Hey Woolly.

i came out for a look today. i haven't been to a TSS round all year due to not running a crewing for our car this year.

i love the look of your car and the CR Kai's are porn. im very pleased to see some people finaly trying to make a jap car look like a jap car and not using rubbish bits on them.

The r33 gtst has to be one of the most under rated cars for circuit racing. I wish i liked them enough to want to own one because there is some really cheap ones around now but they all follow such a bland Wog spec look.

anyhow was you close to getting caught up in that crash today? any idea what happened.

Hey Damo

Was behind robbie when the crash happened, got it all on the in car camera. I dont think Greg new Robbie was coming through.

Ben, not sure what you mean by "how did my rear windscreen go today" or was that for damo?

Hey. Woolls, you beat me on the track, but I beat you in the points.....by 1!!!! That was courtesy of you Nunny and Finny going TOO fast LOL :P

Hopefully I will get my beast sorted before the next round. Got to take the gearbox out and find out why I cant get it into 4th and find out why I was running around with about 200kws instead of 222. I should of been lapping in the 62's at least not the 4's and 5's. :thumbsup: and even worse in the final.

Either the ECU has retarded the timming etc because there is a problem or when I fiddled with the boost control in the wet, ive inadvertently changed something.

I had plenty of grip with the new treads, but no mumbo!!

I'm not too worried about points. peter, leigh and myself had some great clean racing. (I was wrapped with a pb of 60.8 and taking the checkered flag) :banana:

ps, 62 still isn't going to be quick enough :D

I was watching some of your video's, it was good to watch myself in one of them :banana:

Well its turns out the points I worked out were wrong and so were the official ones too!! They didnt apply the 1min penaltys' :( I didnt beat you on the track or in the points LOL

And no, 62's wont be quick enough, I maybe possibly could have should of been into the 1's with the new tyres. 62.3 is my PB but since then its been a struggle with one thing or another.

That checkers must feel good, its something that has eluded me so far :(

P.S i sent you a message on youtube :)

well that paints a very clear picture of what happened. that was very untidy. i thought the RX7 cam out of it clean but it appears my eyes were not working as well as they should have been. fec that would have been scary for nunn having a rotor fly backwards into your way.

and that rotor could have ended up a lot worse the way it went through the traffic.

thanks wools.

PS wools you need a far better shift light arrangement. i sagest putting it up on top of the dash as thoes over revs will hurt you one day.

I guess im lucky I wasnt that close to the action! :):( You have to be careful on the opening lap into the hairpin or somthing like that will happen if your not paying attention.

wow guys, i just saw the clip. some core racing. You guys are so lucky to be competing. My turn will come very soon I have just commenced a build of a 26/30 in my newly aquireed R32gtr, I'm not skimping, but will upgrade even more once she is built and my sponsors confirm for the 2010 season. I recently came accross the cams website but when it came time to choose the license i didnt know which one to pick, plus im not affiliated with a club, is the LCCT the club everyone joins in the nw area? benifits are? There is one guy i have spoken with once or twice on here and power cruise when we both competed, the other Damo from L'ton, surely he'll give me an answer? lol, cheers Damo

Your car sounds like it should be a good thing. Targa A maybe?

You need to apply for a provisional circuit license if you want to run rounds of the super series.

I'd suggest joining the Hobart Sporting Car Club or the MG Car Club as both of these will get you a $20 discount on your entry fee each round.

Funny how what actually happened is so different to the story told back in the scrutineering bay... :)

Unfortunately the rotor didnt come off that easy, as it backed over the ripple strip it hit the sump pretty hard which caused a decent oil leak. That was the only reason he pulled out of the last race.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
