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 :)

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
