Like Martin said, Iron Chef corner (TM pending, thanks J-Rad) is like glass, I wish I'd spun the other way, then I'd have only lost my dignity :(

I found it interesting that I spun the R33 GTR twice today, both times on warm up laps when I was not pushing the car.

I didn't drive very aggressively today at all - didn't attack turn 1 until the last session and never really pushed it through the Esses. I think the events of yesterday added to my caution.

Scruitineering is always an issue, i agree,

There is my point :)

I think the biggest revelation has been Australian drift #2 driver Simon P switching over to Time Attack level format from Drift. He is super competitive at the pointy end - but he did spend a lot of time developing the car for the new format. He also nearly binned it in the fence on Iron Chef corner :turned:

Its actually a straight.....but hey who cares :)

In a slow car it is, not a quick one :P

Simon P was fantastic to watch yesterday, as was Brad Trenwith who reeled off a low 1:12 :O

In better news, I'm pleased to report that my next project will be a car built entirely from the plastic used on an R33 GT-R coolant overflow bottle, which somehow managed to survive the hit without any damage...

seeing no-one in my family has been told of the incident ;)

Not even the wife?

You're brave..your name hector with a last name you can't pronouce now??

:P

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
