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.

Troy what was your time

I didnt actually run so my car is still in one piece :domokun:

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.....

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
