Had a good day on Sunday at the TCC Supersprint:)

Managed 4th outright out of 60 entries with a 1:07.7, 1st & 2nd was the Juno LMP3 running 57s and 1:02s eek.gif and 3rd was the Twin Turbo 1uzfe Celica on full slicks (got me by .1 of a sec)

The splitter held up well despite being 80mm of the deck and ripple strips. a definite improvement on the last one.

I have decided to chase more mechanical grip as all the car wants to do is slide under power, so a few things are on the cards. Im picking up a stagea rear subrame tonight, after tax im going to get a set of wider offset rims and some slicks

some pics from the wend

Well, not much done lately.

25 box is in, s3 auto cross member for ease of installation J. Just waiting on the new yoke and uni to show up.

For the slave cylinder, I went down this path… http://forum.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?topic=148153.0

I’ll let you know how it feels once its bled.

Size difference between standard and hilux

Gear lever was cut down in the past. Tapped a new thread on to it and attached a new gear knob. Tread locked so it doesn’t come loose (hopefully)

And lastly, while at the last sprint day I was told/recommended to put on end plate/fence? on the edges of the splitter.

Again this is a temp/test one so don’t judge too harshly... eventually it’ll just be a 31house bar with a splitter. to be painted..

Cheers mate ;)

R33 gearbox is finally all finished, not because of any issues – just laziness on my part.

The pedal feel is definitely softer with the bigger slave, maybe my left leg wont be as worn out tongue.gif and I must say, bleeding clutch lines is a bitch!

New front Ferodo DS3000’s are done. Don’t rate the fit though as I had to shave down 2mm off each pad and enlarge the retaining bolt hole to get them to fit.

The old pads are a “performance street” pad and didn’t last too long. 1 hillclimb/motorkhana thing and 1 sprints day. About 30 laps of wakie all up, I may of heat spotted them too…

2012-08-11111932.jpg

And I have added some 25mm Bolton spacers to the rear and raised it 1/2in to try and gain more rear traction.

Finally some decent fitment on the rear, fronts came too close to the guards and would foul when cornering i think.

Looking forward to the Fatz’ Mini superlap this wend to blow the webs out before Nats next month.

well looks like i fcuked the LH axle CV joints at Marulan on the weekend. So if anybody has one for sale let me know pls otherwise i'll have to put out of the Nats trackday sad.gif

Other than that, i had a good day. Got down to a 45.112 which isnt bad for my first time there. Ran without the splitter as i didnt want to smash another on their mountains/ripple strip/curb things.

I think that the syncro in 2nd might be on its way out, will not go into it unless you rev match on are at a standstill.

over exposed vid from session 4 shows how slippery these tyres are till they warm up.

you can see how much lower the splitter is.

Turns out the retaining curclip on the LH axle inner CV had popped off. so i pulled the axle out put the clip back in in its place, fitted the axle back up and filled up the oil on friday, with the intention of doing an engine oil change and a test drive on saturday. But due to a flat battery

and my charger going missing i wasn't able to start it til lthis arvo and have found that the exhaust manifold gasket has poopped itself. Axle circlip seems to have fixed the banging issue though.

other issues so far have included a missing gbox oil breather line dunno.gif and oil filter that took 30min to get off and giving me a mad blood blister in the process. 1st world problems i guess.

going to give Garage 7 a call tomorrow and see if i can get one overnight. no treally looking forward to pulling the turbo off 4 days before Nats...

Ended up making it to the Natioanls, had a great time too - really well run event.

The turbo gasket was stuffed and the manifold had a crack in it inthe end as well. Got it all running by friday, talk about cutting it close!

Waterlines are going to be redone in braided or steel after this weekend. the condition of them scared me a little when i pulled the turbo off.

The tax man is going to be generous this year so im thinking of getting a new boot from Fatz

+ the 31house style front bar.

Time for a new beanie too

Everything fixed now :)

DEI Ti wrapped this shit outta everything.

2012-09-07144107.jpg

1st outing, struggled to get heat into the tyres.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khOf1atMQIk

2nd and 3rd will be done tonight.

