ok, let's talk melb GP.

I wasn't planning to go this year but at the last minute realised I couldn't bear to miss it. So I'll be heading south of the border again.

So, who is going? where are you going to watch from? and what else are you going to get up to whilst down mexico way?

hey, I only consider you scum next to krusty. yeah, you see how you scum.

and ftr, I've done general admission once before but found that I missed my usual spot in the turn 1 grandstand. so every time since it's brabham stand all the way. this year I wasn't going to go at all, but changed my mind at the last minute, so no chance of a grandstand ticket at this late stage, so I'll be mixing with the common man. don't know how i'll cope.

i just looked at the prgram and have to say it's looking a little lame this year. no V8s is a big shame, and nothing to replace them ;)

That's ok Richard, Brisby will take you for a spin in his 32 to make up for it... :D

He's done quite a few mods in the last week or two... :P

Back on topic, might head down on the sunday for a looksie....

yeah, brisby is good a taking people for a spin. like turn 8 at eastern creek for example... ouch. :)

so since this will be my first solo mission for melb for the GP I may need some entertainment. I usually go down with mate, or my gf but doing it on my lonesome this year. i'll be down from thursday to monday, so if anyone wants to meet up for some crazy reason and get drunk with me, then lets do it.

hm, maybe if I get troy drunk enough I can convince him to drive the ol GTST out onto the albert park circuit for a few happy laps. i know they can get streakers and protesters off pretty quick smart, but how long do you reckon it'll take them to catch and subdue troy belting his little GTST around Albert Park? now that would be something to see. that would be a sight, the pace car, and security chasing troy around lap after lap, hope they display his times up on the board... lol. maybe even pull into the pits troy and see what happens? maybe score a set of rays wheels and 13 inch wide slicks and some jungle juice to keep you going!

Hey Beer Baron,

Me and Ewen (youve met him a few times) will be down, were heading down on the Thursday and heading back on the Tuesday after.

Will PM you my mobile number and we can catch up, lots of drunken idiocy going on no doubt and were staying in a hotel on Queens St 2 mins from the GP entrances.

EDIT: At this point in time it looks like I will even have a spare Senna pass if you want to come and kick it in the grandstand with us :ninja:

sounds good mate. pm'd you my number too.

as for you troy, don't worry, I think I can put an advanced call in for some pre-stunt legal advice.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.

      You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought.

      Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.

      iPad gauge cluster

      By PranK · Posted

      So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
