brisby, my car is so far from 22s its not funny. id love to know where 4 seconds is hiding... i can account for 2 secs max with the current set up. i will be back to give it a red hot go. Today was meant to be about shaking the car down and giving Mick some seat time so effectively i had one session with 2 clear flying laps.. i also had a whole session of datsuns and rexs spinning in front of me..

im much more keen to get back to PI to smash out a time there... corners ftw!

Well done Dean with the 1.22. nearly had a RWD on top of the list for a change.

Dean Taylor did a 1:22.0!!!!!!

Thats an awesome effort.

BBGTR was looking very strong out of the last corner, and boy does she let out some flames.....

Thats awesome! Good work Dean, i was starting to think that i was insane for thinking more of the later model rwd boys should be up in the 22 bracket! The Datsun boys are flying too these days :)

Some Footage

Session 2 - 1.21.9 lap -

Session 3 - Red Flagged :w00t:

Session 4 -

Session 5 - Short - Memory card was full - didn't empty it from the last session

Session 6 - Didn't bother with camera - did fastest lap of the day 1.21.5 :P

Hey guys thanks for the kind words

Car was good- suspension upgrade helped.. I cant believe a didnt play with it or change it after owning the car for 5 years!!

definately more time in it currently- i think another second.. getting close to teens!!

Dean

I had a great time yesterday.

Was SOOO thankfull that the rain held off all day .

sorry to see Chris' car had engine dramas, hope its nothing to major.

Highlight was the run where I was chasing mick in ryans car. SO nearly had him at turn one ( he locked up big time lol)

Just struggled on 3 or 4 tight corners to get lateral grip. Was very entertaining though.

Had a major moment and dandy kink. pushing a lil hard only me and Wayne- Rchoo will know how much of a moment it was lol.

BRIS best for the day was 1.28.5. Not sure how to get to 22s , 24s is reachable with tyres and a few other lil adjustments,

Here is a pic my lil bro took just before lunch.

Cheers Guys see you all at Deca

With the same turbo setup and brake setup your car can definitely do a 1:22, i dont know what you have with regards to suspension but my old Bilsteins were not anything great so.... you need to bin the 18s and go lighter 17s with decent rubber :(

I am mega pumped and catn wait to get back behind the wheel later this year. LOL i bet my car will be slower with all the new mods :(

Brian track days require 2 balls... and i hadn't been off yet so thought it was about time. I had a great day, dipped into the 1:26s for the first time, was trying to go quicker than the Sil80 coz that always makes for a bit of fun but little mistakes cost me. And i have less power so i guess it was expected there.

As for the 1:22's there is a big difference at sandown between a car like the brisby mobile that has 260rwkw and the suspect 220rwkws sil80. I'd say thats a good number of seconds right there.

Twas a great day with no rain coming in the end, started to be able to pick off a few of the faster wrx's in my group too which is always fun.

Bad luck to Chris stacey too, hope it turns out ok.

what ever happened to the days when group 1 was full of rediculously quick gtr's and getting into a track day meant you had to enter as soon as the forms came out!?

what are the hsccv days like? i'm addicted now

I think you might want to upgrade your brake pads and fluid before going to the next one,

those brakes were overheating in 2 flying laps

Combination of the GFC, Targa and softness on the account of the rest..... :D

Yeh, Sandown is all about grunt. But my 23.1 was with 230-235rwkws as i was only running 15psi. At PI i used 18-19psi to do the 52 flat. So i did a 25.2 at Sandown with my old ICE tune and the 10cm housing which was a laggier 222rwkws. I ran Dutton / Sandown with 260 and went slower at 1:24.2 or something :D Not posting to fly flags, simply pointing out that i think Ryan needs to throw his car on the dyno and get the tune looked at, i suspect its simply not making the power it should.

As others have said, power rules at Vic tracks, Sandown being the most obvious example, lol probably the reason i like it... :P

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
