also, what time?

Hehe making times could be a mistake with this crew. Nah if it's only you me and andrew on friday night then it will be easy. I'd say just whenever we are ready. Try to make it around 7 to 8 at Andrews. Will take you an hour to get to his from the CBD. But I guess we better ask Andrew if it's ok to meet at his first thou.

Should be a great weekend. I'm considering buying a video camera atm.

I've never met Crazy Frank before - I know he knows Emre so this will be good.

Apparently my best time at PI is only 1sec or so behind Crazy Franks best - will be fun trying to match him for sure.

Also - the weather looks awesome for the weekend. I was actually hoping it was going to have a couple of short showers like last time. Was fun playing with Scotsman in the rain! :)

Ok Boys and Girls - just got a call from Chris Kelly to say that the HSV day is now full again. Apparently we have our own group for the track that will also include an M3, an M5 and a couple of Porsches.

He was also like "Damn you guys are fast apparently. Most of the guys are around the mid 2 minute mark with only a few at the low 2 mins." Basically no one under 2 mins. :D

Sounds like a come on. He must think we're stupid if he wants us to turn up acting like world beaters, only to get paddled.

I'd prefer to be amongst some of the other makes to see what they are running like and where they are fast.

and so we can burn a few of them. Light it up out of the corner and still pull past them on the straight.

I guess we will have to wait and see. Dont they do a super sprint at the end? Wont this mix up the field, because I think it's all based on your times throughout the day.

I'll be happy to crack 2:00 on street rubber.

 

The super sprint wil be awesome if it's what I think it is.

Go the road rubber. Its actually more fun on road rubber because your car moves around and it teaches you to be a lot more delicate with the controls.

But as far as lap times go, around place like Phillip Island, i think there is even more then usual to be gained from grippy tyres. A sub 2:00 lap time would be awesome, going on the GTST/GTT from the last day, that would be about a 1:55 on sticky stuff :D

LOL. my car still aint ready so good thing i didnt make plans for this weekend. Sandown is looking the good though.

Enjoy ppl and dont forget we need plenty of photos

Ok, Anyone who is planning on having a meal at the house. There was no BBQ there, so I'm bringing one down that we can all use. So feel free to bring you BBQ stuff.

Andrew - what time do you want to see me and Duncan tonight?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.

      Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
