Here comes Marks march to the front in the last laps on soft tyres...COME ON OLD SON!!!!!

My crystal ball...Webber was on used softs for the second stint and Vettel on his fresh softs...that was the reason why they lasted 3-4 laps longer. When Webber pitted it seems he put hards on as they had no pace over what he took off. I just saw Vettel pit for softs so appears to be saving the hard for the last stint...Webz will hopefully have his brand new softs for the last stint... I HOPE

Yeh, just downloaded the Borla catalogue. Will check out the underside of my car with a tape measure and will try to get two 4" muffles under there and do a new dump pipe and 4" exhaust.

Well the DRS seems to be making it waaay too easy to pass

Sandown And Yes...real cars get booted for being too cool (err noisy)

HERE WE GO LADS...COME ON WEBZ...GET IT OFF THE LINE!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I installed the Plazman plenum and played with a few other things and sadly I cant get the response back It seems whilst others have seemed to get good results, I cant say the same. I did as close to back to back as you can...same dyno, same tuner and as you can see no real benefit. I still have the cams to try with E85, and also have a larger exhaust housing that will let me run more boost...but need to spend some time enjoying it on the track rather then leaving it in the shop waiting to be worked on

Curious to see how you go. I cant help you with the injector issue, but interested to see the before / after results, and whether you had to change the cam gears/timing etc?

Fancy have a noise limit on a race track So seems like I am going to go back to my old tune and plumbed back gate Fancy losing power, and sounding shit Oh well, better then being black flagged in the first session of the day and wasting $180

Was good to be back out there, even if after my first exploratory session I was pinged for noise. So didnt even get to put a lap in I did go out in the wet in the afternoon but was forced to shift at 3,400rpm due to noise But got to put som eheat cycles into the new brakes Oh well. I had no idea where the correct braking points were and was just trying to bed the brakes. So much harder to pick the braking points compared to Winton. Once they were up to temp I put in two laps to really jump hard on the brakes to get them nice and hot then backed off to let everything cool down. Was shocked that I did a 1:25 flat. The old girl seems to drive about the same despite the dyno showing I have lost a fair wack of mid range. I reckon if i didnt get pinged for noise it would have been fun chasing the Supra In all it was a trying day, picked up a puncture from a screw in the carpark, Radcam farked up again and didnt get a 90% tilt at a lap....but I think the brakes passed their test and I got some seat time which is drastically needed.

Quali Uncle Duncan. Webber can get a result from the front row. Albeit 0.4sec off Vettel

2nd post

Need these pipes gone. Will also be getting rid of the 120deg bend pipe

Tomei Rb24 pistons still for sale

Forgot all about these...still have them

I am yet to see a caliper that fits a 376mm Supercar rotor inside an R34 GTR wheel. Generally the 365mm fit inside the GTR rims...will be interesting to see if it all fits. More then anything I want pics with the new wheels on

Ah...so you need two pairs of fronts

So, car fuelled up, camera in and ready for my first Sandown since 2007. Cant see me going anywhere near my old 1:23.1 with the car the way it is....but will be good to just get some kms on it and hopefully get a sub 1:26 Pumped...pumped, pumped.

If you want a cheap, good quality 18 x 8" wheel that doesnt break the bank, look at the 350Z wheels. I think they look good and are +30. Well thats what I found when hunting around a few weeks ago, seems a great deal. They are only about $500 a set

They are accepting entries on the day..I just need my car

Yeh I am in . I need to get my car off Chris as I have not been able to get out there after work and pick it up. So may miss Sandown this weekend, but keen to make a weekend of it and heading up Saturday afternoon for a quiet night in Wang or Benalia.

Fixed!

Me too. But i will take 20k and will let you do skidz in my car Best of luck securing sponsors...imagine it will be pretty tough work

All the people on about torque etc, at what rpm it makes power etc...all fair comments and points. The fact that the RB20 has such a short stroke means they have very low loads and forces on bearings so you can rev the hell out of them and the piston speeds and loads are not that high so the rpm issue is mostly with the heads. The R31 chassis wise was not a huge improvement in performance over the DR30, in fact it was heavier and took some time to come to terms with the extra weight in Grp A speak. The area where the R31 improved greatly over the DR30 was the RB20 over the FJ20. Typically the FJ20 is far more popular for performance, but with regards to usable performance and tracability the RB20 was seen as an improvement over the FJ20 for racing. The more linear power band and tractability made it the better race engine, especially in the wet where the FJ20 was like the Sierra with its on/off power delivery. So those hanging crap on the RB20 for being laggy, not spooling big turbos etc may be true. But it also means that in a rwd car it wont fry tyres if you are really concerned about going quick. I remember all too often following R34 GTT and R33 GTS25ts on circuits where I just plant my thing and get great power down and traction whilst all the RB25 and SR20 Silvia lads are fryign tyres with wheelspin losing that jump out of the corner. So there are trade offs where I wish I could have a bit more at light throttle and lower revs...but its all a trade off.

Best bet is to look through some of the R32 build threads. Many of your answers will be in there. With regards to the dash I think in R32s then desh sends the ECU to the speed signal as the speed input is into the back of the dash
