The EVO split the plenum where the idle control stepper motor bolts on.

bummer :banana: the car was super quick all day. and in fact all the cars seemed to be pretty reliable with no big stacks and no big blow ups which was nice to see. a few little dramas but nothing that caused any oil downs etc.

Vi-PEC wins Superlap !!!

Well done Insight Motorsport on taking out the Superlap Event.

Scott Kuhner has prepared, engineered and tuned the car and runs a V88 ecu and uses E85 fuel.

Scotty did plenty of hours on the car up to the event and did plenty of overnight 5am sessions on it to get it ready.

top stuff guys.

They also took out clubsprint event in the evo9 which uses a Vi-PEC pnp ecu and uses E85.

AND Federal 595RS-R tyres Paul :banana:

Ahhh... good to hear that it's only a minor problem.

Everyone was a little shocked, we were all hoping to see 1:11s from the car in the balls-out flying lap :banana:

We have too many brand whores on this forum :banana:

I think you're overreacting steve.. I dont think you'd be getting so worked up if you were drinking an icy cold Coca Cola. Taste the sensation.

Congrats to all the competitors and winners!

I was there on the Saturday (Black S13 with GT wing) but couldnt make it on the Sunday unfortunately.

Not many cars were there on the Saturday but still more than enough to drool over!

Notice the natsoft times dont show all competitors - there were 2 nice R32 GTR's at the practise but arent showing any times on natsoft. Anyone know what happened to them and what they ran?

Adz picked it. the track was definitely slower than last year. :D maybe 1 to 2 seconds off. possibly due to lots of rain during the week and no big events with cars on slicks running for a bit. when I was driving on saturday the track felt very green.

which just goes to show how fast the evo with garth driving is. he still bagged a flat 12 which is stupid fast! well done to those guys.

mark and russ were happy. a 13.6 on the cars first outing was great, and that was with no front drive. the car was toasting the rear tyres for most of the track. apart from that the car ran faultlessly all day. :ninja:

haha, it looks like a drift car!

I wonder if the front drive problem is the same issue they had with the 33 gtr at the Bathurst sprint.

Didnt the BSM cars go through a similar spate of problems a while back?

Regardless it sounds like this car is going to be a total time attack weapon when they get power to all 4.

Big showing for Vi-PEC in its 1st serious event...maybe they can now be considered as a REAL alternative to MoTeC...as they removed the MoTeC that Garth used to run and fitted the Vi-PEC with a marked improvement in the running of the engine.

Considered an alternative to the best ecu in the world,,,settle down tiger.

More like it was Garth's great driving than an ecu change.

I think I know what I'm talking about and Garth was screaming through T1 and up to T2,,,way faster and smoother than anybody else. When you can get off the throttle and get back on it between T1 and T2 says a lot for your driving and car setup.

I think his quick times had more to do with a well sorted suspension and the driver extracting the best from it.

NEIL!!!! HOW DARE YOU!! :ph34r::D:D

Anyone know if the black R32 GTSt from Vic got through the day with no dramas? Hope Russ Jr went well in the little GTSt.

Good times!

I had so much fun. I really under-estimated the track though. It is such a drivers track and suspension is super important and revealed some big weaknesses in my setup. If only I knew a few weeks ago I would have come up for the sat as well. I would have made a world of difference knowing the track. My only practice is on V8 supercars on xbox haha. And they handle better on xbox.

Ending up with a 1:24:3 is good enough for me for first time out. I started on high 1:26s so came down nearly 3 secs.

Quality of cars was outstanding. Blew me away and plenty of inspiration for the lower budget competitors. I hope that superlap continues to do these events. I spoke to the Yokohama guys and they seemed keen enough to continue if they get support. I was plugging a Sandown superlap to the sponsors and organisers the whole time I was there!!! :down:

Oh yeah... and I officiall got the best prize even if I wasn't that fast! Advan RS wheels from the raffle haha! I spent a lot of money (for my budget) getting to superlap so it was incredible to get something back.

Mate what can I say,,,a car I hate,,,won. The man driving it,,,drove it great. Congrats big time to him.

Russ & Marks R34 sat me on my arse,,,most peeps look at the whole picture but I fell in love with the little stuff like the mirrors and the cars start up panel.

Congrats have to also go Mr Versatile as well,,,nice driving mate

Neil.

hey gents!!

Well once again had ball!! really loved the format!

have to say well done the Bel garage boys the Evo looked like a rocket ship on track! also a few other cars not far behind martin & cam, mark well done,

also was great too watch John boston get round the track , loved it! i tried to stick with him in the r35 but the bloody thing was handling like a boat!! i had no chance but got a few lines off him before he got away ! thanks JB

We just got home now and pretty tired but i am going to post a link to a little incar of our drift pig, mark drove it bloody well considering, it certainly was a bit of a handful!

we are rapt with it's first outing and it will only improve from here , looking forward to a few drinks at the nissan/datsun nationals with a few of you a morgan park at easter.

cheers russ

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
