Yup yesterday was awesome! And can I add spinning twice and nearly spinning another couple of times, through the corner at the end of the backstraight to the crazyness! I really need semi's :( and an oil cooler ;) oh and the fact I had to get Mark to drive me down the servo for fuses when I popped the fuel pump one and later realised I could have just pulled the one out of the line to the amp which is all of like 5cm from the fuel pump ones! :P

Ant - You wouldn't happen to know the part number for you oil cooler kit would you? Should ask if it's the HKS one as well ;) looked like it....

I had an average day out there, the car developed a big misfire problem when accelerating out of the corners in the last couple of sessions (its been located now). It was also my first time out at that track and with semis on the car, took a lot to get used to, was a huge difference in the performance of the semis vs street tyres, lots of fun.

I've got to get the speed limiter removed as well, hitting it near the finish line was costing a few seconds per lap as well.

Was great to meet so many other members and have a chat, thanks for your time.

And that grey R32 GT-R was awesome, sounded so tough along the straight and nice flames when braking for turn one ;)

Kyle semi's won't automatically stop you spinning out, they will just give you more grip before you spin out, so you'll be spinning out faster ;)

If you're spinning out, best to sort out whatever it is doing it - driver or car setup :P I had the same trouble when i first started doing trackdays, spinning out on low speed corners and car feeling unstable.

As for an oil cooler - just get the biggest you can, the HKS kit is good because it comes in a kit with air deflector etc... make sure you duct as much air through it as you can. Don't bother with the oil filter relocation.

Lol I like that analagy :wave: I think the problem is more the driver, I wanna go faster around corners but the car doesn't :( When I slowed down a bit through the corner it was a little less hairy.....

Yeh, Just trying to find info on the different HKS kits avaliable. Yar I wasn't really planning on getting a relocator thing but from what I can find the kit that comes with the deflectors comes with that as well. I probably really only need the basic kit. Cooler, lines and adapter plate, I can make up the deflectors at work. You reckon a thermostat is required as the car does see a bit of street driving......

Jack,

With the WRX Club practice times don't count and aren't shown in the results.

..but how SAU treat your times is up to them :)

i.e. (We could get the times if you needed them..)

Can any of the head honchos of SAU motorsport confirm??

Do times in practise session count??

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
