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!!

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
