Awesome video man, I have to get one of those cameras for my car quality was actually better then I expected.

Do you have any info on where to get the camera and how much they cost? Are they easy to setup and can they be moved from car to car?

The cheapest place for GoPros I've found is here: http://www.camerastore.com.au/

The video quality on their new ones is awesome, click the 1080p button in YouTube and you'll see what I mean. The audio quality isn't very good, but it's a huge improvement over their old ones. The 2nd camera looking into the car is an old GoPro Wide. They're pretty crap.

They have 2 buttons so they're easy to use, and the Motorsports Hero version comes with a heap of mounts including a suction cup. I was using a Ram roll bar mount combined with a GoPro tripod adaptor for the main camera, and a GoPro roll bar mount for the 2nd camera.

It's only happy laps, I wouldn't be worried about that. Come to a sprint day or something then go flat through the kink ;)

+11ty. Happy laps is not the time to be finding the braking points, or taking the kink flat...

Dont tempt me. I can see why they put on Happy Laps. It is to tempt people to go to the next level... I SO want to do that.

But i think i will have to wait until my car isnt my daily.

So hurry up and get it all Kleeman'd up already :P I'll have a new Turbroz fitted once I land a new job and even my fat ass will be faster than you.

Lol.

I'm probably not going to.

I'll likely do this:

This:

And call it a day.

That will get it up just over 400. I've heard too many horror stories involving SC 55 engines.

Next car I buy I'll just make sure doesn't NEED any go-fast bits!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.

      As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
