Updated Winton time - 4.5s off my previous PB to a 1.35.2. Very happy. (updated original post)

Mostly due to upgraded brakes and modified transfer case. Anyone with a GTR that's keen on track work the upgrades to the transfer case is one of the best mods I have ever done to my car.

ahh I got to knock 1 sec of my wakefield time today, but I am cheating now :D

SAU Nickname: Duncan

Car Make and Model: 32 GTR N1

Circuit Name: Wakefield

Lap time: 1.10.2

Modifications

Engine: Standard N1 spec

Power: tba

Suspension: some jp coilovers

Tyres: Dunlop DZ02G

Brakes: standard

Body weight: 1460 wet

ahh good question that was Andrew that has made transfer case mods, I assume more clutch plates? personally i reckon the controller acheives the same end but I would have to try em back to back.

How is your additional block ventilation mod going?

andrew what did you do to the transfer case? and mind telling me what pressures (HOT) to run the RE55 tyres :D

I was at wakefield on saturday.... however had oil catch can issues! hmmm back there on the 11th to try again!

how do we go about timing for the no speed limit days?

cheers....

Duncan guessed right here. I've never used the controllers but I have been told there are some advantages of the transfer case mods over the controllers - how marginal the difference is I'm not sure so like Duncan could only tell with a back to back trial. But god damn through the tight stuff it's made a huge difference.

Ben - I run my RE55's at 30psi hot.

:rofl:

duncan now all you gotta do is drive a 31 round the track. here is chris' effort

SAU Nickname: Chris

Car Make and Model: HR31 GTS-X

Circuit Name: Wakefield

Lap time: 1.12 (something decimal pointish)

Modifications

Engine: R32 RB20DET

Power: 160kw from last count

Suspension: HD Coilovers

Tyres: turanza or some e30 stuff

Brakes: R33 4-pistons at front, R32 at rear

Body weight: 1400

Actually Chris was doing some great laps considering the drives a POS 31 :D but the tyres he was using were dunlop D01J. Hope he makes it to the drift nats in Adl OK :)

I was out there last monday, Powerplay had a private track day and I took the opportunity to give the car a final shake down before the state champs at Oran Park this weekend. It ran great except for the cracked rear rotor so I should be out there OK.

We found with just the controller, it would get some slip towards the end of a race and the oil temps would climb rapidly. No slip with the additional plates, last the whole race and lower transfer case oil temps all the time.

:goddam: I had better ring around and warn everyone.

:)

PS; Only kidding :innocent: good luck.

    • Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
