Woke up this morning and I reckon it's finally sunk in that I was lucky enough to be invited by Russel Newman to navigate for him in last weeks Tasmanian Tarmac Challenge in his new Hi Octane/ACL R35 GTR.

Wow, what an outstanding car, well peddled by Russ! Once a good road rally tyre is available for these cars, I reckon they'll be THE vehicle to have for tarmac rallies. Tony Quinn who has one in NZ totally agrees, and he's a man of considerable Porsche experience and is a great driver.

Just wanted to vent, the 35 aint over-hyped..... it IS tha shit!!! :banana:

I think Kel covered it well :P

One difference though... I found it very hard seeing over the bonnet after the pedestrian bonnet charged lifted the back of the bonnet up about 7 inches :D Keep in mind I sit on the floor....

lol... here's a cracker,..... before one of the stages I spent 10 minutes telling Giant how slippery the first corner was, how we spun there in the R34 in 2006, taking out two guide posts......

So, we take off, big demo for the crowd, what happens? We half-spin, taking out two guide posts.... identical! lolol wish I could remeber what I said through the intercom :P

lol... where's Giant?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
