Shane ill be there but im flagging and helping out as SSCC are running the day. You driving??

Ill be at oran park for the next round though.

Im happy with the 6 but I know its got alot more in it once its on new tires and it becomes a bit more responsive. On the videos Im with greg in a straight line but he can pull a car length on me out of the turns untill I get the boost back up. We were running the same boost and almost identical power.

Chris I qualified in 7th was passed by 3 cars off the start as I had severe brain fade.

finished race 1 in 3rd so gained 7 positions

started race 2 in 3rd and finished in 2nd.

and finished the last race in front so I was pretty happy, was up against drivers with alot more experiance than myself in the whole grid racing schene.

Even went home with a trophy!

Its not easy going out there with 25 odd cars none of which are willing to give up a spot. And overall lap times mean bugger all in a race situation. Even doing 6's all day its bloody hard to get past a 1:08 second car!

Ive got some awesome in car footage from my car and Gregs S15 when he was carving up the field from the rear of the grid.

So many close calls in 8 laps its seriously unreal to watch how close you can be to someones bumper!

Its a pretty hairy ride Chris. Im pleased but wont be stopping here. Ive got a small list of things to do over the next few weeks and the engine will be coming back out shortly. Next time down there i wont be happy unless it cracks a 5. Currently ive dropped a second every event so its more than possible.

Ill try and get the incar video up or send it to you. pretty interesting to watch.

new Phillip Island PB for me.

1.48.03

Roy, after you sober up fro Superlap, time to update the ladders.

See my sig below.

Watch out Ferni!!!!

Well done Andrew, looks like all the gremlins are gone, including the ones in your brain!!!!!!!!!

I would love to Andrew, but you need to get the moderators to allow me to become a moderator as you may have noticed that the original poster can no longer modify old posts...so i cant change the times. Up to Uncle Snowy

Doh, progess can be a bitch sometimes.

Jack, the gremlin I've got is I keep eating front right tyres for some reason. I had the front right delaminate on the inside edge on Saturday after the second timed session. It was only 3 meetings old and this is the second time it's happened. Would have been a 1.47 for sure as the track was getting faster during the day. Ask Ant, he's rapt with his time on the last session!

As per my avatar, if I put all my fastest track sectors for the day together it would have been a 1.47.6, some I'm as inconsistent as ever :P

Small change to my time if all fastest sectors were added up. I'm encouraged as I was down about 5-10 kph in top speed, only did about half the day and the slow traffic was a nightmare. Jesus it's frustrating though :P .

Datalog attached.

Ok boys the bar has been set for a standard-ish GTR at phillip island.....I always knew it was in the car but the driver had to catch up :dry:

1.49.6887 (link: http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results..../2008.PHIL.S15)

Don't think there is too much left in the car the way it is....the tyres are a little worse for wear with about 1 track day left in them so I guess a fresh set would net me a couple of 10ths.

Time to start modding the suspn to see what I can do :P

Also anyone know where to find the overall laptimes on natsoft across all groups....Ferni?

That's awesome Ant, well done! How many 49's did you run?

Normally on natsoft there is a link down the bottom combining all sessions - maybe thats just WRX sprints...

Cheers Roy.

Ferni....Just the one.....wanted to go out in another session but had no fuel left. Going by my lap timer my laps were steadily coming down until the 49 with the lap before being a 1.50.03.

Yeah I think thats just the WRX ones as I clicked on every link I could find with no luck....I'll have another look as I want to try and find the list of all laps completed as well.

Brad - yeah man send it! will be good to study your lines mate!!

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
