There was a quality drop with compressing for Youtube, the helmet cam was making an annoying 'clunking' noise, so I covered it with music instead and will look for a better way to attach the helmet cam next time

BTW - Hillclimb at Fairbairn this Sunday.

SAU Track Day in the GTS-T - Dereck can tell me if I have kept my lines or not :pirate: LOL

The white 33 was interesting to follow, even if I did have to slow down/stop for it a few times

Cheers

what sort of times were you getting Michelle?

I don't know LOL I didn't have any timers, if the helmet camera speed is accurate, we should be able to work it out by watching the clips, I wouldnt use the one I have there though, too many interuptions, I can put up some of my cleaner (uninterupted) runs for that. As you can see in the clips, our speeds were pretty similar on the straight, but I was caught behind them in the tighter sections.

We should go out on an open day and time each other, although they're pretty busy too. The SAU day wasn't too busy, it was fabulous.

I'll use any excuse to get back out on the track :)

your lines look pretty good. would be better next time if you tape the camera to the side of the passenger seat or something similar, that way the image will look 100 times better (trust me, im a cameraman!).

i haven't been on a track in ages. i hope your enjoying it, cause when the funds dry up, it really sucks.... :) i think you and i would have an interesting race. last time i was there, i was passing GTR's + EVO's with more mods than yours, but was losing at the corner exits, cause i've only got rwd...

good times, good times.... :)

Sweet.

Yeh like Frink said, its heaps better when stuck to a passenger seat. Myself and a friend made a steel bar that was held in by the 4 steel posts that go into the 2 seats from the head rests on my Pulsar when I had it, was awsome, didnt move at all except for when the car did, plus you could see the guage cluster to see speeds etc, ill see if i can find it and put some pics up.

Im looking at going up for a day soon when I get the car on the road again to get some practice time for a race coming up, so maybe a few of us could go up. Im thinking start to mid September. (race is end of sept)

I just spoke to reception at Wakefield, they have the 21st pencilled in for a "Speed off the street" day at this moment, however she did warn that Fridays are popular for private bookings (at approx $2100 a day + ins) and may be changed to a private booking.

She suggested I call back in approx 2 weeks and see how its going then. She also explained that the 90+ cars I experienced recently on a weekend was very unusual and even caught them off guard. For example, today only had just over 40 cars.

So we could pencil in 21st Sept and if it ends up being privately booked, we can reschedule to the weekend.

I'm even happy to share my helmet cam around if you want to try it out.

If you want to buy one... the simplest setup I could find was also one of the cheapest options. See ebay

Oregon Scientific ATC2000 Waterproof Helmet Cam with 2 GB SD Card

The same seller had different prices for the same item, so look around for the best deal on the day, I paid US $129.95 + US $20 Postage to Australia, converted... all up around $179 with 2gb card, delivered in less than a week.

I bought from seller: kleenmaint

http://stores.ebay.com.au/DONNAS-OUTDOOR-ELECTRONICS - check out the savings to be had on buying one without a card and getting the card for about $20AUD separately here. ie there is one there "buy it now" from same seller for just over AUD $100 without card.

8 available http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ATC2K-ATC2000-AT18-...oQQcmdZViewItem

The pros are its self contained, single unit, easy to operate. The only con so far is that I guestimate where its pointing and havent done too badly, but you don't have a view finder to see exactly where its pointed.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
