Last time i was out circuit racing.(January hot summers day.)

Circuit Name-Wakefield Park

Time-1:14.3

Car:R33GTST

Modifycations:-

Engine/Power mods-Full zorst,13psi,pfc,gtr pump,adj fpr & pannel filter=185rwkw

Suspension-Whiteline handeling kit,HKS hyper D shocks (Fronts rooted rears ok) & strut braces front and rear.

Brakes-Rotors stock with rb74 pads and castrol response super dot 4.Though i have my reservations about the ones i was given.They sit 5mm down from the outer edge of the rotor.Which doesnt seem normal to me but was assured that it was.

Tyres-Near new 17inch Federal 595SS street tyres.

djr81:

put somemore air in? I would have assumed that I had too much air in, more like 35psi cold, which i know is way too much but i didnt have a tyre pressure gauge on me to adjust it and it was my first time out so i was concentrating more on learning the track :cheers:

it pulls like a teenager more like at 5000rpm up, :S haha

Snowman:

I definitely take turn 1 and 2 in 3rd, those I feel I am doing quite ok.

Thinking about it, I now realise i take the flip flop in 4th :D at least i know what to do next time haha

Im not sure which is turn 8,9 or 10, but looking at the winton circuit map, I need more practice with the Northern BM corner. I am probably taking it too hot since I experience that vibrating understeer there quite often and have understeered into the gravel more than once heh.

Another problem area is the Advanced Petroleum corner and the one right after that before the Kitome straight. What gears do i take those in? Is the Advanced Petroleum corner turn 8 (the one you recommended to take in 2nd)? I find if i take the one before the Kitome straight (9?) in 3rd i am a bit off full boost going onto the straight. Are those the corners 8 and 9 you are referring to?

Thanks to you guys for the tips and recommendations, still very new to this. As snowman said, just need more practice (and a tyre pressure gauge!) ;)

Nothern Corner (turn 8) is definitely 2nd. What you don't realise when you are on the track is that the corner is infact more than 90degs. So the apex is actually a little behind the corner. When you first start out you tend to visit gravel a lot in that turn mostly because you'll be turning in too early as you'll be treating it as a 90 deg turn. Thats something you can learn following some other people around (that know where they are going).

Advanced petroluem (9) and then the following one onto the straight are the ones that are driver dependant. I know in Scotsmans R33 GTR which has the same gearing as you that he takes those in 2nd and I take them in 3rd.

Mind you this was the last time we were both at Winton so maybe it's best not to listen to us....

hi all

wakefield park 1:06.3

eastern creek 1:45.5

oran gp 1:17.0

IPRA R32GTR A048 tyres 2 x 27mm restrictors

good to see you on here Dave!

Richard here, with the grey 32 GTR. the guy that parks in front of your house when visiting my mate in annandale!

I am not involved with any cars in the state champs anymore but will definately come out and say hello at the next EC or Oran round. Good to see you doing well. What is happening with your under 2 litre car? We all have a soft spot for that one. especially as it sounds like it's going to suck someone in as it's going down the straight.

Dodgy tyres? Hell yeh. Why not. Would feel like 1:32s :(

Apologies to those that have posted up the last two pages or so. By this weekend the Top 10s will all be sorted.

Right now, im fighting dial up so easier to do at work. Also fighting the urge to get truly, never before seen in the history of modern science drunk...cause that will mean im too blind to see the turn 6 renovations from Sandown. Maybe i can send the vid in to Funniest Home Video and win some white goods :rolleyes:

Dodgy tyres?

Oh yeah :D I just got back from overseas and didn't get a chance to change the tyres, so I was running super worn out ones from last time I hit the track.

That and the brake pads I was planning to change wore out completely.

lol...If i ran the 1:23.1 in the previous session. I was so going to run deep into the 1:22s. From there is was going to need more suspension, but i wanted a 1:22 goddammit!

Yeh, its interesting to look at the progression of lap times as ppl have got more experience.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
