yeh the 14 PS lines take a different route so they are fairly easy on it.

yeh the cambers alright, I managed to pull AT LEAST 35mm on the guard from standard if not more on the weekend. so theres heaps more to straighten, if need be but ill leave that up to traction tyres later on. not fussed about times, just curious to punch it around on the straights and be able to properly use the power.

GTTR34, how much did your alignment cost if you dont mind me asking? seems we may have a similar setup from your post in the vic section with the exception of different coilovers.

Just picked up my new AO48's, they are worth 50kw at idle. :)

Might need a guard roll myself...

How ironic given yesterday's events.. If you had those tyres on we might have made it through the intersection!

Hey mate were did you get this from? Ive looked everywhere for one

ebay was the cheapest I could find @ $79 with free postage.

They sell in on their website but it costs $78 + $10 postage if I remember correctly

If you are going to Sandown with a loud exhaust don't expect to do many laps.

Where is the mike?

No issues here, my screamer is plumbed back. :P

Tony, what software would you use for Iphone4? And what mount is solid enough for track work? I might get in on this too. :)

I'm just copying Richo here :P

So Phone + racechrono then racechrono2avi. Then in conjuction with the GoPro hero 2 overlay the videos.

As for mounting i havent though about that. Are you allowed to have loose items in the glove box and in the compartment between the seats (the one with the lid so it won't be open)?

Was just thinking of chucking the phone and GPS in there :ph34r:

damn, since when are they cracking down so hard on this? I've been to sandown with full screamer in the s15 and not had an issue.... maybe i was just lucky on the day

I was hoping to make a solid windscreen mount for the iphone and use the onboard video, to save me buying the gopro straight away. Hopefully if the mount is good enough it shouldn't bounce around too much.

i dont think they are fussed with glove box, mine was full last time I went lol.

i'de prefer using the phone than the GoPro if you can solid mount it to the windshield somewhere as scott said.. its not like you need 1080p and for it to be water proof when realistically you are going to probably watch it on youtube at 680p lol

that said, im usually persuaded by wank factor and the fact that it can be mounted externally from the car - which would be my reason for using the gopro.

Cool cool

Wasn't sure to clean out my glove box or not.

Hrmm might test out the video recording capabilities on my Galaxy 3 and see if thats ok.

GoPro i just borrowed from Simon for the day to see how it is

you are meant to have nothing loose in GB or anywhere in cabin.

I have had it checked from time to time, not very often however.

I have my gps receiver race taped down so it down ot move, then h\phone in pocket so it not move around.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
