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

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.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
