Hehe, good to read you are knocking on the door of 49s. The easiest place to make time is obviouly turn 1, but also turn 10 and 11. Straight line it, use plenty of kerb and try not to brake a lot for turn 10, rather wash off speed in turn 10 rather then before it, turn in late and really straight line your braking for turn in to 11. Lots of good time to be made through there and its quicker then you think....but as always, baby steps, the concrete is closer then you think and i have seen cars go in :)

Those watching and epecially those competing...you all SUCK! :D

Cant wait to get out there tomorrow.

There are some crazy times being done by a lot of cars, Civic's in the 41's, 180SX in the 41's plus all the hi-po cars we expected.

Hope ALL the cars get their stuff sorted - it's going to make for some awesome viewing.

There was so many close calls on turn 1, white WRX lost it, gold crapadoor ute lost it(leaf springs puff when will people learn) spun the car back close to the left side concrete wall and somehow managed to miss it, red evo had almost the passengers side rear tire in the air.

And the s15 that lost it past turn 9

Having a blast!

Car's I am driving.

S2000 is getting faster. Hopefully do sub 40's tomorrow.

Lotus is having a couple of little issues. On the Dyno as we speak, and hopefully do sub 40's also.

Honda Civic did a 42.0 which is great for a fwd na.

Benny's Civic is Supercharged and did a 41.2 which is also awesome for a front driver.

Pulse Evo is an 8 with over 400kw atw, good diffs, tyres, light and a top steerer :)

Troy,,,who died and made you the expert. You forgot about the correct turn into 2 which sets up 3 so you carry great speed down the hill to 4 which sets the car up for 5 which is flat stick. enough help from me.

Go the Rotary's in the top 5,,,very cool.

Stuarts doing great,,,15th,,,I'll bet he''s happy so far.

Settle down! Nobody has died, and nobody has made me the expert. My quickest lap around there in my car is a 1:56!. :D: What i do know is that i have driven Russ's car, i know he is a good punter and i know where i found time in my car, a very similar car to his. Its only advice. Fark man! :) Turn 2 is a slow turn and you dont make time there, you can only lose it by trying to make it! :D

How about turn 1, then turn 2, 3 is pretty important that leads you into 4 which sets you up for 5 then have to get brakign sorted for 6 as that dicates your exit and then you have to think about turning for 8, which means the sooner you wind off lock then you can get back on the power for the brief blip up to 9, then 10 leads into 11 then 12...get that all right and you shoudl be close to quick! :)

      Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

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

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
