Will try and post up some vids later. The "win" vid is pretty unexciting if I'm honest.

However the rest of my weekend sure was a lot more interesting in a way than my first day.

Sunday morning we had our full audit scrutiny done - of which part was to test the kill switch. What I didn't know is that a kill switch cut-off in my car sends the car into limp mode.

This was only discovered as I headed out onto the track to take my position on pole for race 2. Unfortunately it meant I had to head into the pits and had a DNS for race 2. The fix for the limp mode is a simple plug into a PC and clear the fault so I was fixed 5 mins later but it was a simple lesson learnt on my first race weekend.

Upshot of this was it meant for the final race I started from the back of the grid. Conditions on Sunday were dry so the top GT cars had more speed on me regardless but none the less I was able to make my way from 20th all the way back up to 5th by the end of the 12 lap race. In reality I probably would have ended up in 5th even if I started 5th as the top cars are a good few secs / lap quicker than me at this stage.

But it was great fun coming through the field and was a nice learning experience including some pretty fun passes such as going between 2 cars down the main straight with only a few cm's space on each side.

Was good fun and I look forwards to the next one in Oct.

Here's the race win vid. Other than trying to go from hero to zero at turn 2 and dealing with lapped traffic at the end (yep I had lapped traffic in a 4 lap race) it's not all that exciting.

Still - here it is.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
