Golgo did a 12.9 with slipping clutch (single plate) in 1st and 2nd. Oh... and Sam was driving. My best time is a 13.0.

Ran 190awkw on Sunday - but was not going for high power - just wanted some fire :)

The car has an exhaust, pods and PFC - so pretty stock. Plus Leewah makes everything look underpowered. Nigel (Ice Perf) noted recently that the crank-angle sensor is way off tune (from before I owned the car). A set of cam-gears, a new clutch and a 'from scratch' tune should see some higher figures.

Not that I really care - still goes pretty darn quick when I need it too :)

Thanks for your concern though.

Oh - and Golgo is a guy, not a girl :D

Yeah - I was told I had cam gears (even have a reciept for them) yet had not had a chance (until very recently) to pull the cover off and take a peek. Seems that the dealer or previous owner may have removed them and not set the CAS up properly. Has more top-end than it should though.

AF ratio is OK - but O2 sensors are f*cked and as such the car has fuel economy on par with an ocean-liner.

Also - the dyno was set to run up to 200km/h - and my car peaks in 4th around 230/240km/h. But... no excuses to be made, the car simply is not as powerful as some other GTRs, and was never intended to be. It is driven and enjoyed every day, washed at least once a week - and makes a fabulous cruiser. All the while looking pretty pimp and blowing some nice flames :D

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
