agreed. I reckon loftus in his starlet would be pretty hard to beat in the FWD class or 2L class. coming down the straight it sounds like it's about to suck you into it... definitely gee him up for it dave.

Get to see Lofty this weekend at the state champs in the starlet... :laugh:

Would be great to see that car run at Superlap! :down: So cute :laugh: haha

Thanks zebra.

BTW Noddy not so funny did you see Mythbusters and dimples with aero.

Might throw some dents in THe SLot Car. No I don't need any help with this fatz.

Should have just brought the car to Melbourne for the weekend, you'd have hundreds of speed dimples!

Stuart: That is a really nice offer mate, hopefully they won't be needed :D

How bad is the scratch on the Octane R32 from testing at Eastern Creek last week?

Must of been one hell of a ride!!

Hi Bozman1,

Here are a couple of photos of turn one just after Russ's "moment" ...

large1773.jpg

large1772.jpg

There was a brake issue but Russ managed to slow the car with the handbrake heading into turn one - pretty amazing bit of driving really. It just touched the wall on the inside of turn one. It did look like a pretty wild ride though.

We were out there last Wednesday with Mark Berry doing some aero testing on the R34 ... the R34 is now running one of our Aeromotions Dynamic Wings ...

There is a video here of the R34 on the test day at Eastern Creek shot by Andrew Hawkins from Motive DVD with some in car footage of the R34 ...

There is an article here with photos from the test ...

hey john

yeah mate , i had skid marks as long as the ones in the photos! lol

i dont want that to ever happen again , took me really by surprise, brakes had been perfect all day.

i was probably doing about 265-270 when i rolled off the throttle and went for the brake and it went to the firewall! twice , then i went for the handbrake

the car is okay , mark reckons it will buff right out! haha... should be right in a few weeks, pulled engine and gearbox out it, while we were at to make way for the new holinger :blush:

seeya soon

russ

p.s oh my god the r34 is handling like shit!! video shows just how bad. the 4wd is STILL an issue and now it has quite a bit more power so it just makes it harder to handle. i hope it is sorted soon

I saw the marks on the track (not your undies) a couple of days after you were at the creek and thought wtf!? haha

I was suppose to be there on the same day but had a date clash.

It is a reality check and makes you realise how quick you are travelling at around the creek. Well done on the save....could have been much much worse :)

Watched the vids of the R34...looks like it is full time RWD :huh:

yeah thanks john, it sure was a moment i wont forget

the r34 doesnt look real nice at the moment, but some headway has been made this week

the worst thing about the video is, there is a 50 mm pressure gauge for the 4wd pressures right in front of the gearstick , great when your looking from the drivers seat

but shithouse when your trying to look on the video!! hahaha

Benny, I think they are planning on only having 12 cars on the track in each Open sesion (which will probably be the biggest groups)...or around that figure. As long as people watch there mirrors and car's are of similar speed, I cannot see why you would not have a clear track for the whole session, as it is nearly 4kms in length.

Pro class will be even less traffic :bunny:

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      S1 headlights?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By WMDC35 · Posted

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
