Nice! Does it have new diff ratios or gear ratios? They look good for the track. Looks like he's almost at the top of 6th before braking for t1. With that gearing it looks like it would top out around 300 or even a bit under.

Great vid. :-)

270 is on the straight is serious - coming out of turn 12, your corner speed is phenomenal when i compare it to my bike...noticeable difference as i'd get 285 on the straight & your lap times are quicker! love it :)

Standard ratios but tyre circumference down from about 710 stock to 630 on the A050's

yeah I considered it might be the change in tyre radius but didn't think it would be that dramatic given the standard tyre has such a small sidewall vs a semi slick. still it works out very well ratio wise at EC.

If anyone missed this car @ WTAC then there is some news about.

Mark & Trent @ Mercury have been generous enough to offer bringing the car down for the SAU Nationals... AND...

Went one step further by offering the chance for 4 lucky people to get into the car for some Hot Laps @ the Track Day :worship:

Not a bad experience that one!

Raffle going to be running on the day - So get up there early and get yourself a ticket!

8 chances isn't bad odds actually given the amount of people will probably drive up in the morning (from Vic), so the odds of winning if you get up there early-ish are quite good.

I'll be buying 100 LOL :D

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
