I went to the Brock driver training day today and had a blast! (well that was until my car started pinging, so benny turned down the boost and it was sweet again)

I learnt so much I cant even begin to describe it, even though I dodnt learn heel toeing, I still did ok. The laps I do by myself on the track where completely exhilarating, my hands are still shaking from it, the only reason I pitted is cos my brakes were smoking.....

So Ill be out there helping fly the wang banner after I get my car a bit more track worthy - need brakes, radiator and fuel pump, maybe front and dumps (at very least) b4 I hit the track again

All I gotta say is........

BRING IT AWN AGAIN!!!!!

^^^Well least you didnt run out of fuel halfway through like I did biotch LOL, and Benny's take on the "Hot Lap," holy !((^@)&$)&!@#^)$&@)&$)!& :skull: :skull: :skull: :skull: that was when I realized what the car could do in the right hands! Needless to say all further power upgrades stay in the box until I learn how to drive the car properly as the engine stands now! :coffee:

Did brock have a drive of your car?

How many laps did you get to do???

actually the brock part of it was a rip off, basically he came out at lunch and did a speech, "life is like a box of chocalates blah blah blah" but he had good instructors, paul stokel, damien white, and a few others, laps wise as many as you want, you just have to pit every 3-4 laps

What have you done to your S15 Horus? Which track did you go to?

Any time run?

Cheers Dude,

VITZ

:D

basics dude,

FMIC, exhaust, clutch, flywheel, boost controller, pod filter, CAI, turbo timer, engine dampers, powerfc

track was sandown

Awesome! Some semi slicks and Dampers will work wonder!

I don't think you need too much of a cooling unless you are laping more then 10 laps at one time.

Try better coolant and engine oil, that help heaps!

As for the brakes, MUST!

Let me know when you are going out again, I'll come and join you.

Cheers,

VITZ

:D

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents   
    • Been a busy but productive day. Axle and hubs acquired. All fitted up after a bit of modifying. Need to sort out wider mudguards and running light reflector covers but other than that the trailer is gooood to go !!
