Yeah, its my old boat, I am looking forward to see it again when it is on the boil and angry.

How is yours going mate.

yea, it does need a bigger turbo

mines slowly getting there.. just trying to acquire parts to make the thing stupid ;)

I would be interested if any of the 400+ guys track their cars?

Having played gtrs for a while it seems the magic number is 350 at the track

And I'm not talking poofy super sprint shit... More like 30minutes to 1 hour sessions

And if u have what cooling systems you have?

Never a truer word was spoken.

Also mechanical sympathy for the drivetrain is null and void, the drags I found to be the worst offender.

Unless you have big dollar items trying keep it together I assume.

But then a lot of it has to do with the driver, when I had my old boat its driver was rubbish though,LOL .

But like what was mentioned, you rarely see the big cars out on a regular basis, its usually, track day, broken, fixed, drags, broken, fixed and so on and so forth.

Either that or they are "dyno queens".

I hope I win LOTTO soon...........

If I go for 399rwkw ill be ok then :D???

I was mainly interested In your cooling setups

How extreme they are

I'm working on the GIO Gibson 32 next weekend at Sandown, I was hoping to get underneath with the camera... Quite extreme under there, as it was setup for the Sandown 500 I think. Coolers on everything.

Could give you some good ideas... :)

Is there even a such thing as 1 hour sessions at track days?That's mega hard work on the car!!! Weather it has 250kw or 500kw.These are road cars, not v8 supercars

When I was racing bikes and even open track days, we were limited to 20min sessions. 1 hour is murder on any road vehicle

    • 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.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
