Dirty Thirty - Two

[fricktion]

Currently in ze shop getting ready for another tune.......

[fricktion]

New boost controller installed and it got its tuna. Running high and low boost settings.

235kw @ 8psi

290kw @ 16psi

Kept breaking traction at higher boost so will be adjusting the wheel alignment and bringing it back in for another run soon.

Before wheel aligning I had to make some more room under the guards so prepped up the fibreglass guards which gave the front wheels plenty of room to move.

Painted them and then decided I hated them on the car. They ruined the lines and look rubbish.

So I went to town on the standard guards instead. I cut the inner lip off completely and then flared them out as much as possible. They're a bit rough but they work. Might smooth them off properly and paint them, or might just buy gtr guards we'll see.

Flared/Pumped out the rear guards as well with the heat gun, baseball bat and phone book method. With a lot of patience it actually worked out really well, they're a lot more roomy. Then spent a couple of days with Heasmans getting straight.

Still running too much camber on the rear so the guards will need some more work but it's driving nicely. Had some fun with it on the old road this week before it goes back in for another tune

Checked the plugs yesterday then spent a little more time on the dyno. It running nice and clean, still needs some work at higher boost but it's happy as a pig in mud at around 12psi. Drove it straight off the dyno and out to Eastern Creek for some drifts around the skid pan. Drove it hard all night and it behaved itself like a gentleman, then drove it home again afterward.

So good to get some wheel time without something breaking on this thing. It's been solid af lately. Should see some track time very soon

quick carpark plug change?

[fricktion]

Yeah literally! I was in a rush to get it on the dyno before heading to Eastern Creek.

No such thing as a 'quick' plug change on an RB though

You'd have done well to have seen the car around Sydney it's spent almost 6 out of the 7 years I've owned it locked up in my garage. Last week was its first ever trip to the creek
