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 :)

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • 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.
