congrats on your efforts at superlap guys.. well done, was the highlight of the day

car looked, sounded and went awesome.. and the sponser stickers were applied well... didnt take away from the car at all... good to see all the hard work and $$ paid off in the end.

didnt look like oran park suited it though.... kinda like it just had too much power and spent most of the time either lighting em up or washing off acceleration.. maybe on a flatter track like tsukuba it would be a force to be reckoned with... sooo whens it going on the boat??

cheers

question was there something wrong with the transfer you seem to have alot of problems geting the power down out of bends

besides that it looked and sounded awsome

[Matt_971]

come on lads someone HAS to have some video of it lol. I'm dying to see it.

NEARLY drove up from melb just to see it lol.

But had something come up.

NEED to see some vid. Need a fix lol.

[Z1LLA]

The car sounded awesome out on the track, especially accelerating through the gears up the straight.

[NZM.031]

i have a tiny clip of it but unknowns to me it was about to pull into the pits... so its worthless.

speaking of sounding great down the straight.... what the hell was wrong with the Gracer r33??? it sounded terrible.

[Merli]

Approximate times?

1:13.6 or 1:13.7 around OP GP

Obviously a lot more to come, but that's fantastic for the first outing!

[Marlin]

Not bad for 2WD I guess........

[nfi]

Think the guys didn't have a chance to put in a 4wd controller so it was running standard torque split. Not great for track times but made it look like a LOT of fun to drive ripping it very sideways while accelerating coming onto the straight.

Well done though Russ and Mark. Car looked great, looked like fun to drive and it still worked at the end of the day- a decent feat for its first competitive outing.

The boys changed the transfer case on saturday in the hope of getting some front drive. Didn't help much, the best they could get was 10% or so directed to the front. That's why you see pics of it black-tracking everywhere.

[fatz]

certainly looked 2wd

thus the question re transfer

[Beer Baron]

yeah, there is something not quite right with awd. not exactly sure what but it's not getting enough front drive. we changed transfer case on saturday and it was a little better in the morning, but not much. mark reckons possibly a sensor failure or awd ecu not receiving an input (like TPS) as it's getting some pressure but not enough, which means it's baking the transfer case which means it gets worse and worse. on top of that they have a fair bit more torque than before and trying to put that power down on 265 semis is not easy, hell even some of the evos which are much lighter and with less toque run 285s!

the car went so well for it's first outing. nothing broke and apart from the little awd issue it ran absolutely perfectly. a credit to mark and russ for their hard work and all the other guys who worked on it too. mark drove the absolute wheels off the thing too and watching the in-car last night just goes to show he must have a giant set a it looks scary to drive. scary fun that is.... i'm sure russ will post some when he gets home, but i'd say the car is wheel spinning about 3/4s of the time! It's sideways from turn 5 all the way up the hill and onto the bridge through 3rd and 4th. then sideways off the bridge all the way to the S.

and yes cnj tune it.
