I think Duncan does most of Wakefield in 3rd gear. Obviously uo hit 4th on the straight...but i actually shift up from 3rd to 4th a lot more then Duncan, where he just holds 3rd gear.  Well that was in the std R33 GTS25T anyway.

And you the king of the rev limiter. Musta been someone elses car :P

yeah, got to give the limiter some love everynow and then, just to make sure it's still working...lol

snowy, i think OP south circuit would be mostly 3 and 4th in a mildish GTR.

There is footage of me spearing off at turn 2 of wakefield as i quickly pluck what i think is 4th gear trying to do a fancy 5-4 then 4-3 down change...it was actually 2nd ...poor RB20 ;)

It was funny, "this one time, at Wakfield.... i put my car in the mud/dirt that often at the end of the day i had tuffs of grass in the wipers, under the rear boot spoiler" It was a wet day at Wakefield, and with the exception of Duncan and me, there was only one other car on the track (a ute)

It was a good opportunity to lose the car on every corner and convince myself that i am a hack driver and sure as sh1t no drifter :)

Might come down with pom-poms and all and cheer you guys on since its less than an hour away when they finally chose a date... nothing better than seeing skylines give it to everything else... or suck due to crappy drivers... or just blow up, any of the above options work for me though :huh:

Someone mentioned handicap. I can see it now they are going to make me drag an anchor.

Gears at Wakefield. I used to change to fifth down straigth but now on rev limiter just after finish line and hold it then brake just before the kink. V8 Supercars brake well before the kink.

I do ten changes and gear box with big power and high revs is problem sometimes, and miss gears also. Phitzner Dog Box on the list as probably a second or more faster in time with this alone as much faster changing, especially changing up.

Email I received from organiser is extended until end of Feb. Wondering why if they have 400 plus entries as someone said?

Sooo...the date hasn't even been set yet? Good;that gives me time to get my huge sticker kit and 10 inch lowering gear for the 120Y so I'm at least a shot for Hair Salon Sir-Cut Battle Frenzy OMG-thats-fulsik competition...

That was me. I was just hoping there would be handicaps so I have a chance.

It doesn't matter now as snowman mentioned that there will be two classes for race cars and street cars so I doubt you would have to carry weight.

Otherwise to make your car do similar times to mine you would have to put roof racks on your car and strap another car to your roof.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
