Got it done fast? It took me 8hrs solid sitting on the couch with my laptop yesterday to do that. Thats hardly fast!

One day the club will get a massive sponsor and we'll get those tricky timing systems they use for Dutton where eveything is done automatically into a laptop and people get their times SMS'd to them instantly.

And I can spend my Sunday sleeping off the hangover.

I want to particularly congratulate Team Purple - Fern & Geoff, you really did well out there. Was great to see you give both Snows and Chris a run for their money.

Excellent work.

Golgo would be proud :happy:

:sad: Can someone please email me the results, as these types of links don't work on my computer for some stupid reason.

Firefox downloaded it for me as some stupid ipb file or something. Renaming it to a PDF worked sweet, try that.

Not that I have any reason to look at the results ;)

You would think that in this day and age with so much electronic and computer WiFi stuff around cheap that it should not be to hard to come up with some ideas on how we could make this a reality.

Anyone like to think about this as I am sure its not too hard...

Thanks Dave!!

Looks like i was mis-informed by Sam about my time on the Long Wang ;)

Still was a great improvement from my results at the previous DECAs :biggrin:

In may i will be fitting my semi comps, all i need then is a less laggier turbo :)

Good work with the results snowy I wasnt expecting them till later in the week and the format is tops.

Well done to everyone elles involved. The day was a hell of a lot of fun and run profesionaly. I cant wait till the next one.

Cheers,

Adam

u did really well considering ur still getting used to the turbo

Guess I have to reply to my own post as no-one else looks like they are going to :huh:

OK - since asking the question, I have come up with the ANSWER!! At virtually NO COST!

Works like this -( I wont bother to patent this as it's just too obvious ) :laugh:

I will say I am going off a bit half cocked -so to speak, here - but the concept seems sound and the proof is not far away - stay tuned.

Yeah i'm confused how you get the times from the cars... ?

Getting the times from a laptop with bluetooth to phones probably wouldn' tbe to hard.

I just think an automated timing system would be way too much a pain in the ass to design and get working, because you'd have a lot of angry drivers if you say 'your times didn't get recorded that session because a bug in my code cause it to crash' haha

No we used them for Dutton. They were easy. Simply had a laptop at each starting gate where the competitors number was entered then off you went.

Basically they were timing gates similar to these:

But that might be an overkill. If we can punch times directly into a laptop rather than writting them down - and people then get the results straight away that would be pretty cool.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
