Lol turn 1 and the last turn at PI definitely is a highlight :D ...but I'd have to rate the corner going over Lukie heights as a bit of a fav.....left hander over a crest. As you go over the crest you feel the whole car unweight and it just drifts over to the right....you have to steer back onto the left hand side of the road and break hard for the 2nd gear tight right hander.

over the crest on the long wang! haha (Vic guys will know what I'm on about)... so much fun

seriously tho, turn 1 at PI scared me, but but turn 2 is far more technical and harder to perfect... turn 1 is more like dab the brakes, grow some balls, tip it in and hold on... turn 2 and a couple of the others I'm not sure where to apex so I find much harder to go fast through

long wang is always fun, I like the short wang though when you come out of the left hander, get on the gas, get a bit taily and up that "jump/hump" part!! awesome!!

The texi at sutton road with the big dipper and going over the little jump and having your stomach go from normal to up in your throat is awesome!! lol

flip flop at OP is pretty good. you know you have done the last 2 corners well if you are going fast enough that you want to lift off. plus there is so much road there now. track/ripple strip/concrete/more concrete/dirt. the only part you really dont want tyres on is the ripple strip. other than that just pick a line, hold the throttle flat and enjoy. it hammers the underside and suspension a bit though. :D

love coming off the bridge too. lots of track there to use also, but it's very dirty if you get too wide too early. apart from that it's a great corner.

4 and 5 at eastern creek is pretty good. you come down into 4 off the hill and it's one of those corners that can actually be taken pretty rapidly. then you need to be instantly back on the right side to turn in for 5.

turn 1 at eastern creek is good for the odd brown moment too but so many people I know have stuck it into the wall there with nasty results that kind of takes the fun out a bit. wish they would move that inside wall as it's very close to the track and claims many a fine car.

at wakefield I quite like the turn coming onto the back straight. can be tricky to time just right and is pretty important for a run down the back straight towards the last turn onto the front straight.

Hayshed at PI scares me since I can't do it flat anymore. But getting through that and coming over the top of Lukies is super.

3-5 at Wakefield is heaps of fun - so is the esses into sweeper at Barbagallo.

And coming over the hill at DECA is crazy in my car - especially if there is no chicane there!

And finally - the time we got to do the Thunderdome @ Calder as part of the GP Circuit was completely crazy.

I can't make up my mid;

Kink before the chase on Conrod at 275+ kph, flat out, no lift off, that's exhilarating

OR

McPhillamy, it's blind. so you turn in from memory

Fish hook in the wet is "fun" :(

What times were you doing Brad?

Going to the SSCC sprint march 2? Its my bday so I doubt I'll make it :D

South circuit was consiatanly doing 47's on sunday with a borrowed timer, but its got alot more in it once I sort out the suspension issue. Straight line speed was phenominal. Just felt like a drift car through a couple of turns.

Yeah im taking it back to oran park on sunday this week for a GP day to get suspension hopefully sorted.

Back on dyno the week after for some more boost.

Then wakefield on the 23rd for our circuit day

And with any luck ill have everything iorned out for the begining of the series in march.

flip flop at OP is pretty good. you know you have done the last 2 corners well if you are going fast enough that you want to lift off.

Totally agree. you question yourself and think should I shouldnt I then change your mind twice before holding it down hard!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
