Great event with the sun even breaking through the clouds every now and then.

PB for Ant and I've finally got a time for PI!

Results

I'm stoked with a 48. Faster than I expected on tyres that are now 14 months and 7 track days old.

Missed ya Bris.

You'll have to make up for it at deca :)

What an awesome day! The forecast all week was not looking good for the weekend and certainly Sat lived up to the hype. However Sun proved to be pretty good weather for racing at PI.

After a day of mixing it up with slick shod GT3 cup cars, ex V8 supercars and pretty much any other car you can think of, I ended up with a new PB of 1:47.14 besting my previous by around 2.5 secs. To say I'm wrapped would be an understatement as my goal for the day was to get into the 47's let alone a low 47. Big thanks to Russ - without us trading times and having a ding dong battle via the timing sheets all day I probably wouldn't have pushed as hard as I was.

Despite a small group from SAU which is the norm these days at track events :P it is a good indicator of the depth of driver talent when every class we were put in (rightly or wrongly :banana: ) has an SAU member at the top of the tree - congrats to all and once again an amazing effort by Russ :blink:

Dane - where were you? I would've thought with some Radicals on track you would've been there for sure. That was no ordinary Z...put it this was the model badge at the back said 600Z instead of 260Z giving us a clue - passed me on the straight like I was standing still :rolleyes::banana:

Incar vids to follow later in the week.....

What's the go with the 260Z?

I've been informed it's an ex-Nascar engine with custom 4wd system in the old 260Z shell. Kevin Mackrell is the driver. Absolutly crazy speed in a straight line!

That's what I'm there for :D

Ahhh yep, I've seen that Zed do a hill climb before. Very, very quick!

I was at Presidents day for the Porsche Club on Sunday as I wanted my lady friend to go for a ride in a club car and see what it was all about. Would have liked to come down though.

The day ran pretty well and we got heaps of sessions. An outback went front on into the outside (?) wall at the hay shed. There was talk

of carnage the day before though. Aquaplane and crash on the front straight?

Awesome to finally see a GTSt being punted well and showing how quick they can be....lol i just never had the talent to prove the point >_<

That's not true mate. You've just gotta stop tinkering and start driving!!!

Fark you guys are flying.

Well done, super effort...

Maybe one day I'll get back out there...

Oh crap, starting to sound like Brisby.... :(

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
