Christ! Fill me in here folks...... besides smackin someone in the arse last year and being a bit of a prick about it, what else has he done? I've only met him once at a club meet up here several years ago...... and the less said about that the better.

So come on, spill it :)

Was the Vic Supra all noise liek usual or have they finally got that thing working?

unfortunately it was pretty much all noise - 4 seconds faster than my stock supra (with teins, exh & pod) on road tyres.

My goal for the weekend was to try and get fastest RWD in Clubsprint. You can't compete with Evos in low grip conditions (street tyres) on a track like that with lots of hard accellerating out of low speed corners... But it wasn't to be - had issues all day with the right rear toe link coming loose on the 1st hot lap of each session, and adjusting itself to full toe in. Didn't really do wonders for its handling! At least it stayed on full toe in rather than flapping around I guess... missed out on fastest rwd by 0.4sec to one of those featherweight FD RX7s with a 3540 turbo hanging off the side and 0.2s behind Brad Lowe (Fujitsu V8 driver) in one of HDT's new retro Commodores. So can't be too dissapointed.

Root cause of my toe link problem was the amount of oil that's now spewing out of the Tein SS lubricating that bush nicely... unfortunately that didn't dawn on me until about the 4th time I had to stop on the side of the highway to tighten it back up. I just thought the puny 3/8" ratchet set that I brought with me wasn't able to get it quite tight enough. Emptied a can of degreaser on it and the last 400km home was trouble free. The Teins obviously didn't like Eastern Creek the day before.

Anyway, another top event by the Superlap team! Hopefully they'll have another before the end of the year..

and that new HiOctane R34 animal really looks the business! great job in the superlap final too for his FTD and the outright win in its first event! wait till they have time to get it sorted!

I'm sorry we didn't get to meet harry. would have liked to say hello. good result mate. just goes to show you don't always have to be super flash to do well. :sick: make sure you find me next time. i look a bit like brad pitt, only really well hung and with chicks usually following in a neat line behind me. with fatz behind them...

how did you like EC? personally I much prefer OP GP, but EC has it's place too.

loved EC! I prefer higher speed stuff. Turn 1 wasn't as scary or as fast as I was lead to believe, but it goes on forever! I was taking it at about 170 - not really game to look at the speedo until the exit where I hit 180 again. I'll try to upload some of my dodgy video tonight...

Oran park is alot of fun. I like the turn 1 kink, but the next 3 slow turns don't do much for me - the Supra doesn't like having to put power down from low speed. But then from the bridge on its all smiles!

agreed. OP GP turn 1 to 2 can make up good time if you have the large ones and can really pick a good braking point. 2 3 and 4 though there is not much time between a gun driver and an average one. no time made or lost there. but from the bridge to the last turn is where it's at. they all really flow into each other and you need to be smooth, but aggressive enough to grab some curb too.

yeah EC turn 1 is not too scary. I reckon the kink at OP is much harder to get right than turn 1 EC. and if you mess up turn 1 at EC you (mostly) just run wide, unless you really get it wrong and pirouette into the inside wall (which is really nasty), where as OP turn 1 can cause some grief (and often a roll over in the sand trap) if you balls it up.

EC is really a bike track. but still good fun. good for the big power stuff.

That's where you're going wrong!

Pick up your skirt and stop wearing out your brakes, you nancy-boy! :rant: :rant:

Dont worry you're not the only one.

I need bigger balls to do EC turn one, on street tyres i can manage 170k's but there's nothing more left to give. Really want to try it on full slicks

try doing EC turn one at that speed right AFTER the brake pedal on your 350Z has just sunk straight to the floor :P

if your pedal was on the floor there, I'd be starting to worry about turn 2, not turn 1! lol

Great day, with some great cars and great driving. Personally I don't think there was as much on-track action as last year, probably because the standard was raised (as far as I can recall I only saw one car go off track this year)

I would say that they need someone taking tickets at the back gate near the rally school - or at the entrance to the dirt road on the left when you come in the cobbity road entrance - even though I pre-bought tickets I did not need to show them to anyone, so I'm sure people quite easily got in for free.

Anyway, that aside, here's some photos I took. John Boston was great to watch in every car he drove; I could always trust that he'd have the car over the ripple strips, or 2 wheels in the air to make for good photos. But photo of the day went to Jackie Yick in his mental civic with this hang time -

lol, you are the only fag that needs to accelerate between 1 and 2 at oran park big boy. it's because your r31 is such a slow POS that after farting on the brake pedal at turn one you need to increase speed just to make it to turn 2 without the car stalling....

Chris, those are awesome photos mate. Love the variety. the photo of the civic, is that the left hander before heading up to the flip flop? he must have bounced it off the inside ripple strip or something?! un-usual to see some air there (well 2 weels but not all 4). either way it's a great pic, you should send it to him as I'm sure he'd love to have it.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
