1 thing I have learned is power is nothing with handling to back it up.

U might have some comp in standard 2wd as wayne is gonna do a few laps with street tyres to get the 10 points off you and then put his semi comps on and get points in the modified class also.

Power, meh what power...the old RB20 left you for dead down the straights at Sandown. :D

Now you have the susp tweaked its time you stop detuning the thing and just get the thing a safe tune at 1.2bar. Bullant47 is running something like 1.4bar and 270rwkws at track days ( do a search) , and it seems as though he is man possessed with the amount of track work he is doing.

That said if you cant afford to have something go bang, then i suppose its smart to exhibit some caution.

Thats why i feel sorry for all your R33 and GTR owners. Thing is when your car comes std with the RB20 POWAH HOUSE you can spend th emoney on susp, as the thing has all th epower you will ever need.

LOL...im enjoying my time in the sun, god knows when she goes bang your all going to give it to me

Well not quite Denham :D Actually that car has a fair bit of handling and other mods so with the added grip of the semis he is able to match or beat your times. Don't forget that the times I put down are only a few seconds (or closer) off your times.....all with 200rwkw no suspen mods at all and small, crap road tyres......

Oh yeah hes got tein coilovers.

What was your best times last sandown day?

I am hoping to go atleast 1.30 next time before my road tyres are totally screwed.

Wayne actually has a new r33 coming down in a few weeks with brembos, big slotted rotors, teins and nismo swaybars etc, hks 2835 so he should be able to give roys 1.24 a good crack to best rwd time at sandown.

hasent ur gone bang a few times already?

She went up in flames, not quite a bang....thats it. The rest was all spanner related...

Whilst we are on the topic of excuses 1:25s with an open wheeling diff...:D

Roll on Maserati where me wants low 1:23s :) ...as for Winton, as long as im good and sideways everywhere i dont really care, my car will never be quick around there :D

It was a bit more than coilovers mate!!!

Anyways I took over 3secs off my best and took it down to a 1:36 at sandown so I'm hoping to do the same to my best at Winton.

Although I tend to agree with Roy about winton.....without major mods (or a change in driver!) I'm unlikely to be that quick around there :D

I know wayne quiet well now and been to his workshop quite a few times in the last few months and the car he used at sandown only has the tein coilovers and semi comps as mods. Everything else was stock. Anyway that car wont see anymore track days. He did an awesome time for his first time at sandown in that car.

As for winton I think i will be sideways out of every corner and kill my rear tyres before maserati day.

Winton is a track probably more than any other in Vic where set-up makes the biggest difference in times.

Scotsman and I found we had 3s per lap difference just in adjusting the rear damper settings on my Tein coil-overs.

The funniest part was that the softer setting SEEMED better - especially on turn in - but was infact slower due to drive out of the corners.

Anyone with adjustable suspension / swaybars can learn a lot at this track by simply making various set-up changes in-between sessions.

Also - off topic a little - but I see a lot of people are talking about Maserati Day in October at Sandown. I won't be making that one due to the date and my wifes expected due day (she's currently expecting for the day before Maserati Sandown) - however I'm keen and a few others are to attend the PIARC weekend at the end of September.

I'll post up details for that event as soon as they are available but I'm keen to give the new set-up a run at the Island. What about you Brisby - 1.53's there isn't it???

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
