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


Recommended Posts

Just had a look at the grouping..

Seems as though all of SAU VIC in group 5

Fun at first but I'd rather not be in the same group as the really fast guys such as Aaron's R35 which does 1:20's :/

Won't help starting at the rear, he'll be lapping my prius in no time. Asking for times seemed pretty pointless.

That said, overtaking won't be an issue if people are sensible as per any other day we've done.

Good to be out on the track again

All my corner speeds were down compared to last year, so I need to work on that

But spose it was more of a test day for me, and the car came out ok.

I can see for the faster guys it may have been hard to get a hot lap in with so much traffic

Great weather today which was a plus

Was a good day out,

I Know which club days i would attend in the future......

Tony how did you go in the last session after another 30 minute recovery?

I went 3 seconds fast than last time which is a bonus but still miles off "teens"

Recovery didn't take too long actually

Session went ahead prob about 10mins after you left.

Also ended up being my fastest session i think, as there was less guys out on the track

Struggled with traffic most of the day, apparently you need HP for Sandown hehe. That said, still managed to do a 1:35.0230 in my last session.

Richo you were right about the tyres, felt heaps better at 32 hot. Will try 30 next.

Speed or serious lack there of best shown with video of Aaron and the fridge carving me up at warp speed....

SAU-Vic should evaluate running with Alfa again for a c/ship round. Groupings were... poor. Can't get your monies worth if cars 20 sec/lap difference are all in the same groups!

Good day weather wise though and gotta love a Porka GT3 :D

lol yeah... R35 GTR, + 340rwkw R31, + VE SS, + Stockish Cars + FT86... wut?

The gaps that appeared even during the warmup lap behind the safety car was humorous...

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
