Hey Mick, congrats on your team winning the Nulon Nats, sounds like you did a lot of late nighters to get you there.

Well done to you for making the comittment mate. Such a fat looking car,,,it almost makes me think that maybe I might start looking at a R34 GTR as my next race car.

The clubby was great fun at KEP and yes it's a pity that was the last time there. I went faster every run but it's was a tall order having never run the car before and just getting used to it with only 4 runs. While I'm used to straight cut sequential boxes,,,it was way different to the Radical. The clubby was not mine so I was nice to it and did no flat changes. Brett told me to show it no mercy,,,but i just couldn't do it!!!. I am booked for another drive of the clubby at a circuit soon, but no way at next years hillclimbs.

I'm big time into refurbishing the Radical at the moment and will run it all year in 2016. I might even build a bigger horsepower motor,,,.

Are you going to run next year,,,word has it we a losing Marulan which is a pity and obviously KEP, so down to 8 rounds.

Cheers

Neil.

Thanks Neil, it was a fair few 1am finishs :/

I am going to do 4-5 rounds next year, mainly chasing records this time

Going to bring the radical next year, nice, keep Paul honest lol

I didn't like Marulan, does not suit the heavy GTR, so not upset it's not coming back next year

Hey Neil, are you signed up for the Hillclimbs yet, are you still going to run the Radical ?

Yea Mick, all signed up and I entered Bathurst today. Unfortunately no Radical this year,,, flat out just ran out of time.

So 3 weeks to refresh the Skyline,,, buy tyres and all that shit.

Cheers

Neil.

haha timely question....also interesting to know

You takin the piss bitch,,, you know better than anybody,,,what if I told you, you've done approx 32 hours on her. Me I'm up around 120 hours and she's still not finished. When the Radical is ready I'll do some non championship events and have her ready for 2017.

I bought a set of Hankook Z221's today for Cheryl, couldn't get the super soft time attack C9's as they just don't have stock or the size, so I had to settle for the C7's. Hope they are better than the Avon slicks from last year.

Cheers for all ya work tiger.

Neil.

Neil the hill climb champion has to defend the crown

Get it right big tits,,, Class Champion and I will do my hardest to win again.

Rumour has it that you are frightened of the stop watch.

Cheers

Neil.

lol that is bullshit. 32 hours. I want to check my bundy card.

My log says approx 152 hours in total, so after subtracting my 120 you ended up with 32, maybe if you turned up on time then your bundy card would reflect more hours worked. Quality hours though.

is there anything in your race calendar at this stage other than the hill climbs?

Bloody oath Matty,

I'd like to take the Radical to some events like this

http://www.leyburnmotorsprints.com.au/

not sure if the Speed on Tweed is still running,,, hopefully it is.

I'm also playing with the idea of the 6 hour at Eastern Creek in the Skyline this coming Easter long weekend, but only if I can join a team that REALLY wants to win. I'm a bit torn with the idea as I would really like to watch Handles run around at Bathurst so unless I can find a team that's serious I'll look at some other events.

Cheers

Neil.

Lol old fart wants more trophies

I feel your pain big fella,,,

Not sure which of us needs therapy more, Me because I want to win everything I enter or at least podium and you,,, that's just happy to make up the numbers.

Cheers

Neil.

I am just happy to be faster than you buttercup

Fair enough big titties.

Only 5 more sleeps to the beginning of another season of racing,,, Can't wait.

Pity the Radicals not finished, but that's life. Pete if you thought the slicks I used last year were soft, you should feel the set I have for the red car. You could actually cut them with your finger nail.

Cheers

Neil.

I've always wondered why I've had lack of rear traction,

Duncan decided to fit his TPMS onto my wheels for the last run at the last hillclimb and checked them with his hand held gauge just to make sure they were working properly. We checked it with another guys gauge just to make sure.

Turns out my tyre pressure guage was reading 7 pounds lower than fact. What a waste of those soft slicks, might have to re-visit them after I wear out the current Hankooks.

Cheers

Neil.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
