Wakefield + R35 + Willall Tune + Slicks = ?


Recommended Posts

although this is getting off topic, I found my sprint track lap at QR the other week was a full 0.8 seconds faster (58.2 versus 59.0) recorded via the Video Vbox lite versus the transponder thingy on the windscreen they plaster on.

I was hoping you would of said .91 seconds. Im chasing a 56 @ qr in the R32 GTR! :thumbsup:

The unit quotes sampling at 10 Hz and of course as above, using algorithms to factor in velocity etc to improve accuracy. Any more thinking about it than that however makes my head hurt so I will concentrate on driving better. I hope the errors in each unit though are all relative and not random. reliable incremental gains are what we are all after, not just outright times.

back to the topic at hand

You've convinced me Dunc - 18 inch wheels & slicks, Cobb tune and maybe,just maybe an R2.two are all coming soon.

I was at Sandown with my VBOX3i and recorded 1:27.72 V's the NATSOFT 1:27.72.

Each time I have tested a Performance Box/Drift Box or VBOX mini V's my equipment (VBOX3 or VBOX3i) and used at same event where there was the "official" time it was the same.

i spoke to my mate over the weekend - he actually pulled high 1:07s with his R32 (which was my old aust delivered gtr) with mild tune on factory ecu, pads and shagged slicks...this was with 2 people in the car

not bad for a 20yr old car.

the r35 though is definitely in its element on a larger track as its not the smallest or lightest car out there

a postscript to our development with the mighty R35, we have now achieved a 1:00.8x at Wakefield. Incremental mods since we began are E85, coilovers and new slicks. With more setup and experience i reckon we would ultimately see 59.x's - and this is with a road rego car driven to and from the track (slicks swapped in and out of course).

i thought 1.07s in a stock r32gtr was quick...

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
