Phillip Island 16-06-2013 After a wet start in the morning the day got better. Still very cold, had a lot of trouble getting heat into the tyres. Couple of issues spun the rear yoke in the tail shaft

Ive always known Lakeside to be a high a speed circuit but thats the first time ive seen the speedo on a vid too, thanks Callum!

and just saw natsoft too - fastest lap of the meet - top work!

Do you not watch my vids Chris? lol :P

thanks heaps ben, good to see ya yesterday.

watching mine afterwards i am relying too much on safe understeer and its probably costing me time and killing my front tyres. i will adjust the balance for next time.

looks like the aero helps my mid corner speed a fair bit compared to yours.. weights being about the same 1190 no driver? and i have a lot of tyre too, 235/255

It's a fantastic little track Chris, you need to find the time to get up here mate :)

I'm 1240 no driver from memory when I last corner weighted it.

Mine's screaming for a front splitter, it improved with undertray, splitter hopefully a step better. If I can get the front to tie up a bit better I can wind some wing back in on the rear.

Love it ^^ , looks like it wants to lift the tyres off the ground under hard brakes!

and man toffy the amount of lock you need to wind in to turn that thing, im getting tired just watching !

explain the gearbox.. simple 3 speed yea? looks fuggin fun but hard work!

yeah three speed (think of starting in 2nd and that's about it) , i need to adjust it a lil better so i don't have to do a z to go from first to second :blush:

Toffy from 8:00 onward is madness. Cars all over the place.

yeah that whole race was like that, it got worse in memory , the top 8 cars ar within 5 hundredths of a second of each other in memory (although it doesn't seem it in the vid ). it all comes down to qualify/start line take off pretty much

They are nice vids. I cant help but think that the footage you are getting is better then what I am getting out of my Radcam...will have to try some of the settings on my thing.

Also, do you know where the timing beacon was located on the weekend, by my vids I was doing 1:07-1:08s on the short track, but I suspect I was backing off after the finish line and I suspect the beacon was on the back straight now that they have me 6 seconds slower?

The timing was screwed up on the short track. Winton timing gave me a 1.10.x, racechrono gave me a 1.08.x and video gave me a 1.08.x

The long track timing was working correctly though.

As you say the beacon may have been somewhere else for the short track....?

I use the Go Pro HD's in centre metered mode all the time. This means that it takes light readings from the centre of the video and not from inside the car.

I'm cutting the vision of mine at the moment, but this is in my brothers car (white 33 gtst).

Got a couple pieces of lightning in the video, crazy stuff.

Watch out Stagea it's coming for you!

Yeh, its doing everything pretty well. I just need more seat time and need to get the general balance back to how it used to be which is to make it a bit pointier so i can drive it a little more on the throttle mid corner and get some better drive out of corners.

What is done to the front end of your car? It seems to need more steering angle then mine...but that could be tyres?

Good vids guys :thumbsup:

Great to see the silver beast in action Troy. As for Richos steering angles...maybe its a 33 thing as mine seems to require a fair bit (will have to check my winton footage to compare) so much so that it feels uncomfortable to keep my hands on the steering wheel in the same positions

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.

      Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
