Using the rad cam hd for the outside view, and the new go pro for the inside view. I'm not sure why the vids were out of sync as its never happened before with the rad cam hd as its always brilliant. The only thing I can think of is that I recently put in high speed memory cars in both cameras. Anyone else have this problem?

Boys added an oil cooler for the front diff, added some ikeya suspension in, and deans making up some tie rod ends tomorrow. Also carbon blocked off the other side and made it look a little neater.

Paul Cahill made a little short film for us which was nice of him to do. We will have more footage next week to try another too.

Yeah sounds great, its not as loud as I thought it would be which is a good thing.

Late night work going on to have it ready for Friday winton practice, inlet temp is to high to quick so additional front bar whole cut out to help bring it down with a water spray kit also being installed. Front diff oil cooler pump fitted, and tie rod ends almost finished. Couldn't finish off the power steering, I ran around all morning organising the merc pump prior to work couple days ago in a rush to have it ready for the guys to hook up and sort. Just as I rocked up I went to place it on the bench and it slipped out of my hands and smashed the reservoir... Oops, so still waiting for delivery of a new reservoir to try and get it all working properly.

Car is looking great Steve!!!.

Hey danh thanks for the offer, guys are working on it now and hopefully the new one I picked up works. The sway bar I bought ages ago which was off my gtr33 track car I had bought years ago so not sure who made it sorry as it was already on. Had the guys transfer it over. Ill try and find out for you though.

So the boys added a intercooler spray system to try and get the inlet temp down. Motec controlled to kick in after full throttle for 1 sec and then off for 2 sec. Car has been now set up with motec throttle position so that will help a lot. Car is now getting aligned again with the additional weight and ikeya roll centre. Total weight now is 1278kg, not as light as initially thought as lots of little things have been added which add up. Tie rod ends are in, thanks for the info danh, ran out of time to order so dean made his own.

Picked up a new memory card so hoping the sound and video quality are back in sync for tomorrow's second shakedown at winton. So much to test again with little time till the event but its been great fun, can't wait to sleep again.

What intercooler are you using, brand and size?

[stevena]

What intercooler are you using, brand and size?

It's a pwr intercooler, 81mm thick I think, not sure on length but was a custom make for our power application.

Awesome day today at winton, we rocked up late so we could sleep in after a late night working on the car, so only had a few sessions. Power steering sorted this time which was great so dean could concentrate on driving. Had the first couple sessions on the hard compound tyres, boys played around with the suspension set up and sorted the handling out which is now driving like it should. Had a fuel reg issue for the day which didn't let us get consistent laps in. Guys changed the fuel filter which was slightly blocked and it still had the issue next session out so straight back in again. Guys checked the petrol tank and found the fuel lift pump in pieces and plastic broken bits on the bottom. Cleaned it out, put it back together, had enough time for one more session so the hankook soft tyres were put on, with boost set middish way. The car produced some great results which we were happy with as its a positive step forward for us. Dean reckons there's an easy 1-2 seconds in it with some more laps. Massive day and massive thanks to dean, brett, paul and andrew for all the hard work all day everyday to make this happen.

Ill post the vids soon.

They are great cores but do you believe it is suitable for the power you are producing?

Most run cores of 100mm at your power levels.

[stevena]

I was advised from dean that we need a bigger cooler at some stage but there won't be enough time to refabricate the cooler piping and costs involved. Trying other alternatives for now and if it doesn't work, after wtac it will be changed.

[stevena]

Our last track day at winton, phillip island testing tomorrow.

Good luck for testing! The thing looks and sounds like an animal in the clip from yesterday, love it - should be intense with the power wound up to 11!

The NZ non-GTR owners also coming over don't count?
