No Crust Racing

Further to this, pulled the rotors to have them machined. Noticed that the side that had worse pad wear also has noticable more rotor wear, to the point where the slots on the inner side of the rotor looked fairly wiped and may not come good with a machine. Still sound like a heat issue? I couldn't detect any deflection in the wheel bearing but I note the tie rod ends dust boots are split.

Whoops "hour"

Heading off in an our or so actually

Nah this one has some answers in it, the other double ups are where the bs is lol

I guess im spoilt, Winton is only an hour away and 3hrs gets me to sandown/Calder plus DECA in shepparton is 2hrs, Wakefield around 3 in the other direction. I'm in Albury Wodonga mind you. As for port/Newcastle Wakefield is a bit far to go, EC is a few hours from Port, less from Newcastle and I wouldn't go any closer to Sydney. 2hrs is bearable. The hill climbs all look really short. I've only dug up footage of the lighthouse point one and it barely had 2 decent corners.

Whoops was getting a proxy error using iPhone and it didn't show as posted, can a mod please clean these up.

What options do sprint type cars have up this way for events besides heading to Eastern Creek? I read there's a couple I short hill climbs, one around Telegraph point north of Port Maquarie and another at Raleigh Raceway. I see Raleigh also runs a drift series but I'm not into that. I've read that Newcastle could be getting a track too as there's some planning talk over in the Motorsport section. Is there anything else up this way? I'm enjoying my holiday up here and just seeing what options there are for my Sil as EC is a bit of a drive, as are QLD tracks. Also, any club level rally up here?

I've cut slots into the inner guard on the right side as well as I noticed that difference. However the right side has my oil cooler so hot air could be flowing through. Might be worth making up some basic deflectors for the LCAs

You're just going a crap load faster than me then, that's a lot of roll. I thought the tyre wall strength wasn't bad. Good luck at Winton Be interesting to see what I think of these tyres with a bit more power on board.

You must run more camber than me, I don't get wear like that on the edges my tread wear looks a fair bit different, I also get the rubber balling up on the tread block edge. I also run about 32 hot on the RS-R. I'm only running -2.5 front and -1.5 rear. I might have to dial in some more when I finish the turbo swap an can carry some greater entry speeds.

What's your reasoning behind them lasting longer? tread wear rating?

http://www.sg-motorsport.com/ details on the front page Maybe not a lot of you guys know of SG, I'm certainly not a customer or anything, but I've been a fan of Sasha's racing stories for quite a while and followed the development of his S14 (especially the aero) before he moved onto the 350z. Does anyone know of a workshop that does write ups of their escapades in a similar way? Weird as it might sound I enjoy reading about how club level/semi-pro type teams go at track days.

Afternoon gents, some clarification on some tuning concepts would be greatly appreciated and NS is giving me nothing at this point, allow me to elaborate. CA18DET Currently has -Stock fuel system, injectors, pump etc (I realise I need to upgrade these to go further, see below). - T25G, 13psi - Basic supporting mods, oil cooler, fmic etc - Used primarily for track duties - SAFC II Adding fuel from boost transition point onwards, around 16-17% - AEM Wideband installed - Standard ECU (going of previous receipts it said "tuned" when the previous turbo was repaired, only thing I note is it's running 7 deg base timing instead of 10 - checked with timing light after noting CAS was clocked). Last dyno sheet was approx 164rwkw at around 12:1 afr. Now I'm in the process of fitting a GT2560/S15 BB T28 which will obviously flow a lot more air at 14 or so psi than the T25G and will fit some GT-R injectors and possibly a bigger AFM as I expect the standard items to be approaching the limits. Am I right in my reading that adding fuel in the SAFC retards timing and removing it advances timing? So at the moment my timing will be less than stock as the SAFC is telling the ECU that it's got higher load than it really does to get more fuel, in turn retarding timing? Plus it's got retarded base timing - putting it back to standard 10 deg seemed to make it knock (SAFC knock reading using factory sensor). If that's the case, putting in larger injectors/fuel pump will require me to add less fuel to get the right AFRs so timing will be closer to "normal" or do I have it backwards? With timing close to factory, will that be my biggest risk of knock or will increased cylinder pressures from more boost be a more likely culprit? I realise I can go Nistune etc and have full control over timing, I'm only interested in what will occur with the SAFC at this point, as an aside SAFC II has the agbility to transalte between RB25/Z32 etc AFM to CA ecu, manual shows the values required. Cheers

What sort of dollar are we talking for those? I just switched to RSRs from some old semis and ran 3 tenths faster which impressed me no end. I got these for $640 delivered, 235/R17s (On a Silvia so might be a bit small for a 33 with grunt).

I see, well if the sensor is what has let go you can't really blame AEM for that as Bosch make them. Hope it gets sorted ASAP though.

Ahh, I wonder if this is the same issue the Innovates have and the problem lies with the Bosch sensor itself and not the control units? I'd imagine you'd have no issues with warranty.

Sorry just getting back to this, but it seems you have it figured out anyway. So you have confirmed it's a bad sensor? Which kit did you buy?

Well get cracking - pun definitely intended...

Welcome back Matty! Interesting view, what are you basing that off? Garrett themselves recommend one to keep oil pressure to below 45 or so psi at max engine speeds http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/tech_center/turbo_optimization.html#Oil Supply & Drain I definitely have oil pressure higher than that on the track, and usually see 90+psi on a cold start, granted that's at the oil filter relocator sender. Consensus seems to be that if they smoke on idle, oil pressure is the reason (ensuring PCV is operating correctly and that the CHRA is at the correct angle relative to the road. I think for the cost I'll run one.

Cheers for that.

It came with a braided hose so not sure what the factory one had in it =\ What's the 1-1.5mm suggestion based off?

Morning Gents, I'm having no luck over at NS and tend to get better responses here, even for the Silvia 0_0 I'm in the process of fitting a JDM T28BB to the CA and I've read a bit about the need for an oil restrictor to avoid having the oil seals weep under the sustained high pressure. What size restrictor is needed? I've got a braided oil feed for it but I'm unsure of what size hose it is, as I understand this dictates the restrictor required. How do I tell? Cheers
