hit the bank then rolled? still looks driveable to me you big girl :teehee:

yep, managed to drive up the bank on the exit of a nice simple open corner, and barrell-rolled off the top... it probably was still driveable, but the driver had had enough!

Cheers G T R, i think i saw you at lakeside on monday. Does your 32 have the black rays rims with the red writing around the center?

Zennon: Yeah its still rb20 powah at the momment. In my first session on the sprint i ran a best of 1:20, next session i ran a best of 1:16 my next and last session was a best of 1:12.

On the national track i only had 1 session and my best was 1:37.

I could make a few excuses but i achieved what i set out to which was to

a) go as fast/hard as i can without destorying the car or oiling up the track and making a dick of myself on my first day out there

b) not come last :wacko:

Hopefully ill be out at the nissan day to help out but my work hours are changing and i wont have tuesdays free anymore :)

More RB20s out there the better. Though i read Gts30t is going to the darkside, if nothing else the user name change hints at something fishy. So think you shoudl stick with the RB20, your car will be much quicker with the money spent elsewhere on the car!

I post this a lot, but is pretty good indicator of how the RB20 can do the job better then anyone credits:

Comparison is both against RB25 NEO engines, both with GCG Hi-Flows, Bass Junky with same tuner and dyno and Poncams. Now tell me that the RB20 with the right diff ratio and turbo cant match bigger displacement RBs to the point where they are a huge hindrance.

LOL, stick with the RB20! Sooner or later you will ditch it, but shouldnt be on the must do list unitl lots of other things have been done :D

A hks 2530 makes about 210 rwkw. Need to get some injectors and have it retuned though, the guys at the last track day told me it was pinging a fair bit.

What times have u run around there?

I have only ever done the sprint track - and haven't been there in ages.. best i've had is mid 62's :D

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
