Brilliant steering as always from Mark- now imagine how that thing would go with some 4WD :down:

Silly question from the peanut gallery... what's the guage attached to the cage, top left of screen? Something highly technical like a "how much balls has Berry got right now" meter????

Yeah, that little sideways on the warmup lap was the lock stops (it doesn't have much lock at all), nice catch Mark :down:

IMO, that really is some excellent driving for a guy who's been to Bathurst twice in two years, in two different cars.

Yeah, we jury rigged an Attessa pressure gauge to it so we could watch the vid and see it. There's your proof it had little if any 4WD.

ahh thanks Benny. thought that might have been it, given what was happening on the track in the few spots i noticed the needle moving- i might get through my gtr backyard mechanic-ing apprenticeship yet!

when's the cars next outing?

well for limited 4WD it looked really well sorted, the couple of moments were in low speed corners... the aero package must be doing its job!

Fark that takes some balls though, very well driven to be so smooth with all that power... look forward to seeing this car develop and decimate all!

im with roy... you guys need to rip out the 4wd and start being awesome!! haha.

nah seriously, you guyz... yous are my heroes. when my gtst grows up... it wants to be the hi octane r34.

well done!

yeah the aero definitely works. it's certainly been put to the test at 320km/h! mark was very happy with the amount of aero grip the body and wing were generating and drag can't be too bad either as it's getting a fair old whack of pace both up mountain straight and back down conrod... :thumbsup:

That's epic. I'm going to have to add this event to the "to do" list I reckon!

That 4WD seems to be working only from wheel-slip. So it's like the longitudinal sensor just isn't working or giving feedback to the ATTESSA at all.

I too brought up a 2WD conversion, simply because it does get such good traction, even better if it wasn't carrying 100kg of useless (at the moment) 4WD running gear, but, we're all of the opinion converting it to 2WD would take too much away from it still being a GTR.

Should try FOSC at Easter..it's cheaper...but think it would clash with Targa Tas :thumbsup:

I was telling Brighty about it..He had a good weekend up there with Hi Octane Team but had issues so could of done a better time..

For the price paid..How many runs/sessions did entrants get Benny??

Plenty, I think Mark did in the region of 55 laps, and we missed all day saturday and packed up before the final two sessions sunday. Basically, you could easily wear your car out if you wanted to I reckon.

I think it's a stretch to say having the three litre engine takes much away from it being a GTR, certainly much less than removing the 4WD system anyway. Having a 3 litre is no bigger modification from factory than having high mount turbos in my opinion, and Giant's car is still on low mounts and factory exhaust manifolds.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
