ahh I see....well that was bound to happen, these cars are brilliant but can't be thrashed for ever.

Was it just the turbo? what b00st was it running at the time? Like Brody said, just sounds like a reason for an upgrade to me :cheers:

Boost spiked at 0.92 bar coming down the straight near redline about 190km/h. Just heard a pfft accompanied by a squeak and lost all boost.

I've got it up on bricks in the garage now. Struggling with a bizzare alan key bolt holding the dump pipe on.

Good to meet you Jase and also Tim. Hope you all had fun out there.

Did you kick some s2000 butt Mark?

Getting very close to the Porsche Cup lap record of 1.12.9614 :P

cops arse

there enters the 31

had the shits with that friggin s2000 being in the way. had him thru corners but on straight he nailed me.

was great to get out there.

go the 31!

firstly, was a good day. Jason, thanks for the ride mate. Very, very angry car. I've still got some tar melted onto my shoe!!

That guy in the porsche was a champ. It was only his second time at OP but he was having a good go. I went for a ride in it, and the sound of that thing was awesome. Plus it's nice to be in a car with full leather and the air con running that can still go that hard!

At the end of the day the guy in the black silvia asked me if I'd like to go for a ride with him too and it was a revelation. he was a great steerer and managed a 1.20 (from memory) with me in the car. All in a car that still has the standard SR20, standard turbo and standard intercooler.

In case anyone is wondering why I was hitching rides like a bitch, the reason is I cooked my fluid :D

First session went out with the instructor (Darryl Cullen?), second session just getting a feel for the track. Third session I went out and pushed a lot harder and after four laps the pedal just went to the floor :) It never recovered after that. I went out for another session, but it was terrible.

Mark, that S2000 was a menace. He was really quick down the straight, but wouldn't yeild anywhere else on the track. He would brake really early, coast up to a corner, then brake again and then take a really defensive line. You'd think he was trying to hang on to first place in a GP the way he was driving. In the silvia we got stuck behind him for half a lap, we were quicker (miles quicker) everywhere except down the straight. so we go to pass him down the straight and instead of lifting to let us claim the racing line for the kink he keeps into it. Graham (who brakes very late for the kink as it is) is stuck on the inside of the track, brakes and makes it through the kink but runs out of brakes for turn two and we went straight off. He did very well to keep it off the wall.

Mark, I think you take out the go hard or go home award. You must of driven nearly every session. My mate couldn't believe you were able to fit 10 spare rims and tyres in your car!

Yeah, I would have loved an in-car camera with us in the porshce behind you in the GTR. hahaha.

fark if I'd known they'd allow it I would have taken the DV cam in with me, but I just assumed they wouldn't allow hand held filming.

yeah, he sells them on the day. I bought one of my GTR. hmmm I dunno if he keeps the ones that don't sell on the day. I'll have a look at home tonight and see if I've got his card.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
