Good day. The Atom looks funny on a trailer, on the road and on the track. I dont think it fits in anywhere :)

The little GSTt that thinks it can looked to be taking a beating all day with drivers tag teaming it....and it seemed to love it. :cool:

Sam Markov is a real nice guy and that M3 of his is disturbingly quick...i think it must have more to do with the nuyt behind the wheel rather then who has swung spanners on it.

Snowie needs to drink Canadian Club, otherwise his track performance on a race weekend suffers :)

Good to hear.............but that M3 is one of Sams customers cars. It probably helps that Sam does all the work and gets to drive it but! :)

No I just need to tie you up and gag you come bed time so I can get a decents nights uniterupted sleep.

But actually I think there might be something a little more sinister wrong with the car. Will go speak to the man today.

*sigh*

Was a great day, well worth travelling down from Brisvegas for indeed ;)

Great to catch up with you Snowy and Bris, reading the above I'm kinda glad you didn't get hold of me Saturday night :)

Sure was some impressive machinery there, that M3 is nuts, Coad's Monara just as impressive!

I'm stoked with my little gts-t (so is Aaron who flogged it murcilessly all day for free :D), she just kept going and going, ended up doing 270klms on the circuit :D

LEL, Ben, i see in your sig you after wheels and calipers. I am your man for rubbish parts for R32 GTSts ;) . Do you want my Weds? 17x8 +34. I will see if R32Bigboy has some pics of them on his black R32 GTSt as be did borrow then one DECA

Also have a set of F40 calipers that have the same size pistons as the GTR Brembo, but are a better caliper and bracketrs for use with the 324mm GTR rotor, that even fit inside the Weds wheels i have for sale. I am selling the brakes as they dont fit inside my other wheels :D

These are the Weds, they are forged and lighter then my old Rays LM GT4s, (the GT4s was 1/2" wider at 8.5" vs the Weds at 8", but doubt the same sized GT4 would be any lighter)

Looks like my rear diff is shot. :(

At least it explains the recent below avergae times and results. The problem has been we've been blaming conditions rather than the car for the percieved lack of drive out of slow corners. Oh wells - hopefully can get it all sorted in time for the truck leaving next week.

You know I was just saying to the boys yesterday that alot of the GTR's seemed to be suffering a bit from loose rear diffs. Most of you could clearly be heard spinning the inside coming out of that last right hander before the start/finish line.

Images from the weekend, i've still got a few to go through as i ran out of time processing them because i had to organize my trip to Europe later this month.

Yeah well I was about 15km/hr down on top speed on that straight simply due to the lack of drive out of those tight corners - and Winton has plenty of them. That was why I packed up and went home early. But really it was why I was there to begin with - I wasn't convinced something wasn't quite right with the car at Dutton Vic this year but with the bad weather I couldn't put my finger on it as wet weather really masked the problem. At least this confirmed my suspisions something was up and gives me renewed confidence heading into W.A.

It's still funny though that despite my issues I was still the fastest GT-R there and there wasn't a shortage of them. And I didn't even have my own transport service vehicle and race crew with me!

Thanks for the pics Jarrod :wave:

Yes your time was still quite respectable regardless, shows you've got a real handle on the car and know how to drive it.

I suggested to the dude in the R34 NuR (with Motec etc...) that he should maybe follow me around to get the line, but he couldn't keep up. lol :P

    • Driveability will be about the same with either externally venting BOV, or no BOV at all. Perhaps worse one way than the other, with me thinking that the definitely more flow going through the AFM through a venting BOV more likely to cause rich stalls than the perhaps more flow that the AFM might read on reversion. There is no such thing as "turbo damage" from not having a BOV at stock, or even quite a lot higher than stock, power levels. You need a big turbo with a lot of mass spinning hard getting a horrible slowdown from a slammed shut throttle before there is anything like the shaft loads required to damage things. Not an issue on small turbos. The ONLY 2 reasons that Nissan put a recirc valve onto the RB were: It is a bypass valve. It is open when under vacuum. When not on boost, it bypasses intake air forward around the compressor, which unloads the compressor, allowing the turbine to sping more freely, making the whole lot a bit more efficient when just puddling around. Throttle response should also be faster via the shorter, smaller diameter BOV pipe (when in NA, ie before the BOV closes and boost is building) which is nicer for driveability. Emissions. The reversion causes CO pulses. Eliminate the reversion (or at least, keep it away from the AFM) and you don't get that. The stalling/driveability aspect could have been tuned around, as shown one example of by dose above, if Nissan hadn't put a recirc valve on. Many many turbo engines before the RB had no BOV. They did not stall. See the RB30 turbo as an example. Nistune is definitely better than just stock ECU. It allows you to access and change things that are not excellent on the stock setup, and allows you to do mods like put decent injectors in, relocate the AFM, put a bigger turbo or even cams, etc, on, change to coil swith completely different swell needs, etc etc. All the things that you might need or want to do 25 years after the car was new. Aftermarket replacement ECU is obviously better again, because it gives you even more freedom from the constraints of the stock ECU. I won't be needing to go any further than Nistune though, for the new turbo in the 250ish rwkW region I'm going to, with big injectors, and most other things being stockish.
    • Lucky the prp block is supposed to be released next weekend 
    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 😄 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 😄 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 😄 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel
