If you own a Skyline then any attempt to get aero will odds on ruin the look of the car. (IMO) Just make it loud and move around on the track under power :(

If you want to go aero then buy a 180SX or an RX7, their styling looks cool when you go the whole hog with spoilers etc

Haven't had a chance to post it before....top work Russ :(

Awesome time :( and I want to see you repeat that at PI to see what you can wring out of it :/

Yeah the sweeping corners encourages me that I could get a 49-50 at PI with the current setup. :D

People have thought for a long time that I was on drugs for saying that a sub 1:50 should be a no brainer. NSW lad in his S14 did a 1:47 in shitty conditions and your EC time is within 1 second of his. I have long thought a 1:48 would be on the money for my car. Have only had the one run there with the wayward wheel alignment and old Bilsteins. Never got to run again with my Teins and half a clue of the gears i should be in. :(

So, you are in charge Russ, want to see sub 50s and you nibbling at the bum of all these GTRs :(

Yep.

Before the new setup too! Anyone know of PIARC or similar events at PI? I couldn't find it on their website :)

PIARC was on a couple of weeks ago, so wont be one for a while.

Circuit Familarisation and Superkart Races

July Island Sprint

by aero i meant front aero. my car has no front diffuser, no flat surface, nothing.

I you ran a 1.47 at EC a 1.48 should easily be on the card for your car at PI. It'll kind of make the gtrs look pretty bad if you can do it since they have an extra 50-120kw atw more than you and 4wd and they only lap one or two seconds quicker.

If I reinforce my boot/wing you should borrow it. Last time at PI it put some nice dints in it. Might help with a bit of rear end grip.

Hanging to try left foot break tap into turn 12 under power one day at PI. Think theres some time in it. Heard a supercar guy talking about it to transfer the weight foward for that turn. Sounds the go.

I think my little wing is doing the job. It held really well on turn 1 at EC.

I would like to try the supercar one though!!!

I agree, its pretty easy to do there to in my car as its all 4th gear stuff. even up over the crest . A bit of left foot braking while balancing the loud pedal seems to work well through there.

Russ, if you want to do Dutton again this year!??! We will start having to make plans. Unless you are upgrading co-driver on me

Sorry I just read your post. I was thinking of giving it a miss this year and put the cash into my new build but if you're really keen you may be able to twist my arm...

Some in car vids of me from the event.

Good lap

Bad turn 1 and 2 haha

Troy Brisby = KEEN

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
