I went to the Brock driver training day today and had a blast! (well that was until my car started pinging, so benny turned down the boost and it was sweet again)

I learnt so much I cant even begin to describe it, even though I dodnt learn heel toeing, I still did ok. The laps I do by myself on the track where completely exhilarating, my hands are still shaking from it, the only reason I pitted is cos my brakes were smoking.....

So Ill be out there helping fly the wang banner after I get my car a bit more track worthy - need brakes, radiator and fuel pump, maybe front and dumps (at very least) b4 I hit the track again

All I gotta say is........

BRING IT AWN AGAIN!!!!!

^^^Well least you didnt run out of fuel halfway through like I did biotch LOL, and Benny's take on the "Hot Lap," holy !((^@)&$)&!@#^)$&@)&$)!& :skull: :skull: :skull: :skull: that was when I realized what the car could do in the right hands! Needless to say all further power upgrades stay in the box until I learn how to drive the car properly as the engine stands now! :coffee:

Did brock have a drive of your car?

actually the brock part of it was a rip off, basically he came out at lunch and did a speech, "life is like a box of chocalates blah blah blah" but he had good instructors, paul stokel, damien white, and a few others, laps wise as many as you want, you just have to pit every 3-4 laps

What have you done to your S15 Horus? Which track did you go to?

Any time run?

Cheers Dude,

VITZ

:D

basics dude,

FMIC, exhaust, clutch, flywheel, boost controller, pod filter, CAI, turbo timer, engine dampers, powerfc

track was sandown

Awesome! Some semi slicks and Dampers will work wonder!

I don't think you need too much of a cooling unless you are laping more then 10 laps at one time.

Try better coolant and engine oil, that help heaps!

As for the brakes, MUST!

Let me know when you are going out again, I'll come and join you.

Cheers,

VITZ

:D

    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
    • nice work, welcome to the world of CAD! fabricating accurately in 3 dimensional space is beyond me....I almost always end up making something more than once...sorry I mean I extensively use prototyping
