I found out today that the Hillclimb has been cancelled due to the council stuffing around instead of fixing the bloody track! It is now a 1/4 mile drag on the main straight. Just wondering if anyone is still entering this event?

This is the definition I got from the BLCC

The Flying 1/5th is run down Conrod Straight from just below BLCC Clubrooms and stops short of the Chase. It is just a straight run timed for 1/5th of a km - single car at a time

Yea with the change of events I will be competing in the Supersprint on the Saturday only. Not particularly interested in the flying 1/5th. Is a shame about the hill climb, but thanks to the council deciding they want to start repairs on both sections of the track at the same time, BLCC can unfortunately not run either of the optional hill climbs.

See you guys at the supersprint!

Yeah I guess the club is trying to make the best of a bad situation that is beyond their control. A shame they are the ones that will loose out on costs/entrants due to council's decision

Damn didnt know this was a drift event :P That second video getting loose through the chase that is a big balls moment and a great save. Would have loved to see the external video of that :P

The final run we had the track was so slippery, as you can see from my video haha. It kicked out with no real acceleration or correction and was just sliding whilst in fifth gear, all I could do was steer and hope it grabbed traction before the next turn lol. Luckily I'm used to sliding, so I was able to keep myself on the track.

I don't have any outside footage of this run unfortunately because every had their cameras away with the rain. I do have GoPro footage from on the side of the car which I might upload later, and I do have footage from the other vehicle at the time but all you can see is water spray lol.

Here is an outside view video though, I was pushing too hard out of the chase and the car got a bit sideways (theme of the day for me lol) which you can see right at the end of the video.

haha good car control, and it's always great to hear an rb boosting down conrod.

you should check out the recent CAMS bulletin on cameras, they no longer allow anything to be helmet mounted....

yep, i dont know how he got away with it, but i had the gopro adapter stuck on my helmet and he even said that was a no go anymore( even tho i told him im not using the camera)... he said he will let it go this time!... something about the glue stuck to the helmet and will damage it etc

Mines mounted on the cage now.

Thanks :)

I do recall hearing something about this but have never been pulled up about it since hearing about it

They didn't say anything to me about the adaptor on my helmet or having the camera on my helmet all day. Back at the Round 1 and 2 of the hill climb championships at the start of this year the officials were a bti funny about it but the official rules had not come in yet at that stage. I haven't had anything said to me since then.

Probably because of Schuey. I'm guessing the go pro/mount concentrates the stress into a point on the helmet and doesn't let it spread the load properly.

AFAIK schumaker's camera was not actually an issue, there has been plenty of comment/articles/etc but no actual statement from either investigators or doctors blaming the camera. I think Mythbusters need to take that one on.

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
