Probably has the best suspension to cope with the bumps as well.

SAU certainly does well at the top of the timesheets but not everyone can lap in the teens, this is my best effort from the day

Enjoyable day, if a bit rushed between sessions due to only 4 groups. Unfortunately the only breaks to proceedings were due to some offs.

There are plenty of us that won't ever be at the top of the time sheet, but we sure as hell have fun trying :)

Love the new camera angles JP.

The diff comes out tonight, I'm interested to see wtf is going on in there.

I would love to know aswell. Does it only happen when the diff got warm, or only on particular corners?

All corners, all laps.

A better way to explain it is...like a crazy monkey operting the handbrake as you apply power.

Sounds scary... at least you have some talent to fall back on. If they guy under my bonnet starts doing crazy things, I can't see it ending well

I've seen that occur before, Rich, the issue ended up being caused by the bearings on the spider gears in the diff seizing due to a lack of oil and the oil in the diff failing from overheating, so that when the diff was under load in a corner, the spiders moved out of alignment and wedged in the case, causing inconsistent load to go through the wheels.

Here is a few of my laps, first time @ Sandown can't wait to go back with some more grip and bigger balls!

And a harness! That's got some decent power.

Is it normal to use second gear that often or is that an sr20 thing...doesn't even get 5th down the straight.but still cracks 210.... :blink:

That would be the shit aussie diff ratio.

Drop a 4.11 in there and it will be magic.

Yes its ADM SR20 so final drive ratio is 3.692, 4th is maxing out @ 210-220kph. Due to brake issue I was also trying to be smoother from a bit earlier so might as well hold on to 4th along both straights.

Also boost/torque curve is not really ramping up till 3.5kr so don't like dropping below 4k unless you had a long corner exit where you have the choice for higher gear spooling up.

Looking at an LSD so just need to recheck speed/5th gear rpm at PI before determining if I go to hassle of changing a final drive, speedo reset, higher rpm cruise to non melbourne events etc, sits on just over 3000r @ 110kph

      Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
