wtf straight cut gears in a pulsar?!

haha. what for?

Because of the power it'll be making shortly, what I use it for and the fact they shred stock gears with 100 less fwkw than it'll be making :laugh:

So, any experts care to give their opinion on the skidpan layouts? All I know is it looks like a lot of sliding and fun!

Last time I was there (in August) the Evo drivers were complaining that it was more suited to a RWD car, what's this set up for?

Also, that's my car in the footnote of the last page!

Bugger the EVO drivers :blush: jk

RWD, FWD or AWD it's all about you and your car and what you can do on the day.

I go for the fun rather than the competition and to learn to drive my car better.

Although it would be good to see a FWD win the day, one day.

Exactly Clive. I don't think I'd ever get near the top 10 but it's all in fun. A FWD came second many DECAs ago apparently.

Don't worry, I'm not concerned about winning or doing well. I'm going up to learn the car, makes some friends and have fun. I just find it interesting how people evaluate different layouts.

i've noticed that the event schedule says "Long Wang - Clockwise - 1st Run"

but the diagram lower down with the details of the backtrack events shows the Long wang as "Event 5, 7 & 9 Long Wang - Anti-clockwise"

I'm guessing its going to be run by the diagram, anti-clockwise

haha but it might be fun being a passenger coming for a few spins with you and a few others :P also wouldn't mind going in a 33 GTR to see how they go as i'm currently in the market for one.

Also cant wait until sat night we gonna have a couple of fishbowls or what davo :blush:

im not bringing my car, i broke my leg on my dirt bike a few weeks back :cool:

and yes, yes we are :(

Kieren did you get your super oversteer issue sorted out? :(

Yeah mate, running the same rubber all around and got a matching front swaybar.

It would've been a fun day though, if I survived the long wang.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
