Thanks guy's I love it.

Ben your a funny bastard. Nice work at targa by the way.

Neil.

Cheers Niel! It really does look the goods, I imagine it'd be a good thing to experiment with susp setups too, would be very responsive to change?

I know its the video thread, sorry to get off topic gents.....

Circuit: Sandown and Phillip Island

Car: R32 Skyline GT-R.

Driver: Me.

Lap time: Phillip Island 1.47.6 and Sandown 1.21.2 (neither of which I got any footage of, :D )

Camera: GoPro Hero mounted on my cage.

Great vid mate, and wel done in your first race! Nice to meet you out there too. Hopefully next time I can hang around a bit longer!

I'm planning on making my race debut at Lakeside next month...

Awsome, I plan on trying to make that event too. what a track to race at. I went out there april last year for an untimed sprint day. there was a race meeting the day after so i guess we were sweeping the track for them. By days end I was clocking regular 60 sec laps. I imagine racing there and on the new surface will be totaly different though.

found some incar form Gatton this year in the same car

And Lakeside last year from early in the day before the battery went flat. I was pulling 5th before the bridge after lunch and got braver onto the front straight. Damm batteries.

cool! yeah, Lakeside has to be the best track I've ever driven! The new surface is a bit quicker. Still bumpy, but its a bit grippier and the turn onto the front straight is wider as is the kink, which is a bit of a shame as its taken a bit of the challenge out of it. Rest of the track is the same, just resurfaced.

Here's my lap of Lakeside in my Supra (sold it last week) earlier this year on the new surface:

  • 3 weeks later...

Circuit: Wakefield Park

Car: Toda Civic - 2litre NA.

Driver: Me - Still learning, so abit messy - better laps @ the end.

Lap time: 68.3 seconds best

Camera: Ebay Digital cheapie from China - Velcro'ed onto a rear bar

9/10

LOL, you are a bigger lunatic then me...i love it :laugh: Great vid!

Thanks..It was towards the end of the day when I slapped on some used 225s to see if it made a difference. Kinda forgot that I needed to warm up the tyres abit more. Previously always using 205s..Interestingly, times dropped by slightly more than a second once the 225s were up to temp..

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree.
