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

No this won't be commented on in public, seeing no-one in my family has been told of the incident ;)

    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
