Winton Sprints - Sat 28 July - Club C/ships Rnd 5


Recommended Posts

Well the weather was great, my car had a lot of work done to it last week and was ready to do some really decent times, I should've been able to do a 1:40 flat because last time I did a 142.

I didn't even get to do 1 flying lap because my car broke :santa:. Unfortunately the car only worked for Adam's first four laps and he got a silly 139 in it, very disapointed that I didn't get to have a good run... Next time!

Jack you are absolutely crazy, so smooth, thanks for the ride in your car!

No mate, I spoke to him though.

He looked like he knew what he was doing.

I think Adrian was his name. I got his business card which has a link to all his photos.

He said that photos of our event should be up in the coming week.

I will post up his details shortly so all can see. :D

Great shots! :santa: Were you the guy pointing the massive camera lens at cars coming through the S bend?
Here are a couple of laps of the Group 1 super sprint from my car: http://www.gtauto.com.au/movies/WintonSS.wmv 29mb.

Nice work Wayne!!!

Looks like your car is very sorted suspension wise, handles very well and no major under/oversteer.

I guess with that turbo its very responsive and doesn't come on boost hard trying to throw the car off the track...

What happened to Matt?? Did something go wrong??

Jack - Open wheeling diff & sh!t suspension.. I couldn't get power down, car didn't ride flat thru the corners, too much roll..

Well done Wayne, all that go-karting experience gives you great driving skills. See you at Sandown :thumbsup:

Matt...like i said, even with the slightly soft suspension and open wheeling diff. There is still time in your car if you have of just got out there and kept lapping. I bet if you had of continued driving you woudl have bagged a 1:39 (SERIOSULY)!

I did get 1:39.9 >_< There is alot more time in my car with the right setup (and more driver skill :thumbsup:) I know what you're saying but I wasn't happy with the suspension setup, and would be just burning rubber and fuel. Always next time.

Yeh, i was just frustrated that i wasnt able to get my car there. I woudl have seriously paid your entry just to do a few laps in your car :thumbsup:

Instead the only sport i got on the weekend was darts and drinking beer...oh and some pin ball >_<

HAHA, Darts was one of the highlights of my weekend, I've never laughed so much!! The Brisby quick draw dart technique... Nice! And our great selection of tunes, go the oldies.... :) And the pinball machine that was about to give someone the electric shock of their life because of the faulty wiring...

I wish we had video footage of Newton stabbing the dart into Mav's leg...

Do I get a prize for dirtiest car? I stole the title from Chris :)

Had an awesome time though! So happy with my car >_< pitty I suck at the driving it part :thumbsup: ah well more practise! Thanks heaps as well Chris for all the help!

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
