Sau Vic 2013 Motorsport Championship Round 6 - Sandown Sunday 11Th August


Recommended Posts

Regs sound like number is nominated unless your form states a car number. says you can purchase a number sticker there...

yeah dont worry about the throttle thing.

any forward facing glass (other than windshield) to be covered by tape. A roll of clear packing tape is easiest, or electrical tape for various colours. Or you can ebay headlight film. All will leave a glue residue which comes off with some metho.

Will be spectating, fingers crossed its a dry day.

Cheers scmate!

Yeah fingers crossed its a dry day. Otherwise ill be in the 1:50's all day :P

I'll bring a spare.

Weather looks baller. Should be a good day.

Cheers scmate!

First time out at Sandown so go easy on me guys. I hope the stock brakes hold up for the day.

What group did you elect to go under?

I'm also finding my feet again for track days

What other mods to your car out of curiousity

Also whos got a garage for a day that I can just chill out at? I don't want the space for the car just somewhere to sit in between sessions :P

I'm pretty sure i elected group 2 but I guess I'll have to wait for the email from Neil to see where i ended up.

I'm making 325rwkw. Brakes are standard, suspension is some old Tiens with adjustable swaybars.

Tyre's and driver skill are my killer as I'm running 245 KU36's. I need more practice and wider stickier tyres.

Looks like we'll be in the same bout then. I'll just follow you haha.

What's done to your car?

Similar to yours

284rwkw. Ku31's at the front and Nitto Invo streets on the rear near its wear indicators on old Tein HA suspenssion

Limitation for me is driver, tyres, no oil cooler (I get up to 90c in this weather crusing on the freeway) and turbo issues. I won't be reving over 6,000rpm

So ill get about 2-3 laps in before my oil temps hit >120degrees i reckon, then Ill do a few cool down laps

More of a test day for me, as car only has gotten back on the road after a 6 month absence. But I'd be estatic if I could get under 1:30

Will hopefully get AD08R's and an Oil cooler fitted before the next track day

Jesus! 90 degrees is pretty warm just for cruising. I'm lucky to see 85 degrees on track but I do have an oil cooler.

I'm just out there to have some fun and to see what Sandown is like. I'll be happy with a 1:40 if I can get around the corners quickly enough.

My plan is to leave the car how it is for now and just learn how to drive it. Then I'll slowly slap some better gear on it.

Why so hot Tony?

You've got a new water pump, rad and still have the stock oil cooler (oil / water heat exchanger next to the oil filter) right?

What are your water temps like?

Trent said Turbo is too small, so working harder than normal, so hot oil going from the turbo to the block

In saying that Neo's run hotter than stock out of the factory

Charles get aroun 85c on the street.

When I tracked with my stock turbo oil temps hit 125c after ~5 laps at Sandown

Water temp is fine. Big rad I get like ~40-60c on the street lol

When I tracked with my stock turbo oil temps hit 125c after ~5 laps at Sandown

what was the weather like? hopefully cool wind and low ambient temperature should keep it under 120. maybe limit it to 2 consecutive hot laps?

I think it was a nice cool sunny day ~24c.

That was with a stock turbo

Now with aftermarket turbo and manifold things will get hot quick

Yeah probably only manage ~2 hot laps and then do ~2 cool down laps then another 2 hot laps.

I dont think my oil temp goes down that much on 1 cool down lap

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
