It's the VIO POV cam, said it earlier in the thread I think.

thanks guys :3some: still smiling now.

Russ I hope you've got that new nugget of yours ready to go for the weekend too. Hope the shake down is going OK

Yeah the incar setup is a VOI POV. Cost about 1300 with the longer cables and suction cup mount but it was worth every cent - I've already spent 1500 on 2 previous setups that sucked (too hard to use so I kept forgetting) so this is a bargain really. That footage I posted on youtube doesn't do it justice, it records in HD widescreen but I've got no idea how to post the good stuff to youtube.

Nice work, Duncan! I got a few SMSs from Kel on the day letting me know your results. It's good to hear that the hard work has paid off, here's hoping it continues to in the future!

Like Steve-O mentioned, that little ATTESA moment coming out of turn two when you were next to the Commodore looked "interesting..." Obviously the response of the N1 turbos is a good thing, going by that!

Nice one dude :P Nice clean driving in the vid!

Yea nice driving in the vid,,,but please don't think for one sec that Duncan is a nice driver,,,he will give as good as he gets.

I'm not adverse to fixing panel damage and I whole heartedly encourage aggression where it is warranted.

Thankfully we didn't have to talk about it,,,but it was on my mind.

Neil.

ahh well there was a little bump that happened somewhere, I thought we missed but the panel says otherwise.....like Ben said it was only a cable tie to fix (I don't want to know why Neil borrowed the drill, honestly I dont....)

Unfortunately I learned my racing in a single make series with little cars.....with them you didn't really need a gap at all to stick your nose in. In fact the real reason I bought the GTR to race is I got a bit sick of the panel bills. You can see in the vid from race 2 where I almost stick the car up the middle before changing my mind and heading for the outside again.

Nick I've always been pretty unhappy with the 32 n1 turbs but they are all I can run. We are allowed to run cam gears this year and the guys at UAS got the boost to come on a good 500rpm sooner (at the expense of top end, but who cares about that coming out of a corner). I deliberately picked 2nd there instead of the normal 3rd to make the most of the inside line. Anyway, everyone knows gtrs dont oversteer

1 hour at Wakie next up in 4 weeks, including a tyre change. That will be a big acheivement if I can keep it all together, but I have had some luck there before.

lol now the boys are fighting over the crappy jobs. Jas history shows kiwis only seem to forget wheel nuts at rallies, Mark's done a couple of enduros with wheel changes and they didn't fall off :blush:

thanks Geoff! (Steve Bradbury is my hero!) Now all I've got to do is repeat on 5 more weekends before the end of the year lol

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.

      Help please! Hole ontop of box?

      I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box

      So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.

      Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo

      Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