4th outing with off track due to flatspot/lockup at the end of the straight.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LQn-bL0NWc

This is the reason the car was vibrating/shaking all day, made it very understeery through RH corners. think it may have been why i went off at the end of the day too.

Front right, rest of the tyre has 4-5mm deep tread.

Plywood, cheap to replace smiley.gif

last two vids

2nd session, @ 5min watch the the gtr's take off and at the end of the straight the puff of dust from the 35 overtaking Blue on the grass.

3rd sesion, Lap 6 @7.32 is my best for the day - 1:08.06

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VrTGmtEwPw

I’ve seen something interesting from the weekend…

My car

- 1:08.0, RB30DET makes 315kw (423hp), 1200kg, Aero (splitter and wing)

Drivetrain

-R33 5 speed Gear box

-Rebuilt exedy 5-puk with 4000lbs clamp load and karbonic pads

-single piece shaft

-KAZZ 2-way

-4.3:1 Final Drive ratio

Skip to 7:35 for the quick lap.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VrTGmtEwPw

Sexy Daves GTS1

- 1:10.0, N/A VQ35 makes 188kw(253hp), 1200-1250kg, standard body (airdam and spoiler)

Drivetrain

- 350Z 6 speed gear box

- Exedy lightweight single-mass flywheel

- Exedy 5 puck button clutch

- Carbon Fibre single piece tail shaft

- Kaaz 1.5way LSD, machined for 75lb preload

- 4.11:1 final ratio

On our best laps both leave turn 10 at 60kmh with no wheel spin and hit 177kmh (via Datalogger) down the straight at the same spot before we both back off through the kink.

Any idea why even though theres 127kw difference our top speed on the straight is the same? maybe his drivetrain vs my downforce/drag?

Hmmm, yeah. have had a few ppl now tell me the dyno might be reading high...

Would be interesting to see daves car go on a weighbridge, esp since the motor/gbox combo is so light too!

so anyways, i have fitted the rims from Partycat on. Hopefully with muffin top slick they fill out the flares some what.

I have received some mad tax back, and am trying to spend it before the wife finds out!

Have ordered so far;

New slicks

R31house front lip and flares from Flatz

solid gearbox mount

z31bitz V2 diff mount

battery isolater cable

and a sheet of Alupanel (two sheets of aluminium sandwiching a sheet of neoprene. Thats right, no more plywood splitter. Found out my brother-in-law gets it fairly cheap. Light (a 2200x1800mm panel is 12kg) and very stiff (i cant flex or bend a 300x300mm piece)

Nice! Lol at spending before the wife finds out!

Keep us updated on the splitter, a lot of cars at wtac were using similar materials. I assume the brother in law gets it via sign writers or similar?

Wheels look good, what are the specs and where from?

Will do. he puts up displays or something.

wheels a just rota RBs, 17x9-13 and 17x9.5-19. Hope they dont break haha.

The old 31 is looking good man, love the wheels.

Can't wait to see what you do next.

I think I need a racecar of my own :(

cheers man. should see if you can get your old MR2 back ;) that'd be fun

  • 4 weeks later...

Been slack after nats, havent done a thing to it till last night.

Made a Gurney Flap at 4% hight

2012-10-09215745.jpg

started making the wing/boot supports.

2012-10-09215832.jpg

and new bits ready to go on. just waiting on the lip and i'll make the new splitter.

2012-10-09215906.jpg

Im doing a airport run at the end of the month, which im going to use to test out what effects the aero (splitter/wing) at speed. six runs, so the first two i'll do with nothing, 3rd with just the wing, 4th with just the splitter and the last two with both.

Just need a little black paint and some nutserts into the floor

2012-10-19105440.jpg

Diff mount in

2012-10-19105502.jpg

Rear swaybar with superpro bushes

2012-10-19105519.jpg

Front sway bar is on and gearbox mount done - anyone know what the three settings are like in relation to the standard one? I.e., is the softest setting the same as standard?

New lip fitted – trying to workout how to mount the splitte rwith it as the bar/lip has about 10mm rake (front higher that rear). The car is also raked so the front is lower so it’d be worse if I happened to level out the car.,

Picture for pictures sake

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
