i carry a shit load more speed through the corners as i dont slide all over the place like the lighter people...

no need for brakes, just lean forward and turn into the corner... bobs ya uncle im faster through the twists and faster out of the corners...

as you know go karts take time to build speed, so the faster you come out of a corner the better...

that all said, i came 1st for the day so who cares...

also i remember beating one "shanef" at kingston park a few years back in the rain... :thumbsup:

wasnt me brother, i didnt make that one! (was stuck at work, i remeber it clearly caus i spat the dummy caus i had to do overtime that nite :D)

yeah i agree, they keep telling me they are waiting for the ecu to arrive from haltech, so f**ks me,

how ya feeling col? still sore?

have u f**ken taken ur car to allstar??????????????

wasnt me brother, i didnt make that one! (was stuck at work, i remeber it clearly caus i spat the dummy caus i had to do overtime that nite :thumbsup:)

Must have been dangerous dave then... :D

I remember getting soaked to the bone... Karen and Marc were there, I think Karen got a $2 rain suit which leaked in like 3 seconds :(

yeah i did shane, i regret going to a SAU recommended mechanic sponsor thingy lol

As I said Bryn I trust no one... I do all my own work (except tuning)...

They all do bad things from time to time, its just some workshops do more bad things often :thumbsup:

lakeside looked great this morning... :)

Saw Geoff bashing up the track and saw Chris waving a flag or two...

Watched a blue wrx take a corner too hot and end up flipping 180 degres right in front of the integra...

The VE Calais 6 litre auto was going nuts, was really supprised how weel it went up against the GTR's...

Watched the yellow R33 being pressured by the white RX7 to the point where the R33 left the track and was very lucky not to smack the wall...

Was allot of speed coming down onto the straight out of that last corner, the track is faster than i can remember... :)

Cant wait to see the picks... Also does anyone know the contact details for the track as I was speaking with one of the maintainance guys and they have a skidpan up the back of the circuit, so maby we can go to skidpan here and save a 2 hour drive to Gympie???

Lakeside was fun. Just needed my semis to pull a few seconds of lap time out. The street rubber sucked across the face of the corners and I just had to use the throttle to get attitude through the corners. The somewhat overdone HSV with all the stickering just had the mid corner speed on me with his race rubber so I had to let him through. No point spoiling his fun today but with semis I would have had him on toast, likely I'd have had to step up to group one. Can't wait to the the 26/30 powered track barge out there to scare a few folks.

That yellow 33, for all it's slicks and poop was an absolute piece of junk. Way too low to handle properly and very poorly presented but what a wanker. He was trying to take up about 4 car spaces along the pit exit and trying to force everyone to go right out around his spot by an extra car length so he could just drive along and put it on blocks so he could install yet more cable ties to hold it together. Not surprised he was too arrogant to get out of the way to let a faster car through and cracked under the pressure.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
