Angus told me it was quite disconcerting running in the STi with one second having no one behind, the next with a Mosler lights ablaze up your arse but so low you can only see the top of the roof! lol

yeah he must have some balls. it would be pretty hard to just focus and keep your eyes forward knowing that every second you don't check the mirrors is likely to be the second a mosler gains a few hundred meters on you in the blink of an eye.

Yeah he said "check the mirrors under brakes on Mountain strait - nothing. Check again into The Cutting - nothing..... Get to Skyline, mirrors chock full of Mosler!"

He also said when they passed him before the kink in Conrod, by the time he was exiting The Chase, they were already exiting Murray's corner! lol!

Yeh then compound that with it being pitch black! A mate of mine did the Nurburgring 24hr many years ago in a Mirage cup car with Donut king, said coming down that really long straight (3km?), check mirrors nothing, check mirrors again faint flicker of light, next thing you know there is a bang of an exhaust, flame and you've just been passed by a BMW M3 GTR and no sooner you can't see their tail lights in the distance!

That would be scary lap after lap in the dark with 200 or so other cars racing!

lol, sounds exactly like the tourist sessions. except that in them only half the people are wearing helmets and some are diving campervans. now imagine hans moleman in his campervan tootling around as hans stavro blofeld comes up in his full house GT2 porsche thinking he is on for a purple first sector. now that's closing speed!! oh, and scatter around a few suicidal guys on motorbikes around too. some are already in the guard rail or the hospital but there's always plenty on the track to dodge mid corner. make the 24hr sound like a walk in the park, at least the guys in that should know how to drive right?

Wow,

You'd think someone would have created some kind of car to car warning system using GPS so that everyone knows how close the car in front/behind is and how quickly the distance is changing. We get that in video games daily :P

Someone has created it, they call it the pit crew + radio.

According to the Germans, a lot can't, hence the new licensing restrictions for this year's event......NB race school and two European endurance events, I believe, required if you haven't participated recently.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
