Lsx-438 Wins Nsw State Supersprint Champs


Recommended Posts

I've just made it home from the last round of the NSW state supersprints (Oran Park Day/Night Meet), and understand the Duncan (LSX-438) has won the 2009 state championships.

considering this is over 8 rounds and in a brand new car, this is a great acheivement!

thanks Duncan! yeah just got back too. I am stuffed, it was a looong day.

Results here:

http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results..../2009.ORAN.S2.Y

The whole year and it came down to two tenths and one point. I can't believe it.

How good are these GTR R35's?

We'll try and get some pics and vids up soon.

Well done Duncan,,,great result!!!. :)

I reminded some of the clubbies of their early year comments,,,bloody jap crap my arse.

I wonder if the powers to be will now find a way to ban the GTR from outright standings. :)

It's fitting that it took a GTR to beat John's supercharged clubby after a 3 year reign.

Again well done tiger.

Neil.

Thanks Neil. I've heard rumblings this morning that people are complaining i should not have been in Type 4 without a cage. So it looks like people are questioning it already..

From the rulebook:

Type 4. 3D Sports Sedans exactly as defined in the CAMS Manual. In addition, any vehicle that conforms to Type 1, 2, 3 or SV requirements shall be permitted to employ or use racing "slicks" but if it does so it shall be classified as a Type 4 vehicle.

So, by my reading i've done the right thing?

Anyway it's all good fun, and half luck in the end :)

:D Congrats Duncan, great job, totally enjoyed competiting with all in supersprint series, especially the occassions we ran together, was great!

I think PI should go back on your calender as you are current NSW outright supersprint champion for 09??

Cheers

yes how you read it is exactly correct, there is an "or" there. which may not stop people changing the rules as you've already seen.

depending on how important winning is, 3D may be the best place to run next year on semis. I guess since you were quickest outright you should be right in 4d anyway.

Congratulations again Duncan,

For those that didn't look at the results Duncan also beat a F3, a F3000 and a Radical in the outright standings, looks like those slicks some bloke sold you go alright :D

As for needing to have a cage to run slicks, that's rubbish. I read right the way through the CAMS manual and it doesn't say anywhere that you need a cage. I then rang up CAMS as well and you definately don't need a roll cage to run slicks.

The only exception to this is if event sup regs say you need a roll cage.

Um,,,maybe YOU should look further into the years times mate and the supersprint rules.

Those 3 cars are not allowed in the outright standings.

Think he was only talking about the results for the day, Will be great to see Duncan run a full year on slicks as well to see times from all the tracks, should be a good battle next year between Duncan and Jason Wright in the Blue WRX if he brings it back.

Heres a pic of Duncan in action on slicks..

Thanks for the pic! I'm not sure what class will make sense next year for the R35's. Need to see the rules first (they are being revised in relation to AWD Turbos i believe). I think the gist of it is, no AWD Turbo's in Type 1, and those in Type 2 will not be allowed any modification to anything related/directly attached to the motor (so no engine mods or tune, no exhaust/midpipe). However it sounds like you will still be allowed to run different size wheels and have suspension mods. But we'll have to wait and see.

As for Jason Wright, i dont think he'll have much to worry about!! Last time out at OPGP he ran 1:14.2 i think (on his shakedown run in the new setup) so that translates to a mid 45.x on the short track. I'm just not going to be able to get near that without taking significant weight out of the car. Then again, half of this is about some luck so you never know what might happen :banana:

lol, yeah I was talking about on the day, was that your Radical Neil?

:D

Nice Job Duncan.

But FYI - don't come to Vic with slicks and no cage. There's no friggen way anyone down here lets anyone run on slicks without one. It's been a standard rule at every club day I've done.

Thanks for the heads up Snowy. I've been reviewing the national supersprint regs. Are you entering btw? If so (and/or q. others entering) which class? I have some questions about the "standard" class. I wonder if you can run a tune? I cant see any reference to it in the rules. In addition the rules state "Wheel diameter may be altered from standard to the NEXT SIZE larger or smaller" - so I guess that means R35 owners cannot downsize to 18". They also say legal road tyres only, are RE55's tolerated as legal tyre? They are on the CAMS tyre list so I presume they are ok. However if we can't run 18's then I suppose there is no choice except to run in the modified car class? Thoughts?

RE55's are allowed in standard class but you'd need 19's or 20's.

My advise would be to run the standard wheels / tyres and run in standard class and destroy everyone! :P

PS - I'm not coming at this stage.

Sandown - Nov 3rd

DECA - Nov 7th

ATC Lang Lang - Nov 21st

Mt Buller - Dec 4-6th

+ Wife and 2 Kids

= Pushing it too far if I try and add PI as well. LOL

That being said the race car (R34) is currently not quite right and there is a chance I'll have to miss Sandown and DECA. If that happens I'll be doing PI instead (and probably in the R35 and in Standard Class :) )

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
