Yeah, he was quicker than me all day. But i was happy with a 1.32. I only did two or three sessions out there so i was very happy with my time, and only 3 seconds off the pace of the owner. Oh and no i dont fit in the car all that well, dutton will be intresting.

yeah its pretty embarassing when someone jumps in your car and is quicker than you :D:)

so Ryan was in the 1.29's hey... was this on RE55's? cos if it was I think he has a couple more seconds in it still... I've done a 1.29 around there on streets with the speed limiter on and I think our cars are similar power/weight

its hard to drive a car fast that you aren't comfortable in but you should have plenty of practice adapting to different cars :)

I ran a 1.19.32. Handbags ran a 1.19.37. As my friend Vin says "It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile...." :)

Scotsman only ran a 1.21.something as he was caving under the pressure. :D

In my defence it was the breaks that caved under pressure.

But the car is capable of a 1.19, so that's all I need to know.

In my defence it was the breaks that caved under pressure.

Yeah but Handbags ran the 1.19 AFTER you ran the 1.21. So surely he had less brakes than you did :wacko:

:)

In Chris's defence he did not get a clear run it that sesion at all. The brakes had absolutly had it by the time I brought the car back. Peddle to the floor and used about 30% of the pad in one sesion. The only thing in my favour was that there was a bit of rubber on the track and it was as warm as it was going to get. I seriously think the car can run a 1.18 with good stoppers.

Oi and snowy running in the teens doesnt make you a good bloke. You need to buy me a frigen burger rather than sending me to the back of the line to achive that. :(

was a top day!

the 'bird was performing pretty well, still suffering a lot of understeer, and can't get the power down out of corners as early as i'd like.

blew an intercooler hose off in one session, progressively lost the manifold-turbo gasket throughout the day and an O2 sensor that refused to stay in its hole.

little problems, but enough to see me only get two timed sessions before calling it quits. but not to worry, had heaps of fun in my final session and took a second off my PB, down to a 1:33.2

car's still got a fair bit in it, my testicular mass is the limiting issue :laugh:

desperately need a tacho. after watching the in-car footage, i realised just how early i'm shifting! she was cutting out at about 190-200km/h in 5th, but we know it's not the speed limiter, so thinking it's the AFM maxing out. bugger.

...and good footage Jack. But what happened to the Stig...LOL it looks like you were driving ANGRY today :laugh: But parkign it on the 1:18s all day. Fark me that take a lot of committment

The Stig was on a mission for a 17, but driving with anger was not going to cut it.... Smooth is the Stig's style, but the gearbox wasn't up for another session...

Although it was great entertainment for the spectators, so I was told anyway.....

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA

      The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
