video of my fastest lap of the day.

pretty happywith the lines, was getting some bad understeer tho, think too much grip from rear. need semi's for front next.

got my PB just in time.

made it half way to shepp b4 the rear brakes gave up the ghost and went metal on metal

so need to fix them and a windscreen b4 HH.

Well you will want the semi's on the front before the diff then. As the diff will induce a little more understeer initially.

Looking at the list of stock cars driven by V8 supercars drivers:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Arff-ZXmabAZdEFEWHRXWU1BbW9VZVF1MFZQNnlHS1E#gid=1

I wonder how some of the cars on here would rank on that list if driven by a V8 supercar driver and how much of a time it actually makes.

FYI top of the list is a 1.32.10 by a 911 GT2 driven by Warren Luff

My 1:49 is equal time to a Volvo driven by Cameron McConville :P

You will be able to knock 3-4 second off that time with more track experience Tony. Add another 2-3 seconds for tyres and 0.5-1 seconds for a more aggressive wheel alignment.

That has you down in the 42's. Add a diff and more experience will have you under 40.

This is the best thing about being a newbie, you go to a track day and knock 2-3 seconds off your PB. While the rest of us jump up and down over 1-2 tenths.

Remembering I'm at a 38.1 with 210KW, RSR's and stock aero. That was with all of the above mentioned.

Yeah I get what you saying with newbs like me :D

But I was more so curious of what do you think would be the differences in times between the fast guys some as yourself/martin/Sam if one of the V8 supercar drivers where to take your car and belt it around the track.

I know the Boxer S isn't a massively fast car, but a 39. Same with the Z4 M. Would have expected a little faster.

I don't really care what a pro driver could do. It's down to the mug in the seat at the end of the day, the majority of that is seat time and coaching. Which the pro guys get a lot of, thus they are good. Hard to tell with car being different.

Andrew who is a good steer-er got a 38 with this 997 Turbo. Which is stock, while Luff got a 36.

Also, who knows what tyres are are using. A stock EVO VI going around the Island in a 53...I don't think so.

Brakes, not surprised, I thought they were toast at Sandown :) so what's up with Windscreen?

That roast looked gorgeous BTW.

Glad you all had a good day.

Amazing range of cars, even porsche drivers like walls.

Was fun reading this thread.

( next time ask me to lunch .. Winton food is ;-( )

New wrx motorsport team isnt as organised as the old one , so sign in and scrutineering cause late starts.

Anyway

Dont forget next years CAMS sprint series.

Will be 2 at PI and 2 at Sandown ( running CAMS state level events at Winton is just to hard/expensive)

Plus a national event @ PI in November.

We (CAMS organising commitee) have asked wrx to run one of the PI ones.

It will be a blast.

pretty minor but needs to be fixed b4 becomes major.

had a stone flick up and put a big chip in screen with some very minor cracks, want to fix b4 the cracks get serious

HELP........

I need to get the club Marquee to DECA.

If you have a ute or wagon and towing a car to Shep have you room.

I can drop it off at your place tomorrow.

Give me a buzz 0433419707.

Wayne..

Hey Wayne,

How big is the marquee? I can possibly put it in the back of my stagea, I'm going up Friday night so let me know.

I'm located in the western suburbs though...

This post is meant to be in the deca thread i believe :-P

Thanks for the quick response.

But i now have it covered.

So i will see you up there Friday night.

Thanks to eveyone that offered :thumbsup::thanks:

  • 3 weeks later...

ya take capacity

for turbo multiply by 1.7 and that capacity

thre a few things

rotory is 1.5 so a rotor turbo is capacity *1.5 * 1.7

diesel is 0.8 multiplier think hybrid is similar.

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
