For anyone coming out to watch on the day, the Evo club and BMW club are having a lunchtime happy laps. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/443557-happy-laps-at-the-sprint-day-07-june-2014/

For reference, my first time with only 95awkw and only no handling mods fetched me 67 secs, all be it in a lighter car.

I think I should be around that mark, I'd like to get close to 60 but I'm not sure how feasible that is.

Probably not on street tires unless you are a gun driver, the R35's that i have seen do like 56-57 seconds, but never say never :)

Will be running RSR's on the day but an R compound would obviously be better. I think I lack the power to get really good times at QR..

Yer, im hoping for 62-63 on toyo R888's, but have you been to lakeside? Its so much better of a track, plus power doesn't make as much of a difference there, in saying that the sprint track and clubmans track at QR aren't to bad for low power cars either

Done lots of happy laps at LP and one sprint day that turned into a swim meet. I was running normal 595's that day so I think me best time was about a 79 or something.

thats not bad for wet lap on street tires, that would be a hairy out there near the cliffs and walls hahaha,

also i think there will be some really quick cars out there at qr next weekend, if you haven't heard of it gools evo should be out there, it runs like 52 seconds lol

Was very hairy, 595 are known for being total shit in the wet, some of our guys did some very good times though.

Hey Cadmoon, I know of 2 previous members in near stock 32 gtst's with suspension mods run around 63 to 65 seconds consistently. You should be able to do the same.

Now I have to do it or die trying.

    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
