Yes the silver gtt. I really like this track like a compact winton more handling less power.

I was fighting understeer most of the day as were others, up hill brake and turn sections were tricky.

After doing hh then rocking up for maserati I'm in (+ my car's in) recovery mode atm.

Ah yes met you at Sandown! Good times!

You know sandown/pi terrifies me more than hh, I think it's the speeds involved.

I've been looking at richo's sandown vid and see I have to brake deeper and hold higher speed into turn 1 and back kink - both another 10kph higher - easier said than done.

Car has a gtx3071 .63 iw, 3" exhaust + metal cat, ~235rwkw, coil overs, standard sways and brakes, 6 point cage.

After sandown I now have a "new" shriek after 5k rpm to investigate, probably a leak or crack in exhaust somewhere.

Also noticed once again the hot weather stuffed my tune so had to pull some timing on sun as well.

Always something to work on or improve.

Talking of delays, currently working 6 days a weeks, so with work, family, household chores etc only just got around to reviewing footage.

Anyhow thought I'd fill in the gap between events with this clip, so what is this about Haunted Hills being a track for a decent driver in a well sorted chassis :)

Is it just my work computer blocking content... or are you missing a link there bloke?

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
