hey phunky, yeah just saw the ignition dvd tonight, turned out good! and yeah you would love it there , certainly gets the blood pumping!!

hopefully we will try to get back there at the end of the year with the r34, all going okay

pauls twoogle , is one beautiful looking r32 too ! it's a credit to him.

ross, yeah, the oil to water oil coolers are great, we are seeing much lower engine oil temps now! before we were seeing up to 130 degree's!

cheers russ

I was going to bite... but.... what the hell. How could I ever compete with something like your R33 Michael. I can only dream of having the same budget, Power and Grip you do. So laugh away, Laugh at my skyline that can only have realy bad suspension geometry because it is so low. Or maybe I've read widely, spent hours making and developing my own parts to overcome the rollcentre issues and other normaly untuneable aspects of an R33.

So yeh, it is a drift thing that forces the guys at the pointy end of drift to research, make and test stuff to get thier cars to do what they want them to do. Because after all, what happens when drifters get over drift and start to explore other avenues of motorsport???? They get laughed at by knobs who think drifters are just silly kids with way too low cars.

i like drift, !

and our next car will be on the deck, none of the cars i saw in japan (other than ours) was more than about 2/3 inches off the deck.!! awsome

like you say just need to do home owrk on geometry an so fourth.

Most of them don't know/care about suspension geometry, they just stick rediculous spring/shock rates in them and there is no movement, so geometry is irrelevant. Then they have to stick new super soft tyres on for every run in an attempt to mask the suspension issues.

You kicked most of their asses last year with a comparatively miniscule budget, almost zero practise and infamiliarity with the event and the circuit. Don't fall into the copy cat trap, take the technically superior high ground.

gary you are absolutely spot on with those comments, it was the first thing we noticed with there set ups.

Yes! And if it wasn't for silly kids with low cars we wouldn't have parts like this.

I mean really all they are doing is playing make-believe-GT-racer so they want their car to look like GT500 cars.

And tyres are cheap in Japan anyway, so slap in some steel rods, slam it on the ground and slip on some super softs! :(

Oh and if you get a chance run my signature (which i have had for ages) through Google Translate :D

車高の低さは知能の低さ!!!

And below is my racing machine... it is slow, but fun

Not since I lost my licence for street drifting unfortunately... >_<

My old car had high rollcentres which is actually quite dangerous, I reckon if the roll centre is under the ground then the car can't roll above the ground! :/

    • 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.
    • 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! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
