My HPI R34GTR shell arrived, and i've just finished (kinda) painting it here at work. (nightshift) I'm not sure it'll be ready for Sunday, cause there's some funky stuff that I want to do to it first =-]

First post updated!

Nah... if you're really lucky, and you are willing to pay, you MIGHT find an R33GTR shell.

I can't even find diecast models of a series 2 r33, let alone a body shell for a 1:10 RC =-[

ill check my car tonight (i think i brock a servo) but i should be going either way

i got these directions of whereis.com is there anywhere where i cant pay the toll by cash?

ill post up some pics of my buggy later

thanks mr 32

I'm wondering if anyone is interested in meeting for an RC drift day (or few hours) sometime?

CONFIRMED FOR SUNDAY 19th , 12PM at Curl Curl Netball Courts:

Me - HPI Sprint

Paul - Electric buggy

Steve-o -

Mr 32 - Nitro buggy

Kaza - Nitro w/Skyline shell

Satanic - Prolly filming for us!

qwrx - Electric w/WRX shell

If you guys are still looking for some where to race, there is a basketball court right near my house(would suit...), its hardly ever used...

Can do it sunday during the day?

Few guys around here are really into it!

pm me if your still looking!

Edited by DANSR33

Thanks, Dan! Maybe next meet, depending on where your house and this... basket-ball house?... is.

Mr 32: it's a drift day, so i'd recommend you bring your drifter instead of the buggy... unless you're drifting the buggy? (few are!)

i was planning on bring the buggy, but never drifted the buggy before but i made my suspension very stiff and will change my super soft road tyres for something a bit harder. i dont think the mini z has enough power to drift on paved areas (just look at its size) but i will prob bring it along for a laugh.

all the nitro cars, what nitro % do you run?

PS. does any one have some spare body clips i could borrow?thanks mr 32

OOps! I thought that was a 1:10 scale! All you need to drift easily is PVC tyres. I.E, tyres that are cut from a pvc pipe. If you can find PVC the right size, your mini z could drift no worries! Is it 4wd??

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
