Intradasting, i found that Winton was easier on the car than a place like Sandown. Plenty of run offs too incase something went wrong.

without a doubt I would classify winton being nicer on a car, lower speeds more run off more technical so HP does not always win.

sandown you need big brake and HP

as they say it's 2 drag strips linked by a couple of corners

I will be too.

driving it felt much quicker than the stagea at 300kw, although that car was extremely laggy.

torque definitely feels good in it though. a very different car to what i've owned.

Intradasting, i found that Winton was easier on the car than a place like Sandown. Plenty of run offs too incase something went wrong. Did you drive the Pulsar? According to Natsoft you were in a 180sx?

Higher revs at lower speeds and warm humid air wasnt doing the turbos any favours.

Was in the pulsar, not sure why it says that. Im not even sure I did 20 laps either hmmmm. But yeah, you can see on the results the crazy mix of times with classes. the next fastest car from me in the Newbies class was 5 secs quicker, and then another 5 secs for the next fastest.

Tony what RWKW and brakes are you expecting to have for sandown?

Im booked in on Monday to see Trent for the tune.

Im expecting a track tune of 270rwkw Im guessing.

Brakes as per normal. DBA4000 but getting EBC blues from Richo. Previously had Resma's

It's funny but I get my faster lap times at the end of each session when I get into the groove of things, where my car starts to overheat, didn't notice much brake fade. But then maybe I'm not pushing it hard enough :P

Will def need to sort out cooling issues though to get the most laps out of each session. Oil temps was already up to 130c in about 4 laps in the afternoon.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
