7heavn: Why don't you have the R32 anymore?

Brad: What's with the OMG? It's not like you haven't seen a huge burnout pic of the 200 :rolleyes:

Adam: What was JETT's mph?

Definitely can't wait for the next one. The rotor guys are also pleased with the day and are eager for another day.

forall those interested,

JETT got towed straight to workshop with potential spun bearing,

1st run) was 11.1 @ 129mph without gas and 7000 rpm launch

2nd run) was 8500rpm launch with gas engaged but forgot to put it back into 4wd from rwd burnout, think maybe did some damage there bouncing off the limiter in 3 gears

3rd run) everything was ready but after burnout heard a knocking so limped it down the track for a 28second pass, my new personal best,

So now jett is at workshop getting rebuild and selling with new internals, if anyone interested in buying after reuild let me know, price will be reasnable.

Jett did at least one 11.1 before breaking.

I just couldn't get proper smoke happening or good launches.  Crap 60 footers and no smoke burnouts don't make for good pics I guess.

I told you mate, you have to step on the brake to stop the car moving forward to do a burnout. You can't just step on the gas and hope it stays in one spot.

We should get Adrian to give SAU'ers lessons on how to do burnouts, because considering that you were told in no uncertain terms that you could burn the entire length of the track if you felt the need, 99% of the burnouts done by SAU'ers left a lot to be desired :chairshot :bonk:

That's a bloody awesome time - congrats to all involved with the car.

I actually had one run against you and I felt like I was standing still when you passed me half way down the quarter. I have to say that I now have an even greater appreciation of the raw speed of a legitimate 10sec car. That thing is a machine :rolleyes:

Thanks brendan.......i was thinking as i was roaring past, how bloody good would that sound, a 10 sec car screaming past at full noise.......i think awesome summed it up.

A huge thanks goes to our tuner Jim Souvas, who took time out from being with his family to attend....also a big thanks to Tom Miyamae our suspension expert. The boys from Croydon Racing Developments have helped in taking this car to the next level of performance....10.3 is a great achievement for what is essentially a home built car. Further development in key areas will hopefully see DIRT/CRD with an RH9, 2530 powered GTR.

i sat on it heaps of times merli !!

but just not alot smoke! gotta be the tyres, i left the day with the same amount of tread i started with.

does the beemer sit on the brake?

also wouldnt mind seeing your pics from the day!

does the beemer sit on the brake?

Nope... Those 19" Pirellis are waaaaaaay too expensive to abuse like that :rolleyes:

Someone donate an R32 GTR for me to play with :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

Hey Andrew, where are your pics.... i would be certain you got some awesome pics you could share with us all :rolleyes::D

here is a small vid of the 200 if anyone is interested.... you can faintly here Merli telling Andrea "now thats how you do a burnout!!!!!" hehehe

I hope that works by right clicking on it...

I'd also like to thank Adam & those who helped organise the day. It was awesome.

A Short vid of my PB 12.158sec @ 110.89MPH

You'll need the Xvid Codec to view it...

Not bad for an old mans car eh :unsure:

Go the all wheel drive.

I think I'm going to have to find a carpark to practice in :P

I think I'm going to have to find a carpark to practice in :O

I think I'll have to do the same thing next time. I've never really attempted 'burnouts' in the Skyline before and was only getting the hang of it by the end of the day :D

So, are there anymore pics/vids from the day? Seemed like there were a heap of people taking pics at the track, but I haven't seen that many posted up as yet :O

im gonna get some burnout training...cant stay off the limiter in 2nd...may have to try a 3rd gear burnout. Stood next to brad after his and his tyres sounded like flypaper....very sticky indeed!.

The quest for 9's

Car has 6 more psi to be dialed into it = more power. Have lined up a HKS ETC-EDA for more front drive, and have a spare transfer case to get modified to 12 clutch plates instead of 7. Didnt think i'd say this but "we will run 9's in this car"

your going to need a 4WD controller so you can make it a 2WD for the burnout Paul.... i dont know if its the right thing for a car such as yours, but a toggle switch would be ideal.... once its in 2WD the burnout will come really easy. I wouldnt suggest dumping it in 3rd as i think thats what has damaged the clutch in the 200 :O:( will find out soon enough though....

Once it gets more boost and a tune you will run 9's and it will be great to see it happen :O:) You just need to teach Stacey how to drive the car harder :D:)

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
