Winfield Racing / Gibson Mototsport GT-R on the track again 18/08/02 Eastern Creek


Recommended Posts

Well, the GTR came out on the track after all :(:D:D

that thing sounds sooooooo nice!! :eek:

I was standing right next to it when they fired it up *drool*

pics are here

hehe yeah i know Birty, pretty cool ey? :P

Most people were there for the other cars....so there was hardly any crowds around it at all (strange...but true! silly people LOL). See the pic where it's driving thru the other cars back to the shed...no one's paying it any attention!!

I even heard one guy say "is that one of those cars that raced at Bathurst ages ago?" :(

It sounded SO tough on the track :D:D

hey shell

mate, how good was the bloody godzilla? that thing sounded tops when it flew down the straight. i wonder what sort of speed he reached. i was having a chat to mark hooker (guy in the pics next to the car with the winfield shirt) and he said the owner of godzilla owns the famous exa and two hr31's. what a beautiful car the r32 is. shat all over that falcon with the silly paintjob. shame there was hardly any nissans there, besides the 300zx's in the Z Car Club stand. that r32 was the highlight of the day - why there was hardly anyone checking it out, i have NO idea! stupid bastards. we gotta get some nissans together at that nissan cruise at the end of the month.

cheers, MARK

yea it sounded good alright just made me want to rip of all the mufflers of my r and drive around near re-line

trust me to bump into kyle but not you shell (havent even met you but kyle isnt anything to look at)LOL

bugger

Big thanks to Darren (CressidaV8 from Performanceforums.com) who came to the rescue and supplied the required 1" drive 600 ft/lb torque wrench needed to tighten the wheel nut on each wheel. ( these tools are about $1800 each, hence they are not in your average tool kit)

in full race trim, they used to tighten the nuts to about 800 ft/lb of torque ( yes, that's LOTS)

Terry told me if it was raining also that we wouldn't be taking it out (remember the last time it was driven on a race track, in the rain what happened ( refer Bathurst 1992 video) :P:) ) - understandably, Terry did not want to damage the car.

I didn't get there until it was just going out, so didn't get to install the camera after all.... there is always NEXT time :)

It will be on the track again shortly - (not sure if it is for public knowledge yet) - but as soon as it's announced I will let you knwo

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
