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!

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
