Calder - Wrx Club Sprint - Sun Oct 14


Recommended Posts

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......

Errr not off hand mate but I'll be in my paperwork somewhere.....if you can wait a day or so I'll check and PM you.

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??

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
