I'm happy with my results 13th and in the top 5 rwds again, but what happened to Ryan he's normally waving the flag at the top. Did you have car troubles mate?

Yeah what was the verdict with the full slicks? Help or hinderence? Did they get warm enough to grip?

Bris,

Getting power down = Dont get out of 1st. In second I tend to nail it more because there's not as much response and I don't want to get caught off the ball.

If you are in 1st, okay you will hit the limiter a bit (something we are both accustomed to) but you always have heaps on tap ready for action.

DON'T GET OUT OF FIRST!

Whatever you do don't tell Mr Brisby to not to use the limiter, it sound so good and he never mind giving it :D .

LOL...so how do you go so quick on the back track? :laugh: I for the life of me couldnt use the throttle at all on the Long Wang. Even using 3rd gear it was hairy with wheelspin. Good fun and good for scaring passengers but it sure sux when you are actually trying to carry some corner speed :D

Also i'd like to say the skill sets at these things has stepped up a level from everyone, but from what I saw the standout performances were from:

Adz and Mav to get the fastest time on an event.

Gareth for having the hardest launching car of the day and some very consistant times.

Geoff Beable - More than a second quicker than everyone else on the long wang. Amazing!

Pete - Shows what happens when your not more worried about filming yourself.

Craig Moor - A big step up in pace from other DECA's

Snowy - About time you went a touring rally without hitting a cone.

Troy - U scare me on LW, but with concentration and an adjusted handbrake you could finish top three RWD.

James - Didn't look fast, but you were, must have been doing it too easily.

Haha - or spinning!

There is no question that the secret to winning these style of events is making no mistakes. Not just in not hitting cones but avoiding spins, going the right way, etc as well. I think this is where the EVO's have the advantage in these types of events as to nail a perfect run in a GT-R (or a RWD car for that matter) you have to be so close to the point of over-cooking the turns. Where as the EVO's are more biased to understeer which will never lose you as much time if you get it wrong as a big oversteer lose will.

But the only reason Gareth and Newton didn't possibly win their respective classes was errors. Make none and you'll be right up the top.

But to make things a little harder for the next one since everyone seems to be getting so much better than when we first started these days - the morning skidpan sessions are probably going to lose the practise runs. We'll keep them out the back for safety reasons but the skidpans will be timed from the start (mostly to make sure we can get through the whole program). Doing this means we should be able to get all the timed runs in and keep the free time at the end which I think everyone enjoys and gives people the chance to mess about. But it means improving map reading skills. :)

wow, i didn't think i did that bad, but i guess that goes to show how you all improved and i haven't... because with that performance a few decas ago i probably would of got top 5 or close to it.

All i've got to say is, DAMN CHEATER EVOS!!!!!

haha oh dear, I thought I had a relatively 'clean' day but looking back on it I spun twice and hit a bunch of cones... one of these days I will get through a deca without hitting anything

amazing that the big Kakimoto did so well, how does he fit it through the gates! well done to everyone the level of driving has definately gone up a notch (not mine lol)

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
