I competed in Round 2 of the NSW Supersprint CHPS at Wakefield Park today (first time on Wakefield Park) and had a best time of 1.11.69. Finished 4th in SVD and 18 th overall. (84 starters). The R33 GTS-t was well down on power this weekend as i had a power run with Dyno Dave on the way down to Goulburn on Saturday and was down to 202kw from 240kw previously. I'm going to have to try and find out where the missing kw are. Next round is on the GP Circuit at Oran Park in 1 month.

1:11 is moving along nicely.  My best is 1:15 with stock turbo but I have just installed a GCG highflow myself.  Twill be interesting.

You will be giving a 1:11 - 1:10 a big scare with the extra grunt and the RE55s, :D

And bugger, im off the Wakefield top 10:( Need to get back there with the new turbo and sticky rubber:)

And the Winton times are starting to get pretty serious:) LOL, i reckon my car can still improve in the order of 4-5 seconds around palce like PI and Sandown, but at Winton ill be amazed if i can get a 1:40.00 - 1:40.50:(

Hey Troy,

Update my 1st post with a time for Oran Park GP Circuit.

1:23.9

but there's plenty more in her left, this was done with the brakes going to the floor and entering corners with the rear wheel locked half the time.

Made the mistake of trial testing some new front pads in developement for a friend. After 15 laps the fronts had disintergrated and the rears after doing all the work went down to the backing plate.

Made drifting easier thou!!!

This was the first time i have been out on the track so give me a break :Pimp2:

What did you end up doing engien wise after the probs you were having a while ago?

I ended up with a 2nd hand RB20 which was never quite as good as the original one that now resides on the floor of a dirty workshop somewhere in Queanbeyan.

My turbs is still hanging in there although after a couple of hot shut downs after 1 exploding radiator and heaps of cooler pipe probs, it has begun burning a bit of oil.

Still i'm getting 200kw @ rw and that's plenty at the moment.

Waiting for either AP Engineering version of a Power Fc or else i'm just gonna plug a Haltec or Motec up. With the GTR injectors i've got and the turb pushing over 1.5 bar i'm hoping for mid 200's at the rear until the standard internals lunch themselves.

Not sure whether anyone has made mention of this (I haven't read all of the thread).

Some of the times put up for eastern creek are surprising. I saw a GTR do a 1.55 which is the equivalent time to the time done by a brand new SS commonwhore in Motor magazine. The GTR had a few mods too (suspension and engine). I'm surprised the GTR is not significantly faster. I know the Holden's have heaps of power these days (for stock cars) though wouldn't think their suspension and braking would be that good.

I guess they had a professional driver do the laps so that could have saved a couple of seconds combined with the fact that it is not their car so wouldn't be as worried.

What are your thoughts?

Well I can't comment on the gtr doing 1.55s...maybe it was on really crap tyres? or the driver hadn't done many laps there?

The best street gtr time I've seen was 1.49 by an F3 driver who I guess can steer OK, we are hoping to get close to that with the combined touring car.

But we have certainly been wondering what it is about the air in NSW that makes GTSts quicker on all the tracks....it doesn't seem to be the same in Vic? Maybe as you get closer to the equator the 2nd turbo looses its power?

    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
    • I do this, I also don't get the joke  
    • Return flow cooler will be killing you I reckon. You can certainly push more through a low mount setup but they're good numbers for a stock looking engine bay.  Mine made 345rwkw (hub) at 22psi on 98 with a "highflow" on a stock manifold but it's a long way from a normal high flow or standard engine. I used one of those Turbosmart IWG-75's and it was great with the Motec running closed loop boost with pressure being applied to both sides of the diaphragm. 
    • Hey man do you have pic of adaptor plate by any chance I need to match up the bolt holes as my gearbox adaptor plate ones are way off the only bolts of starter motor are matching thanks
