SAU certainly does well at the top of the timesheets but not everyone can lap in the teens, this is my best effort from the day

Enjoyable day, if a bit rushed between sessions due to only 4 groups. Unfortunately the only breaks to proceedings were due to some offs.

There are plenty of us that won't ever be at the top of the time sheet, but we sure as hell have fun trying :)

Love the new camera angles JP.

The diff comes out tonight, I'm interested to see wtf is going on in there.

I would love to know aswell. Does it only happen when the diff got warm, or only on particular corners?

All corners, all laps.

A better way to explain it is...like a crazy monkey operting the handbrake as you apply power.

Sounds scary... at least you have some talent to fall back on. If they guy under my bonnet starts doing crazy things, I can't see it ending well

I've seen that occur before, Rich, the issue ended up being caused by the bearings on the spider gears in the diff seizing due to a lack of oil and the oil in the diff failing from overheating, so that when the diff was under load in a corner, the spiders moved out of alignment and wedged in the case, causing inconsistent load to go through the wheels.

Here is a few of my laps, first time @ Sandown can't wait to go back with some more grip and bigger balls!

And a harness! That's got some decent power.

yeah it seriously boogied down the straight... :yes:

Is it normal to use second gear that often or is that an sr20 thing...doesn't even get 5th down the straight.but still cracks 210.... :blink:

That would be the shit aussie diff ratio.

Drop a 4.11 in there and it will be magic.

Yes its ADM SR20 so final drive ratio is 3.692, 4th is maxing out @ 210-220kph. Due to brake issue I was also trying to be smoother from a bit earlier so might as well hold on to 4th along both straights.

Also boost/torque curve is not really ramping up till 3.5kr so don't like dropping below 4k unless you had a long corner exit where you have the choice for higher gear spooling up.

Looking at an LSD so just need to recheck speed/5th gear rpm at PI before determining if I go to hassle of changing a final drive, speedo reset, higher rpm cruise to non melbourne events etc, sits on just over 3000r @ 110kph

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
