ok, I'll be the first to post an update - I think everyone else is probably at the pub.

New PB for me after new engine 1.49.18 - sorry Ferni - I think that is the extra 20kw I have on you.

Best save of the day - JOHN PENLINGTON coming on to the front straight and going wide and not binning it - ON THE GRASSS for nearly 200 meters at about 180 KMH it looked like - nice one :O

Most frustrating part of the weekend - SATURDAY - massive turn out and subsequent massive traffic with 24 cars on track - was a pain in the arse.

Best flame show - me I think - the back of my car looks a bit like a chimney.

Was a great 2 days and I had a blast - but I'm totally rooted and need some sleep

:O

Another tops day at the Island! New PB of a flat 1:52 which I was wrapped with considering it was my semis last outing. Also got to beat a GT3 (on the track anyway...not sure of laptime comparison) and couple of 911's and a new S4.

Lol the grip of my tyres was no where near where they used to be and as a result it was a bit of a handful.....had the car drift in turn 11 pulling hard in 3rd gear and she ran a little wide at the exit of turn two which put two tyres onto the dirt.

Only frustration for me was the bloody S4....was on his tail from the exit of Siberia and he just wouldn't let me pass so was forced to duck under him and overtake him thru hayshed on the inside!

Sorry to see people have dramas and the sight of John P's car coming back into the pits after daisy cutting was pretty funny (but I can imagine it wasn't so funny in the drivers seat at the time!).

Does anyone know where I can find results from the day...is it posted on the piarc website?

What a tops couple of days.

Had a blast...

bad luck to jack with his turbo issues with any luck they will be resolved soon and everything is back to normal...

Marcovs R32 on Sunday was even faster......

That car is insane. It used to be insane - now its even more so.

He came up behind me so fast onto the front straight I'm sure he nearly ran into the back of me. :P

What time did he eventually put down?

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
