changed my mind. I'm going to man up and bring this down for the main game instead. it will probably mean i spend most of the day under the car, re-attaching the turbo each time the studs stretch/come loose but what the hell... someone has to play the cannon fodder role!

quick question - what's the format going to be? do you break us up into groups and have (for eg) 10 minute sessions each like a normal supersprint, or do you get a series of single attempts to set your time - ie out lap, timed lap, in lap?

Oh yes Harry..bring the Datto 1200!!!

This beast is one serious weapon. I have driven this car a couple of times over the years when the previous owner had it. For those that know wakefield, I did a 1.07.20 in it a couple of years ago on old R compounds. I know the car is much better now from when I last drove it.

I love this car.....go the Datto's

HAHAHA I think from memory Jas it was retreads and the trailer. Hang on a minute..I think you car was on the trailer!!!

I still love you Jas, and yes I will let you know when I have a day free for some GP tuition :)

Steve, I am hoping that you will not need the cage so as soon as I know I will let you know. From what I have been told so far you wont need one but I need to clarify that. Either way the class you want to run in next time will not require one :D

Awesome :)

I think its still got the same tyres now!

sheez Bozzy - so much for being an unkown quantity eh?

but that's still seconds off the pace of the Exige - and that's with you at Datsun's wheel! then factor in my fat untalented arse slowing the whole show down...

should probably be a question mark after cheap too...

Expensive Dato race car is cheap cheap Nissan race car. Expecially what is turning up for open class.

very true. its all relative.

have you had your Zed on the scales? I know you've got lots of power but that's still a very impressive time for a big car at a reasonably tight track like Wakefield.

Now that the wheels point straight all the time and it has some consitency in the camber curves it should be a fair bit faster and noticeably easier to drive. Particularly on the technical tracks. Hence why I reckon there's a good 5 seconds or so available at OP GP for a 1.13 maybe a 1.12, the 1.18 doesn't align well with the other times.

If John can coax that out of it on the day, I reckon it will be hard to beat. It's certainly the sort of times, given a dry track, that I expect will be needed to be in there with a chance.

Cheers

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
