wrxhoon,

   Nice time, I think with the clutch you should bed down a flat 12. I will be there once I get my clutch in. What tyres did you run?

Yea i should be able to run a flat 12 or even a high 11 with a good clutch , i will be looking for a Nismo twin plate i think .

Toyo 265x35x18 in the stock 18x9 rims and full street pressure ( 38 psi ) . traction wasn't a problem , the clutch wouldn't grab at any amount of rpm , i even went down to 2500 for a 2.37 60 ft .

What kind of clutch are you going for ?

Jerry have you listed your mods so far on the M-Spec? Nice time with the stock clutch. Mine is slipping at high rpm launches as well but i figured that was expected with 70k kms done on it.

I'm heading to Japan (tommorrow) to load up two suitcases with stuff. Here's praying customs dont notice.

My clutch was holding 100% on road and while tuned , its just when you sidestep @ 5000 + to much heat in to it and then it would kepp slipping especialy on gear changes . On my last run i only used about 4500 ( not enough realy for a clean launch ) and that was my best run .

Mods are as i told you before , gtss's , p f/c , 550 cc Nismo injectors , hard i/c pipping , ( stock i/c ) pod filters ,( for now , still looking for a stock airbox ) ebc ( 1.2 bar) , hks front pipes ,( stock dumps , they are s/s on the 34 ) 3" catback ( very quiet )and thats about it . Its a very responsive car with that set up .

How long are you in Japan for ? good luck with the shopping list .

Check your p.m

I was out there watching as per normal.

Some people just don't get it. There must have been atleast 15 different cars that had no idea how to stage!! It just holds up the whole night.

Highlight of the night was the dark red s14 throwing a good burnout all the way up to the staging line and then hitting the starter when he came over to tell him off.

Good to see some r32 gtst's out.

The inability to stage thing really pisses me off. It shows that they clearly have either never been to WSID to watch others race, or they have watched but failed to pay any attention.

That red S14 thing was quite funny. Yay lets stand directly infront of a car that's doing a burnout to teach him a lesson, oh shit he ran into me. Quite suprised the driver didn't get out and give him a mouthful. It was only about 15mins earlier the announcers said over the PA "Do not do a burnout across the line, we don't care how big your burnout is before the line but don't go over it".

From what I could see he hadn't passed the line yet :D

Yes that's right.

As you approach the line you will see on either side of your lane (the red painted bit) a narrow white line (which is actually about 20-30cm wide I believe). Slowly moving in will initiate the first 'pre-stage' light, moving forward a few cm again will initiate the 2nd light (you are now ready to race).

If you happen to roll too far forward and the 1st 'pre-stage' light goes out but the 2nd staging light stays on don't panic just stay where you are. It just means that you can't move forward anymore otherwise you will breakout (red light = disqualified).

Many people make the mistake of quickly trying to reverse back and then drive forward again into stage however before they can do that the 'starter' has already started the staging sequence and you'll screw up your run and timing.

Their is 0.4sec between each of the yellow/amber lights before the green lights up. I usually release the clutch when I seen the 2nd (of 4) amber lights 'go out'. From this I was getting consistent 0.1-0.2sec reaction times (which don't effect your time on wednesday nights but it's the easiest way to beat any car you are racing against).

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
