1500rpm.

Added a baffle to the catch can too which worked very well. Also got my new rocker covers on now too, paint on them looks shit though because I'm an asshole and didn't do a very good job prepping them.

So yeah, all in all, a good day was had.

[zoidbergmerc]

Finally made the time to make the logging\dash software my bitch, I thought a few of you here would enjoy this

That's a screeny from my first qualifying lap at sprints the other day. The Blue line is Oil pressure and the Magenta line is Speed according to the GPS. You'll notice the oil pressure drops when I brake; the dash also logs G forces too and it said my Max pulled 2gs under brakes and 1.6gs around a corner.

Fun times playing with this software, it's a little clunky but I've got it pretty worked out now. Next video I make I should be able to have the on screen speed and RPM stuff displayed

[sav man]

Good to see your oil issues are sorted. The software is pretty clunky, but it can do some very smart things with math channels (calculate fuel burn rates etc), just takes time to learn it.

Your car looked a bit of a handfull. Seemed to be very snappy, how did it feel?

[zoidbergmerc]

car was feeling great, had heeeeeeaps of traction and really good hookup maybe a bit too much, but no power really made me sad, i've got it all back to normal now though i hope.

I just need to drive it more.
