both driver ans co driver are OK, and still have their sense of humor intact

I don't think any amount of race tape will get me to the start line tommorow though!!!

Its was doing 140Kph when it went through the side of a poor farmers shed

The local paper had this photo and the headline "This lotus postiion not calming".

Dissapoint news about the R35. Will try to get out on Sunday and see the other SAU guys on the stage in Hobart. Last stage for the whole event so I hope to see some severe tyre shredding, its only about 1.3kms long guys so rip it up!!!

To make up for the disappointing show by the new school Dattos, check out the Siddins/Ferguson 240Z. First in Early Classic, fifth in Outright Classic and first non Porka there :wub:

another one to watch is car 711 of luck and johnstone. comming 19th in classic outright they are piloting an r32 gtst. its there 4th targa in this car and its taken a few years of R&D to get it right but this rear its pretty well on song.

Is this the black R32? She was smoking pretty badly but the Rb20's still going strong.

Its brilliant to see so many of our guys still running.

Unfortunately Kel's car had a fuel pump come loose and stop so they missed a whole stage and copped 1hr20m penalty time. Which sucks because they were in 32nd before that.

Ben is still going brilliant, and its great to see the boys in 814 still going strong considering its their first run down there.

Hope everyone makes it home oK today!

well done everyone that made it home!

final results are

And congrats to Greg from Autosport who came home first in showroom 4wd

Ben, what happened to yo guys today? hope everything is OK :) "895 suffered mechanical issues on Mt Arrowsmith"

Yeah Jas we had fuel pump problems on cygnet last year put us out for the day. you guys found us in the middle of nowhere where the local lady bought cake over for us all to eat. only in tassie. the gtr pump mount is crappy at the best of time and i think all of these old 32s have had enough hits over the year to make them even worse

yeah big respect to all the guys who competed. and well done Kel! I'm sure your super navigating made all the difference. :)

and you looked super cute in your race suit. :):3some:

I do believe that Jenna Kelley is a member of SAU Vic, a top navigator from all accounts too.

Yep she sure is (goes by the user name Tiiger)

Hey guys, just got home from Hobart.

f**king rapt in getting 12th outright, 1st in class and 1st privateer home, I have to thank Benny so much for letting me sit along side him for a week calling the shots, I had a ball and have never felt so alive in all my life.

Congrats to all who finished and to those who didn't i hope you have a speedy recovery/get the car back out there.

Manions had an off on Mt Arrowsmith, all ok... we thought they might have just beached it on a culvit, turns out they put it into the bank, not too bad and its already on the way to the panel shop for repairs.

The GTR didn't sustain any serious damage, just got a bunch of punctures and i think damaged some suspension components. It was still being driven around and being put on display.

Bring on next year, im hungry to go fast again.

Targa site was nice too us, I put the car off on Mt Arrowsmith. Right 5 tightens to a 3, I was on the brakes, and as it tightened to a 3 the wheels locked and off we went. Very hard to take your foot off the brake to correct it :down: , was pretty pissed at the time, and even more so once I found out how well we'd gone on the 2 previos stages. But you live and learn, still had a ball for the rest of the event. Hope to be back next year. I'll put the footage of it up soon.

oops thats a strange place to park.

but hey, the only thing worse than crashing is not having footage of the crash. ask Mark.

Hope it you get it back together in one piece :down:

    • 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.
