Didn't see the last lap times from the supersprint at PI but up until then my best was an improvement to 2:00.55 on the road rubber. Was also running lower boost at around 11psi and the same mod as Snowie.......

SAU Nickname: Duncan

Car Make and Model: Honda S2000 (thanks rental guys :D )

Circuit Name: Phillip Island

Lap time: 2.02

Modifications

Engine: the damn thing revs to 9500 stock. and I reckon they stuffed another cam in there somehow.

Power: 76 rwkw @ 6,200rpm. 176 rwkw @ 6,500rpm. Its like its got a fcuking t88.

Suspension: stock :D

Tyres: nothing to speak of. death traps on the rear made the Federals on the front seem good

Brakes: stock....in fact nothing by the end of the day.

Body weight: 1255

edit BTW I noticed that the S2000 GTP time was

"1:54.14, APCC Honda S2000"

If semi slicks are worth 5 seconds I was only 2 seconds off the pace of the race car. That's nice.

Times were done at one of the monthly level 1 sprint days at QR. The sprint layout is always used for this and is considerable shorter than the full circuit.

Ill dig up the specs etc for Calder, getting some base lap times will be difficult since noone really races there anymore, but will post up some club times.

Meanwhile jlnewton steps to straight to the top of the field...come on QLD, get out there and give it a shake:)

OK just had a bash at Wakefield yesterday for the 1st time. In wet weather conditions too with semi slicks (yes went off the track in a big way!). Best time was 1.15/R32 GT-R. Looking forward to going back there in the dry for sure, great track... full of corners + very aggressive!!!

Cheers Duncan. Would love to go out again but damn that drive home was so hardcore. I hated every minute of it. My car was aquaplaning all over the place so I literally had to drive at 65km/hr all the way back to Sydney!!! Trucks were overtaking me... so scary... I was tired, wet, cold, no music in the car, damn!!! I won this though, so I'm happy :( I was the fastest GT-R on the day. Best recorded time on the day was 1.14 and it was an EVO8 set up for rally. trophy.jpg

Updated lap time from Sandown Maserati day. Some seriously nice cars out.

Trackday ettiquette note: when you own a barge TVR or BMW M3 and a Skyline approaches fast from behind.....get out of the way!! Don't hold the inside line and carry on a braking duel.

haha - Geoff - you looked like you were going to burst when that TVR drove up! LOL

My time improved to 1.25.7. Going to be knocked off from 1st spot though. We all just better hope Ben never finds this thread or else the rest of us will look so crap! LOL.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
