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! :)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By PranK · Posted

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
