Man, that is some acceleration.

Not really for this thread but - Abit of update, very disappointed this weekend.

Getting the car ready for Round 5 of the NSW SS Championships, stripped the engine for a freshen up, put new head gaskets in (some supposedly really good sodium filled head gaskets). Got it tune'd on the Dyno, made good power.

Some time later, started it up to load it on the trailer and the engine shat itself.

Looks like the new head gasket gave way and now I have soup in the sump.

There goes any further chance to defend the class championship - not sure if I have sufficient funds to fix the engine in time for next round.

Looking back, its been a wild ride:

Racing in Year 1 - First time ever driving a car on the track - 2nd place Class 3A

Class 3B Champions in Year 2

Hopefully, I get more chances in future to continue to drive competitively, now, I'm just feeling tired...

Circuit: Barbagallo Raceway

Car: Mazda RX7 FD Series 6

Tyres; Bridgestone RE55, 225/50/16

Driver:Ashly Barnett

Time: 1.01.10 (my best qualifying lap of 2008)

Camera: POV1

Interesting race, started rear of field in reverse grid race. Ended in a crash, but the camera stopped 1 corner before the crash. Lookout for the missed gear on the first lap, this how to damage a PPG Dog Box.

To watch the race from the other 3 cars including the crash go to this link.

I'm getting the Go Pro Motorsport Wide next week, so should have some video from Wakefield on 28th July. Speaking of which, if anyone is going make sure you come say hi.

i picked one up on friday and had a play on saturday with it at Wakefield. It wasn't too happy mounted on the rear parcel shelf due mainly to the light difference from inside to outside so i'll be mounting it to the dash for future events. I did a couple of sessions with it stuck to the drivers rear 1/4 window and they came up ok.

bit of a slow session here 1:10s-1:11s at best with the camera on the 1/4.

bit cranky i didn't get my last session with the 1:09 as i had to copy everything off the sd card and it took too long to get it off between sessions. 15min of vid is about 500meg and the max it can use is a 2 gig card. Might have to invest in a second card for future.

last session from Lakeside yesterday in my ~200rwkw Sil80. PB lap of 59.87 is the first lap on the video. Still needs some more suspension sorting, so it should get a bit quicker yet.

Geez shes a bit loose in the rear end....10 points for holding on to it :D

That was great driving, i can see why lakeside requires alot of skill to go fast.

Thought I would put a couple up :)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
