Andrew, are all the rounds going to be “made up tracks” held at race circuits or is the series going to start using the full race track. I understand you can’t use all of the thunderdome due to the track condition but what are the plans for Round 2 at QLD Raceway?

Would love to bring our S15 to run the series, but would not suit the track seen in the video and the same would go with a lot of other dedicated time attack cars.

I wouldn't be too concerned Harry about an advantage.

There was only 3 of them doing full laps and they did maybe 5 laps each on the final design? I was driving my Touareg! and only was only driving it through the high speed S section on the back straight. (I never did a full lap even as a passenger. I never even went onto the bank - but I have driven it back in 2006)

So given a) the track will be fairly different with water barriers to what it is with witches hats, b) the track will be different to the test day - it was more a concept design day to an exact lay-out design and c) everyone will do probably 20-30 laps before timing even starts I wouldn't worried about the guys who did a few laps having a huge advantage.

Yeah there was only 5 laps of the final course design done, and that was with me as passenger.

That said it won't be 'identical' anyway IMO as it was only rough positioning to see how it would work. I'd support even a longer back section for more speed lol, that would totally change the course dynamic again.

Calder is the only custom built course we are using. The other two rounds this year are on "conventional" tracks. We wanted to try and differentiate our event and do something special for the first event. For next years 5 round series we might use the big track so time attack cars dont have to change their set-up.

The guys testing the course can compete, yes, but tje final layout will be slightly different with proper corners built instead of cones.

Ones thing for sure, its wild fun. Im going to set JET200 up for it for sure!!!!

I don't know if practice the day before the event allows quite the same opportunity to change your setup to suit a track no-one else gets to run on as practicing a couple of months before everyone else. It feels a bit like allowing a competitor to course check a blind rally to me.

That is great news. Will defiantly be bringing our S15 out for these events then :banana:

Everyone is on same boat so level playing field

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
