This bloke did a 2:29 at the sprints, V8 engined Datsun 280ZX. Must be the cage or something :ermm:

Top speeds, 259 and 230kph, Conrod and Mountain Straights respectively.

Those speeds are good! I was 255/218 in my bus.

Drunken - I think we are going to be team mates at 6hr next year. CXC are going to run my car for me instead of MPC - so I'll bring the squad up to 4 cars. Locked it in with Dylan this morning. 

Not doing it with Rod next year though - he's building an A45. I have a mate Karl joining me instead who can steer ok. 135 days to go!

The top takes some learning. I definitely learnt more again last week from my previous visit. 

Yeah your new bus looks so smooth over the top, something that will never happen in an R31.

 

Pity you can fit big tires on a 34 GT-T without cutting out the guards

My bathurst was a challenge alright. 

Saturday 

1st lap broke diff. Drove to syd to get new one from SSS and had the replacement back in car by 9pm.

Sunday

1st session black flagged for a 2.33 lap. 

2nd session black flagged for the same. 

3rd session stopped on top of mountain with failed crank angle sensor.

im going in the supersprint next year with a spare diff. 

 I estimate my car has a mid 2.20's in it. 

 

Anyone know where I can buy a new 3.6 or 3.5 crown and pinion for a r200 diff?

 

Why the huge differences in times between various rear drivers? Where particularly can significant amounts of time be won or lost? So many questions, so little talent lol.

Starting to think that a game level driving simulator would be a big help. Which one?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
