SAU Nickname: Duncan

Car Make and Model: R32 GTR n1

Circuit Name: Eastern Creek

Lap time: 1.50.77

Modifications

Engine: standard rb26. 12psi boost

Power: 235awkw

Suspension: zeal coilovers

Tyres: falken slicks 240/610/17

Brakes: g4 8 piston 330mm

Body weight: 1500kg

Finally got back into the top 10, the slicks were brilliant, probably 1 second quicker than re55s and allowed 210 through turn 1 which was brilliant fun (just lift then turn in). It was 34o out there, and track temp was measured as 55 which would have hurt power (and tyres)

Car ran beautiful..until the drivers side caster rod broke when I hit the brakes for turn 2 @ about 220km/h. That's both sides broken now :O Only got about 15 laps in the end.

BTW I hear John has taken equal #1 spot on the Phillip Island list?

yeah, I think he was in the 47's or 48's. He had a massive lose coming onto the front straight, travelling about 200 meters on the grass at what had to be 180kmh. Good for him for keeping the boot in a driving out. Was behind him and it looked scary, but impressive.

Aren't we all glad Marcov doesn't post on here though. He was running 42's in his R32....

Makes us all look silly. John was in love with his car though. John even rang me this morning for Sams number as he wants to go visit him on the way home.

42's is insane... Where is Franky and JFK when we need them to come and play haha.

New PB for me even if it was on a laptimer... 1.49.82 backed up by a 1.49.88 the following lap. Don't know how I'll get into the 48's...

42's is pretty impressive those who have seen his car would know just how impressive it is. Bloddy fast and one of the best pressented without a doubt.

It isn't a street car though. There are three race track cars getting around now, Sam, JFK and Ivan, the chatty guy that loves to socialise.

Sam is leading the pack.

From what I know

1.42 for Sam

1.43 for JFK

1.44 for Ivan

On the full street trim scene,

Frank, 1.43

me, 1.45

Jack aka "The Stig" 1.46

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
