I missed Leigh's 2nd run cos of the stripper pic you sent Tony.

Might be a good thing not to watch Leigh's fancy ford putting a better time than I did with the R.

Calder was pretty crap last night, got there at like 7 and only got 2 runs until 12.. (with a small dinner break).. around 300 cars there. First run was complete shait, left it in full auto performance mode with traction control off and span 1st 2nd 3rd off the line drifting next to the wall with a 2.7 60ft just let off.. 2nd run was a bit better 13.2 but hit limiter in 1st to 2nd which would of cost me that 12.

Until next time! will definitely be heathcote though. Less cars ftw. Probably enter in that tri battle thing - Ash you going??

Also met Grant down there in his R with a slipping clutch from looks of things :P

Mph?

Mph?

108 on the only half decent run, 92 cruisin my 17 sec quarter after I mc'royally f**ked the start

Just finished cleaning some of the rubber off the car, decent amount came off the tyres for just 2 2nd gear burnouts

I did 109.71 on my 2nd run.

Damn you and your fancy ford tongue.gif

Is that the tri-club battle thing? Might get my entry in soon. Hoping for a 115mph

Shouldn't be hard my GTR only had 233 rwkw at the time and couldnt go any faster than 111 cos of speed limiter lol.

Get your entry in brah I did mine today

Ye Calder in all honesty is NOT the place to go to test/tune. Really need to drive to Heathcote these days.

Calder is just toooooo busy :(

I'm waiting for Snowman to get back from Bali. If he says we are doing Mt Baw Baw Sprint - then I won't be...

If I don't do Baw Baw then 100% be @ drag challenge :)

Yeah, waited almost a hour for a run, and bikes get more runs than we do with cars...

Farkin this...there's that magic (or not so) age in your twenties where you just can't do it anymore lol. When I was at uni I could go out on a thursday night and be at uni the next day on 4 hours sleep. Anything less than 8 these days and I feel like ass!

The majority anyway, I know some my age that can happily pull all-nighters nearly every day of the week. I think I stopped being able to do that at about 22.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
