Hi All

Just wondering if there'd be interest in those who've got GT-R's would be willing to partake in a bit of MC Motorsport action this season. We'd be looking at a team of 4 plus someone who would be in reserve should one of the main team can't make it. It starts soon:

DATES:

8-Feb-04

7-Mar-04

11-Apr-04

9-May-04

Finals 19-Jun-04

COSTS:

It is $55 per round. You must pay for round 1 and round 4 upfront and preferably before the 1st round occurs.

So, if you've got an R32, R33 or R34 GT-R, let us know if you'd be interested.

Cheers

Brendan

Yeah, sorry. You're right. CAMS 2S license is required for competing in the MC Motorsport Challenge. You'll need to be a part of a CAMS approved car club such as AFARCC and then apply for your CAMS license (there's an office in Dog Swamp). And yes you can compete on the temp license they give you once you pay. I also think you can fill out a form for 2S license on the day.

Is there no one with a GT-R in this group who'd like to do a bit of competitive driving? If not, how about anyone with a Skyline who'd be interested in committing themselves to a season of MC?

yeah i have to apologise but due to distinct lack of funds .... maybe next year. Pity cos it would be a lot of fun.

Micko - its more for fun than serious competition ..... thats how most of the other car clubs are looking at it anyway.

Thanks Sumo. Maybe we look at going in for next season then. Micko, as for not having enough experience isn't really an excuse with MC, as Nizmo said, it's more fun than competitive. But then again, we felt County Dump Racing were playing for Sheep Stations a couple of times last year. It was my first bit of 'competitive' driving when I did it last year. I went in thinking I can only get better. Unfortunately my tyres got worse - so although I had a great time going sideways, my times didn't get much better ; )

So we have a tentative team for possible entry next season (maybe) - Nizmo, Micko, Sumo and myself. Any other possible takers.

Cheers

      The answer to this would be I followed the documentation from Turbosmart which said each spring pressure could achieve a maximum of 5x it's rated pressure so the included smallest spring being the 6psi had a range up to 30psi. I went with the 12 because I figured it'd likely hover around 15psi as a base pressure however I was obviously wrong.    I have a log here that I'll dig out that is purely wastegate and no Mac valve controlling anything.   If it can't hold anywhere near 12psi, does that mean the straight gate is virtually wide open during a run? Or am I thinking about this all wrong.   I could Tee Piece into the cooler pipe pre intercooler where the wastegate gets its feed, and send that to the ecu and see how that reads, I just don't have a spare pressure sensor currently that's all.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      lol nice, I wouldn't worry about sanding back the filler to check for rust then. Yep very much a thing. Personally I don't do the panel beating, its very easy to have a panel beater sort that out for you. If they aren't doing any prep work the actual panel beating generally doesn't take long at all.  Have you taken before pictures before you started this project? I'd be keen to see the before and afters when you're done.

      Some good discussion in here, for the most part I can't really add too much to it - thought I'd add some notes to the datalog screen shot that probably aren't news to anyone but a good prop... this is assuming 25psi-ish should be the boost ceiling given the first post refers to 23psi.   To state the obvious, this issue seems super weird.  Turbo speed seems pretty lethagic to build, like the turbo isn't getting as much drive as it needs - and it doesn't help that wgdc keeps rising AFTER boost target then completely shuts duty at a point, which in theory should have the straight gate dump heaps past the turbo and funnily enough causes the huge drop off.  It seems like pretty blunt boost control tuning but I'd not call that the primary issue, so much as possibly not helping the situation. I'm curious, what does a pull look like with purely mechanical boost control?  Like purely wastegate?   There are things in this log and story that make it sound like there could be a significant restriction in the intercooler piping or something - but then it's also overshooting boost target which is NOT what you'd expect with a restriction.   I can see where people are coming from with the non-linear wastegate bypass (not that any valves are linear for this kind of thing), but it still doesn't make sense that it can't hold <20psi on a 12psi spring.    Have you, or can you try measuring pressure pre-intercooler?  Be pretty interesting to see what's happening there vs in the intake manifold - sorry if I've repeated old ground, I've kinda skimmed over but I could have missed something.  In terms of comments regarding the wg spring being closer to boost target, I haven't used a straight gate but part of the reason for having close to wg target is about fighting backpressure as well - I might be wrong, but I'd have thought that part of the point of using a butterfly valve like the straight gate does you actually don't have to resist pressure at all, on EITHER side of the gate.   It shouldn't need too much leverage to start opening, the spring being more to do with where it triggers opening as opposed to resisting boost & EMAP, though smarter people can correct me if I'm wrong there.

      Ah the car is a complete shitbox and not even worth a respray lol, for a professional to do it would probably cost 15k because of all of the dings and stufd but I was keen for a side project. Also solved the problem of being bored haha. But with the rust yeah I can always fix that in the future, not a huge issue for me. I found out yesterday that when a dent is created a high spot is created around it (the crown) and to fix it I either need to tap the edges or just sand over it. Which is what made my filler work a bit confusing originally lol.
