I got a 15second penalty on the back track for hitting cones, I think that would've cost me and apparently its a record for the biggest penalty on the Long wang. I messed up!

The skid pan was soo wet in the morning before it dried up, sort of like driving on a lake!!

I can't believe we still finished with such good results overall considering the weather in the morning.

That means Dane and I are 1 round each. Looks like the next one will be interesting!!

Wasnt a massively noticiable difference in the times between groups on the back track but there was a pretty big difference in times between groups on the skidpan.

For example between me and Scotsman -

Mines Datsun Run 1 -

Snowman - 43.12

Scotsman - 37.16

Schappy Run 1

Snowman - 37.28

Scotsman - 32.50

But...

LongWang Run 1

Snowman - 58.09

Scotsman - 59.13

Given that Chris should have killed me but we both ended up with 2 very bad runs where we both lost a lot of points so in the end it was very very close.

Infact just about everyone made a few mistakes this time - except for Christian in the forrester which is why he's finished in the top 10 (plus he drove that car well)

Also - we did use any results from the 2nd run of the Wang Busta because there was a significant number of cars that didnt get that run due to the storm.

Anyways - time for me to go find some dinner.

Juz - take that result out and the one where you stopped on the skidpan trying to restart the car and you'd have had a super result.

are we still able to see the times even though they dont count? my 2nd run on the back track was my quicker one

*sorry misread*, thought you meant the backtrack runs (longwang)

That was while adam was driving. So he probably would've been a fair bit higher in the ranks.

so dane beat juz over a technicality? weaksauce! :P

Although checkin out the results, I can't really give Adam (newton) shit for driving a girly car like I was at the start of the day.

w00t for lowest score and being the first ones home. We ran into the red MX5 on the way back as well, looking at the scores it looks like it suffered a similar predicament to us.

Snowman - so does that equal first mean I get 3rd? :P

And that's a pretty amazing finish for first place considering! :)

Pete - when do we get to see vids - I can't wait! :)

^^was a really good effort considering the wetness in the morning and the lack of opportunity to get some heat in his tyres

still... I'm off to buy semis tomorrow! :P

I got beaten by a 4 cylinder too ... eew

19 Justin Masters R33 GTST 356

Pretty happy with that for my first time out :D Didn't think I'd do that well, but I guess not hitting cones is the really important bit. Definitely plenty to work on for next one, and lots of room for improvement :P Will see if I can do some more skidpan work before the next deca. So much fun!!!

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
