OK........ Cool.. Thanks for that.

I haven't heard anything though.

Bob.

Yeah, was all handed out at the Dinner. Unfortunatly a lot of the people from the S&S had shot though by then.

Was great seeing both your cars together. If you didn't catch the Guy who judged the ADM, and want that chat, you can PM on SAU under "jetwreck"

Without stating the obvious, not yet. We need to put them up here, and I don't have them, and have been at Sandown all weekend with the DR30.

However, if you had of come to the dinner, you would have known a week ago :D

Just a note on the sprint classes. Dennis has been moved across to class D and the results amended. That was done a couple of days ago when it was pointed out to me but the results are on the same link as before.

The remainder had to be checked out by myself while I dropped a sprint run to try to spot every car to check on classes. Most cars which were registered and driven to the day would have not ended up in race class, Fatz cause it is Fatz! Plus he and Jenna have been tracking that car pretty hard for a couple of years. I think Dennis is one of two cars I did not manage to spot while walking around.

The regularity results are up on the same forum link with the rest of the sprint results. To explain them, the regularity is scored by the standard deviation calculated in Excel between your three fastest laps of the day, so every driver who did at least three timed laps on the day went in the regularity, the closer together your fastest three the smaller your standard deviation and the better you do. A small club I am part of has been doing it's whole championship like that for years as we have about six regular competing members in five very different cars and the regularity format takes the car out of the picture while still not having to do anything but drive it as hard or as gently as you want.

GTR32G, just to put in another apology, I actually was expecting you to move up behind me pretty quickly and was looking for you, but between us we managed to time you moving across with me changing mirrors as I was starting to move towards the kink and I lost sight of you entirely as you went into a blind spot (Between the cage and helmet and driving position (Very very low, the windows are at my shoulder) the blind spots are not small) Just glad that there was no damage done, not what I want to see happen at a track day and certainly nothing I want to find myself involved in.

I also want to put up a thank you to everyone who helped on the day and everyone who entered, Given the format of the day (With Group A/C demos and or passenger laps between each timed run) I think that five timed runs of 12 mins plus two passenger sessions at the end of the day is not bad going. on a normal day without the historics there we would probably have had seven timed runs for the day.

      I would be cautious with those 2000/2200 CNG injectors, swap them out for a set of 1550 aka 1650 Bosch stainless ones before you take out a motor.

      Problem with 5th after manual swap on R32 GTS4

      By TheOrangeSkittle · Posted

      I tested them all a couple times, haven't tested it warm or wet though. The only seemingly really weird thing was the cylinders plug closest to the dash was pitch black nearly.  Doesn't smoke out of the exhaust or anything.    Also sorry everyone for the very late response. Got busy with work and all and didn't get around to fooling with the car for awhile.  But an update! I figured out the cause of the lean condition, my intercooler had at some point exploded or something. It's clearly separated in a spot with black oily buildup around the leak, and multiple leaks in various vacuum lines. I've replaced it and the vacuum lines, and gotten new clamps and there are 0 leaks now after doing a couple smoke tests.   The car now runs significantly better and the exhaust doesn't overheat anymore. I still have the main problem though where the engine feels like I'm lugging it around sub 3500rpm in any gear besides 1st, 2nd It's less noticeable but 3rd anything under 3.5k and I need to downshift or the engine is clearly struggling when trying to accelerate at all, 4th is the exact same, sub 3.5k engine won't accelerate and its hard to bring it back up to speed, 5th gear doesn't feel like the car is going to straight up fall apart now but it still can't pull 5th. It slowly loses speed and rpm and ANY gas I give I can feel the shakes from the engine and it slowly dying. If I ever so lightly give it gas it will slowly and nicely decel till around 2k rpm instead of lugging. But it cannot accelerate at all or maintain speed.   If I go from first gear at 5 or 6krpm and then shift to second it also feels like it's struggling to make power till above 3krpm if trying to accelerate but I can cruise around parking lots at around 1-2krpm just fine in 2nd. It's just when accelerating hard it and changing gear you really notice it die down.  But even if you shift at way lower rpms it does the same thing till somewhere above 3k.  As far as I'm aware it's got r32 gtr transmission gear ratios with gts4 diffs. The tire size is 205/55r16 91h Above 3500rpm the car pulls and runs and drives quite normally and the power from engine sounds and feels very smooth.  It's perfectly driveable at above 3.5krpm but I drive on the highway alot for work and it gets really bad gas mileage in 4th at 4.4krpm. Not that I'm looking for great gas mileage with such a car, just I'm sure being at around 3krpm would be significantly better for it.    Have appreciated all your guys help. I do understand the engine may just be f**ked from running with a boost leak though.    One final thing I'd like to add is I'm only shifting so high in the rpm range is because if I don't I will feel the engine lugging bad with 0 power in lower rpms, pretty much anytime off boost trying to accelerate it feels really bad.  Also when I say 3500 rpm I don't mean exactly. Just around there.
