lol... yeah I know mate. Nothing wrong with aiming a "little" high... Which is why Im curious to see some times posted and type of cars and power and tyres they're running with.

But 1:16s is what I'll aim for. Thanks for that.

When i had my 6sp V35, i was lapping around the 1:15's. The car was stock engine wise, but i did have the full NISMO suspension kit including swaybars and it made a huge difference. As a guide, when an instructor jumped in to show me what the car could do, he had no probs getting by cars who were lapping a few seconds quicker then me. In his opinion they are a very very well balanced car, and we both found that it was extremely good through the corners with the NISMO suspension.

Needed more people buying stuff imo. I'm not that scary am I?

On the contrary, it's the people you hang around with; like me.

I think that pre-event marketing via an occasional post & flyer could help - what do you think?

and I (and any other randoms) really appreciated it! amazing stuff :laugh: my first time ever in a GTR, and for it to be on a track was just fantastic.

My big double thanks to ando; firstly for organising the day. How smoothly and enjoyably the day ran should be taken as a credit to yourself and everyone who helped out.

Secondly, thanks so much for the two sessions of instructing. I really feel like i made progress in getting to know the limits of my car that i just wouldnt have without your help, sometimes all we need is a good mate to tell us to grow a pair!

Bed time for me. do not pass go, do not collect 200 killerwasps.

Goodnight all!

Wow missed this post!!! Sean, dude you are more than welcome! We all have to push the boundries of confidence, and as you said it just takes someone to whack you in the helmet a few times :ph34r: , scream at you not to brake and grow some, to realise that HEY i CAN take that corner faster :thumbsup:

You did bloody well out there and will only get quicker as time goes by!!!

big thanks to everyone that mad the day great.. had a ball.. will definatly be going back again and again!

Big thanks to ando who came out with me to instruct for my first time around the track.. was a big help, could feel myself get a bit quicker during the day!!

Ha you are more than welcome champ! Sorry for acting like a stunned mullet at first, i was just going a zillion miles an hour trying to make sure everything was getting underway!!! Really wanted to jump back in with you towards the end of the day to see how you were going! You were looking quick out there from what i saw anyway!! :ph34r:

Thanks for the kind words peeps! Glad everyone had a ball, i look forward to the next one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:ph34r:

does anyone have a pic of the little red rocket clio lifting the back wheel coming onto the straight?

I was behind it a few times and was amazed it got a good 3-5 inches of air on the inside rear!

Erica snapped this one, i think its at turn 2

I couldnt agree more Ando,

The biggest lesson I learnt from my passenger who has done Wakie a fair bit in his Volvo (hahahahaha) was to have a little faith in your own ability, relax a bit, stop trying so hard and just work on one turn/corner at a time and most importantly trust what the car is capable of. Once I did that I managed to go from 1:20's down to sub 1:15's

I know its not uber fast or anything and I still have a lot to learn but I could tell how I was getting better and better each run, I still have a long way to go but Ill get there...........................................................................

.................................................................................

.........................................................one day

Hopefully next time Ill spend less time in the grass

Yeh my pics will be on the DVD soon, in full resolution and without watermarks in case you want a bedroom wall sized print.

Nice video Eric, now I wanna make a movie next time around :nyaanyaa:

Thing is I hate rendering times when making movies. Even these photos took me the past three days straight to process, edit and render

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.

      By Duncan · Posted

      The pressure light likely has a different sender to a pressure gauge, its been too long for me to remember for sure. Just have a look for another sender down near the oil filter. If you are confident in your rewired pressure sender reading correctly, you can be pretty sure it is just the dash light's sender failing, it is a pretty common thing.

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That is a series 1 front end (grill, bumper, headlights). I'm not sure if you are trying to confirm if your whole car is series 1 or just the headlights, but the build date and vin# on the plaque in the engine bay would be the best reference for what it was when it left the factory (noting a lot may have changed over the years)
