Hats off to Gavin for hitting the track in the GIO car...but he has to realise driving an ex Grp A car that he has a target on his back. Everyone wants to go quicker then :thumbsup: But it did look like coming onto the striaght he was giving the GTR everything it had.

hahahah thats awesome! 47's is bloody quick - how much more do you think you had in the car? Hard to go your fastest first time at PI.

Conditions were ideal and the way the car it was prob a second or so in improved driving if had more time in the car as only did 14 laps. With knowledge of the track and learning the lines and with better set up a few more seconds. I realised with so much speed and grip and g forces the shocks were not coping and unloaded and wobbled a bit and unsettled and I should have adjusted harder. I realised this late in the day as I was getting quicker, and mentioned this to Roy. I had shocks set for much lower speed and bumpy Wakefield track. With so much happening and trying to keep it quiet and my session was up I just went with it. Lot of much slower traffic also and I actually passed a Datsun Fairlady convertible on the fastest lap which didn't slow it up too much. I also need to learn how to use the boost controller properly as my mechs are usually with me to fly all this stuff as it was only on 19 psi and could have gone up to 23psi for the straight. Normal boost this day was only 16psi. Temps still get up though as water temp got up to 94c which is still fine but did surprise me, although on the loud peddle for such a long time most of the track especially coming onto the straight and then long straight.

Yes this GIO GTR is still and awesome machine and well built and with good driver would have been much faster than my car, especially with slicks if not old? I did check with the organisers at the start of the day if he was a good driver and knew the track, which they said he certainly did. He obviously was not pushing the car hard other than the straight although probably not on high boost?

This is the first time I have used the push to pass button and will be giving it a big go at Wakefield for Auto Salon Circuit Battle Fridday 27th April and with this and other improvements should do a 1 min 5.

LOL...shouldnt have listened to me :bunny:

John wanted to harden up the suspension, but my 1c was the leave the car as is as he only had 3 laps to go so best drive same car you had all day. No doubt there is plenty left in the car. You were pulling a second a lap out of the car in the last session with traffic. When your times stagnate or only improve by tenths of a second you may be getting close. But you were improving over a second a lap!

Still its only a time...and you need to be careful of not getting cheated at these sorts of days! You get a fixed number of laps, not a timed session. Go too quick and you could see yourself gettng 5 minutes less track time then me over the day. You see, there is method to my going slow :P

..im dirty i wasnt out there. I would have loved to have documented evidence that an R32 GTSt is quicker around PI then the GIO car :bunny: LOL doesnt matter that he was cruising (I understand it was his first time on the track in the car...so probably just going through the motions doing shecks) .

But...my grandkids or 18 yr old girls that i court need not know the difference :P

Come on John, don't tell us you didn't buy V8SupercarsII to practice at PI before you went there? :bunny:

Think I might trade my GTS4 for a ZedTT !!

Great work, but wondering about the extended exhaust pipe in the pit lane video?

That tip extra extension is stage two noise suppression device.

Roy ulterior motives hey. "Yeah John go for it all good, go for it don't change anything." Yeah right. LOL.

Big thanks for your help with the tip fitting. You are a better man than me, I don't think I could turn up to an event like this with out having a go.

Turbox the boys in the house we were staying at had this but I never had a chance to have a go on it as arrived Fri night a 10pm and straight to bed after driving 12 hours or so. I have it at home but can't get excited about it. Played it once when we got it a year ago Oran Park track but I like the real thing only.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
