Sorry to be picky... But my fastest lap during the race was 1:02. The 1:12 was average lap time. And not sure about starting position since i started in the pits :P didnt know you were supposed to press the grid button WHILE it was counting down...

Fun race. Was driving smoothly during practise, dont know why i couldnt keep it on the track during the race. 15 incidents in the first few laps lol.

Congrats to the top 3 :)

Haha you learn from that I suppose Liam! Was that your first race on iracing?

Yeah race was a lot of fun. Such a small track, I found myself losing concentration around laps 12-15 haha.. Had a couple big moments

Yeah I think my best lap was a 1:07 as well.

Tried laguna seca for a bit after the race, haven't managed to get through the corkscrew clean yet :D

That pit exit through me as well

Gran Turismo taught me that the fastest path from A to B is a straight line...

haha yeah GT Laguna Seca and iRacing Leguna Seca are two different beasts....

I did a time trial the other day, but yeah first grid start.

Sorry about that! All updated direct from iRacing results for Liam's time and Justin's time :)

GT Laguna Seca is far from the iRacing version, Tyre models as well in GT haven't really changed ever and feels like your driver slot cars half the time in a smash up derby! :P

Guys with the fancy pants wheels, do the pedals have feedback?

I think the only pedals that it's possible to have feedback with are the fanatec clubsport pedals.

I have the first version of them though the abs/vibration feature has never worked. I've never really looked into it to find it why though because I don't really think it's needed.

Guys with the fancy pants wheels, do the pedals have feedback?

I wish I had force feedback in my pedals! But the g27 can be upgraded with things like two stage springs or ever if your keen a real brake cylinder that some how works from USB and p/s, looks great but seems like a mess around!

my logitech momo is crap, the brake pedal has no resistance, so only feedback I have is the tyre noise

maybe you could be lucky and find that Logitech make a two stage spring for the momo wheel. I was using (and still have) a Thrustmaster Ferrari wheel to begin with and I found it was almost easier to get better times without the force feedback, but in saying that with a little practice (like a year and half!) I get the same if not better times now with the g27.

Haha that's why I like the fanatec clubsport pedals. Using the load cell instead of potentiometer. Braking ends up becoming muscle memory. Helps with speed and consistency

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • 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)
