Watching the video I was going to suggest that to you.

I'm also suprised Jack uses 3rd through Southern Loop. I'd have thought 4th was a better option? What do the other R32/R33 GTR guys use through Southern Loop?

I'm using 3rd there as well. I find 4th is good around the apex (actually I think there are two there) for stability but my 2530's are too lagy on exit and it costs time.

3rd gives good punch out of the corner, just have to remember not to get too aggressive on the throttle in the early stages of the corner.

Cheers

Andrew

Yep I also used 3rd around the southern loop...although coming out of the corner I was running out of revs and had to shift to 4th. Might try using 4th there next time.....Should mention that this is with N1's running 250 or so awkw....

Very impressive drive Troy and Jack, and not sure about any other times but these boys stood out it seems? Love the vids too, and will put on our site for others to see. I will also put it on the Zed forum to rev some fo the guys up as we are on there this Easter Sat for the Datsun Nissan Nationals. You guys sure have set the yard stick. Very handy to learn the track as I have never been there.

Troy looks like you are riding a wild horse. What suspension do you have?

W A R N I N G ! ! ! Data analysis about to happen, BORING !

So: I've dissected the DriftBox data from My 2.7 flying laps, before the gearbox cried "ENOUGH!"

The TT-Compound Re55s on the rear were starting to get squirmy on my last lap, but they were hanging in there. I'll start running through the last lap I did:

Lap: 1:53.5 (theoretical! - I moved the S/F line on the DBox software to before the 'box died)

V.Max on PitStraight=220km/h (I've only got 200rwkw!)

T1: Braked just after 2nd white line on track, down to 170km/h at turn-in, Eased into 0.9Gs

T1: Scrubbed down to 164km/h (1.25Gs through Apex) before powering out to 178km/h.

Into Southern: Braked in a straight line for 20m, before bleeding off into trail-braking, roughly in middle of track.

(Note: Southern Loop is 400m long!)

100m into Southern: 1.2Gs, 116km/h, bleeding speed to 108km/h at 160m, where car goes light:

190m into Southern: 0.95Gs, 106km/h, start looking for that EXIT ! !

225m into Southern: 1.2Gs, 112km/h, grip & track come back to you, on the gas!

400m: 0.45Gs, 142km/h, straightening up, getting that throttle buried hard into carpet. I'm 4.7degrees sideways here! !

And on and on it goes, just illustrating how much you can pull from a data trace. Over those 3 laps, I got 65metres later on the brakes into T1, with at least 20m up My sleeve on the last lap! The data shows I was quite gentle loading up the car into the fast corners, as well as having heaps to spare coming onto the front straight.

You can D/load the DriftBox analysis software FREE from their website - I'm happy to email You my traces So You can see how soft I was in the scary-quick bits ! ! ! :pirate: (no hiding with datalogging!)

Ohh - I'm not sure how accurate this is, but according to this, coming through T12:

10.9 Degrees sideways @1.0Gs, @ 159km/h !

FOR THE WIN ! ! ! !

Yeh i started looking at my data last night before i fell asleep. Looking at the best of each lap there is a 1:49 in it...so i would hope i could string a mid-high 1:50 with a few slip ups here and there.

I have off the shelf Bilsteins from Whiteline that were used as the development kit for the R32 back in 2001. Im keen now to do something about improving the suspension as the weekend reminded me why I didn’t like PI after Sandown…my car as is suits Sandown so much better.

That wasn’t my quickest or coolest lap. The 1:52 flat wasn’t too bad a lap, but the 1:53 flat lap looked the coolest :pirate:

Very impressive drive Troy and Jack, and not sure about any other times but these boys stood out it seems?

Here you go John - see where you can fit yourself into this list over Easter.

1. JagR33, R33 GTR - 1.46.36 sec

2. Aaron34, R34 GTR - 1:46.51 sec

3. Snowman, R34 GTR - 1:48.02 sec

4. Scotsman, R33 GTR - 1:50.1 sec

5 ferni, R33 GTR - 1.51.35 sec

6. BBGTR, R32 GTR - 1.51.76 sec

7. Roy, R32 GTST - 1.52.00 sec

8. Rowdyr32, R32 GTR - 1.52.23 sec

9. provo, R34 GTR - 1.53.97 sec

10. Ant97GTR, R33 GTR - 1.54.01 sec

Phillip Island is by far the hardest track I've driven on to get your head around. It's very difficult to reach your potential there the 1st time out simply because of the speeds and commitment needed on some of the corners. I have no doubt that you will want a return visit after the Nissan Nationals over Easter.

Oh - and if you are going to be running cheater tyres then Highlander ran a 1.44 on them at the weekend as well in an R33 GTR. :pirate:

I HAD done a whole picture-post with captions & whatnot, but the forum won't allow the type of link (dynamic).

I know there's pics of:

TRoy,

Nick (Bonnet pins lookin good dude!),

The GTR that Jack built,

Anthony: (A lil' crossed up in one, just before it gets messy!),

Gareth,

John,

Aaron,

Recovery F.T.W. ! ! ! (You'll see)

Wayne !

Ray: Dude, please, PLEASE pull some fuel out of this thing: (mid-shift)

Steven

Me Passing a WRX (the natural order of things), and later returning broken 'boxed (NOT the natural order of things !!!)

So then, I'll just link to the whole Album,

P.I. Photo Album, taken with Ben's Nikon digital SLR (thanks Ben!)

More boring data from my DL1...

I'll show You my Data if You show Me yours . . . .

Like I was saying . . . . . . R A Y ! ! ! PULL SOME FUEL OUTTA THAT THING MAAANN ! !

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
