last night i did a 52.754.

couldn't be bothered doing it anymore..... until someone goes faster. now i'm going to see what the fastest lap i can do is. my current best in the skyline is a 47 second lap. that was the second lap i did on qualifying slicks. only did 2 laps to get that, and it was with all the settings i used on the sports tyres.

then i cracked out the polyphony and did a 44 second lap. then had a look at the records and my best is a low 42. going to try to get into the 41's... then the 40's, then the 39's.

yeah that last corner is a killer when you're on a good lap - ahead of the ghost car and only 1 coner to go... My normal mistake when trying too hard is to leave the braking slightly too late and just run off the outside of the turn...

umm, I've done a 52.693 :rolleyes:

well i see your 52.693 and raise you with a 52.529. then i use my special ability and get a 52.174. i'm on fire tonight. the 52.174 seem like a slow lap cause i wasn't all over the place. did finish it on the grass though. got on the gas a bit early out of the last corner.

don't think i'll be able to get any better than that, but going to try!!

and i did beat it!!! a 52.033, followed up straight away by a 51.474.

in a r34 gtr (its bayside blue, maybe if it was red i could go faster) on soft street tyres, no nos, but with a wing.

turns out i had been hitting the limiter in 6th down the back straight. i had been too busy looking for the braking marker that i hadn't noticed.

i have just been on fire all night. i had done heaps of 52.8 and 52.9's. over the past few days i have probably done over 300 laps. tonight alone i have done at least 80 laps. i think that is all i can do. i really don't tink i can go any faster on street tyres with that car.

also in turn 3, brake earlier so you accelerate through the corner rather than out of it. you should come out of it in the middle of the road, not out on the ripple strip. this gives you a better run into turn 4 and you don't slide so much. i use the fast in, fast out technique for cornering. i don't take nice even bends. i turn them into double apex turns. you end up with higher tops speeds at the end of the straights.

also if i don't get a good run out of the last corner, i don't bother trying for the next lap. i'll putt around and focus on getting the best run out of the last corner so that i cross the start line as fast as posible.

;) that's too good for me! I can't see me going much faster. I did a 52.625 last night before going out, and run pretty consistently in the high 52s now unless I have an off, but I can't see myself getting anywhere near those times. then again, most laps I ever do before I've had enough is around 10-15. I don't have your powers of concentration - or patience?

mind posting your suspension, gearing and LSD settings? I wouldn't mind having a run with your setup to see if I can go faster.

will do tonight.

i know a few off the top of my head. the lsd is stock, downforce is set to max, gear ratios are stock, but the one that shortens or lengthens them is set to about 9, suspension is the stock racing suspension setup, no brake controller, traction contol set to 1, understeer set to 7, oversteer set to 3. this makes you go into the corner sideways, then you just gently get on the gas and drive out of the corner well.

also think about how your line out of that corner affects the next corner. this is only really important for corners 2-3 and 3-4.

that 51 second lap was a freak lap. i don't think i could do it again. i could do the low 52's again, but not the 51.

i also found switching off the ghost helps a little, simply for the fact that if you get a slightly worse run out of one corner it blocks your vision of the braking spots.

I tried that last night - I was way slower than my setup with diffs and suspension tuned/setup for the car. The traction control (or one of them) interferes too much with getting power down and it can't match my 52.625 ghost car out of corners no matter what I try. It doesn't seem to brake as well either - seems like the understeer control interferes with braking as you turn into a corner, which is a real problem for the final RH sweeper. I have to brake a fair bit earlier than my other setup just to stay on the road there. That 51.474 (and even the 52.0 and 52.1) times you set are very impresssive. do you do any online racing with one of the granturismo boards? I used to race online with granturismobynumbers - won a few too.

no. maybe i should.

as for the traction control, i found that with it off i was getting too much sideways sliding accelerating out of corners. will have another go without it tonight if the missus doesn't get up me.

Gave the game another crack tonight after a long absence -

Went from:

- 52.285

- to 52.242

- to 52.097

- then 51.889

On street tyres (no driving aids except traction control set to 2) & Wing.

Consistantly doing low 52's - hopefully i can break that record of yours soon, mad082 :w00t:

Steve.

also the other regulation is that it must be a road car, not race car. and it must be japanese.

No probs (my 45.999 was done with the r34 road car: R34 M-Spec Nur '02, but with racing soft tyres)....gave it another crack last night with the same car, just street soft tyres, wing, no NOS and some traciton control aid -

Best result: 51.468 :(

Should be able to squeeze a bit more off that tonight :(

Cheers,

Steve.

you will have to post up you suspension settings, and other mods.

OK, no problems - These are my only modifications to the road car (R34 GT-R M-spec Nur '02):

-Power: 874kw

-Tyre Type: Sports

F: sports/soft

R: sports/soft

-Turbine Kit: Original

-Brakes: Racing Brakes

-Racing Large Intercooler

-Driving Aids: TCS Controller = 2, the rest are 0

-Full cust. gearbox: auto settings set to 9. No other ratio changes

-SUSPENSION SETTINGS: Original Suspension

spring rate: F 11.0 R 13.0

ride height: F 72 R 72

damper: F 7 R 8

damper B: F - R -

damper R: F - R -

camber angle: F 5.0 R 3.0

toe: F 0 R 0

stabiliser: F 4 R 4

-WING:

downforce: F 30 R 28

These settings work well with my driving style - See how it goes for you.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
