Todays results from a track day at Sandown. Look what's above the m2 competition. Yes the 33 is nowhere near stock but neither is the bm. Johnny, your boat would chop both those cars and you'd have plenty of $ left for hookers and coke.Screenshot_20200309_181905_com.android.chrome.thumb.jpg.bd2ee49195d9de65eeb88a8178ebc14a.jpg

I'm going to the drag strip tomorrow Pete, hope you're there to support me!

Also shameless plug, who needs a 180AMP alternator? these ones:

Same as what Andrew Hawkins has in his car... PM me I can do a mad price.

Ive just shown my boss ( who is a BMW fanatic through and through ) those Sandown results and pointed out that the R33 GTST is faster than the BMW M2 Comp !

He wouldn't believe it ! 

Gotta luv it !

To add to that, my own 33 gtst with a simple highflow turbo has run a 1:22.7  (2 tenths off that m2), driven to and from track and is a daily driver albeit slightly less comfortable than an m2 comp.

But won’t impress chicks, just dudes, so there is that to consider.....

Na poofs are more impressed by bm's and golf r's. Chicks love skyline's, the spool gets em wet and the panties drop.

I'll try Johnny but we are running trial batches of hand sanitizers this arvo.

So I'll see how I go !

So . . . . . if you threw $40K at your skyline how fast would it be ?

AND youd have a $100K in change ! Yay !

I reckon 40k will get me to the top of that time sheet. Close enough to it anyway. 

Skylines have been doing sub 1:20's for many years, I remember old Big Red R32 videos cracking 1:16's.

This is heavily driver and balls specific at least at Sandown... but yes M2's aren't actually that amazing in the real world. They will get dispatched quite easily by a Mustang with tyres: (which is what the PP2 setup is)

M2's are at 1:22, 1:25 and 1:30, damn driver mod skewing the results :P

Corvid19 has destroyed my Putty Rd adventures !

I think I've now got a form of driving cabin fever.

What to do . . . . . . . 

This has been keeping me sane with the tracks closed ATM. Plenty of different games with mods out there for hills driving.
100% worth the cost and less likely to be pulled over :4_joy:

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
