Troy,,,I've done a late 39 there,,,so a high 37 or a late 38 would be my limit. As usual it's all about money. I'm almost always on used tyres and this time with a shit motor. That said I don't really care,,,I had a ball. If early 40's are where I'm at then thats cool as well.

Evil,,,I'll never ever get my head around why you guys are not doing the state rounds,,,remember I'll be doing the day/nighter. I was the quickest in the dark last time.

Ben,,,I wish,,,I don't have auto blip,,,I only have no lift shift up through the box.

Neil,

Im doing the club rounds this year, depending on next year I may do the state rounds, but also looking to do MRA.

but I love OP GP that much I want to go out on the 12th september!

just racing on south circuit on the 13th for club round...

was a fantastic day. Went down to watch my younger brothers race their Bronze EG Civic (class 3b?).

Was an awesome spectacle to see the Advan GTR go round the track!

it's a cool car mate. and very quick. to be honest I was surprised he runs with no cage or any safety gear. I know that half the reason it's quick is weight, but even a decent half cage would be a good idea for a car doing 46s. no point giving up safety just to save a bit of weight. great car though, I could see myself in one for sure. :P

Some really quick cars!

Were the Radical SR8's ignition problems sorted? The owner is still getting familiar with the car hence the current times. The 1:28 was done by Garth Waldron when the car was having ignition issues ie missing at various points throughout the rev range. It should still go quicker. The same car did a 56 lap of Wakefield with the same issues!!

So is the Radical running the same V2.4L V8 engine as used in the Caterham Levante? Is it supercharged? Was reading about an Exige buildup using the RST Performance V8. Look like killer engines that weight less then 90kgs for 500hp! Or is it running the Radical V8 that is made from Hayabusa heads? I understand the Radical V8 is fair bit more expensive then the RST V8

yeah it's 2 X hyabusa type thing. similar to the hartley V8 ( http://www.h1v8.com/page/page/1562068.htm ) and I think a couple others that now have a V8 using 2 hyabusa heads. and it's NA. still I would guess at least 400hp and probably as much as 500hp even NA and the car couldn't be more than 400kg. not a bad power to weight ratio!

Russ,,,check out this site,,,or have you already done so???.

You know you want one.

Just noticed this thread. It was a top day with awesome weather, best day we've had all year i reckon. It was great catching up with a few of you, and those i havent yet, i will try to next time around. Great video Neil! :happy:

The Radical SR8 is 380hp and 600kgs from memory. Yes it is based on 2 Hayabusa engines. Relatively inexpensive too, considering the times it is running...

That link above is I believe where he bought it from.

Sorry Duncan- I should have introduced myself. I was the chick chatting to Mark Berry on the grid at the start of the day when you stopped by to chat. Great driving - I've got some (what I think are!) good pics somewhere. Will find and send through.

Any pics of the R34 on the track?

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
