450kw and 127mph? u sure that leak wouldnt have lost you power? i run 127mph and im only just over 500hp on 24psi, only peaked at 23 for the day though.

i don't know mate.

The only way to find out would be to run again

Awesome afternoon. The Evo guys loved it. I finally got to run my Evo for the first time & managed a 12.30 @114mph.

Does anyone know what Phil's best time was in the R35 GTR? I need to pass the info on for an internet article.

Looking back at my videos, I'm starting to wonder how I would have gone if I'd let the car get anywhere near redline...

I just have too much mechanical sympathy I think.

only be way to find out

Back to Willowbank the legume (yes, legume) goes for rev limiting thrashing

Yep, still got a free pass that expires December from a time when test and tune was rained out.

Bought an open face helmet for $40 yesterday since the full face one got too hot on Saturday.

I'll go back out as soon as Sneaky Pete decides to run his car.

well Im going back this Saturday

Not I :(

I have however ordered some slimline engine mounts to fit my 2.5in intake and 2.5in incercooler piping that have been sitting in the box since xmas. Might as well turn a gearbox removal into a positive right?

so what happened exactly Mike and what times you run?

Got to the end of the quarter, slowing down, tried to shift from 4th to 3rd and it wouldn't go. Perma stuck in 4th. Was working my way into the launches having never been on MT's before. Didn't feel like I had a single clean run unfortunately. Only made 1 trip to the timeslip booth and collected 2. 1 said 12.5 @ 123, the other said 17.5 at 77.

Wideband saved me again on that run. After burnout I noticed lean. Kept a keen eye on afr's, sure enough under boost was too lean. I had figured the boost feed for FPR had come off, and I was correct, pulled up to check and it was flapping in the breeze.

Every modified boosted car should have a wideband IMO. Cheap insurance.

Nope not engine out. Will sling it and slide the mounts out and install the slimlines :P

100% agree on that ^

Is on my to do list as well (EFI also recommend it too)

so many more parts, so little spare cash............quick off to the for sale of parts thread

Hey mate, where did you get your helmet from. And how did the horse run.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
