I had a very fun day, couldn't have had more different cars than the Leaf and Stagea, but they both ended up with very similar times.

Very strange seeing a Leaf get thrown around. So quiet. Perhaps you need to fit something like this?

That would be me

Would love to know who the person was who asked to stick their go-pro on my car with about 15mins left in the day and got a recording of my last run. I was the silver R33 with the chrome lip'd 18's who had a passenger most of the day.

that was me ( I think ) I have random runs from the end of the day and will post up soon ( maybe tonight ) .

lol. the audio from the camera on the roof picks up us talking/navigating around the course from outside.

It's kind of a ninja car. :ph34r:

but i want to see the timesheets before I write it off as a race car

i need to take may front shaft out next time. I want to do real skids.

You said shaft.

Well Done Eric, FTD on all 4 courses.......

Actually Anna set fastest time on the Jack Rabbit course. But very pleased since I only jumped in for one or two runs.

haha reece I think he fudged those numbers :P

I need to really do more than 1-2 goes of each course... where is my -5 second style bonus for linking them all in drift mode!

Have timing sheets to prove it and there is no evidence to confirm bribery. ;)

I am upset now - I do not mind Kel being faster than me and if she was driving the Stagea it would be fine but I have a problem being slower than the Leaf :blush:

This gives me an incentive to improve my driving or do some more mods just to keep up with the Leaf next time......

haha as well as her finely honed driving skills, I reckon the way the leaf puts the power down may have helped a little. We have shocks, springs, semis and a longer extension cord due before next texi :)

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
