righto off to do battle again today!

Got a new Z06, GT2, GT3RS and a bloody great viper to deal with, ohh and nearly forgot those 2 insanely fast EVO's with the 2.4 litre engines (4g64 block) running GT38 turbos.

Also seems we have been discovered by the europian racing series as we now have guests teams showing up to race here for testing before their seasons start in march. All thanks to Sky sport broadcasting our race series in the UK. What the bet we will have BTCC cars here in the near future. Gotta feel sorry for my battered old warhorse, but skylines rule !

lol you have to pick the target. I remember when racing in the might 'woos there were 2 guys that you had to turn into before they turned into you...otherwise you would loose the momentum not them. made for some big bills really.

good luck chris.

done and dusted!

popped a coolers hose in race one after a poor quaily so started 9 out of 28for race one, seems some one forgot to inform me that they conbined the free practice and quailifying into the same session. So here i am bedding a set of front brakes in, grrrrr although did get to 5th before popped said bastard hose.

Race 2 start 28 and finished 4th cant tell you what a difference mountain runners 4wd controller made! the old warhorse flew the flag in the last race but a dose of very pi@#ed off driver does help every now and again.

But man that 8.4 litre viper is just brutal and with 345 rear slicks it just hauls butt

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
