What's Going On With Everyones Cars?

[Mr. Untouchable]

Andy's the man. The highest knock reading i got all day was 24. And kind to it I was not!

[Funz]

well , car now has new rear control arms, tie rods, hicas lock bar in , traction rods, new rear bushes, castor rods, adjustable front camber arms and new seat wheel alignment being done as we speak so hopefully can go get it in a few mins all prepped for highclere this weekend!

[SSHatch]

Spent a day with Andy.

Took Jamie for a run that night & I think its fair to say he was impressed.

Few last minute things to do and we are all set to go.

rough figures? your not a forum warrior unless you have hektik ZOMG figures to boast about. Track times mean zilch

stock 26 on what, -5's with supporting mods with track work in mind.... thinking 18-22 psi and 340-380 RWKW's?

this time since it was such short notice i got bridgestone select to do it, the rough alignment my mate did wasnt too far off perfect! next time might try goodyear, heard good things

GTR is currently in the garage undergoing some minor upgrades.

Turbos coming off to be replaced with a pair of new GT2860R -5's with some Tomei Expreme Dumps.

ViPec ECU is in and was running well until I decided it was time for the turbos to go.

New Castor arms up front, camber and traction arms in the rear. Camber arms for the front are currently being fabricated.

While I am doing this figured I may as well throw in a new Gates timing belt kit along with an N1 Water Pump. (Yes it does see a lot of track work so its worth the extra)

So, looking forward to the Highclere Hillclimb on Feb 13th. Should be a good shakedown for it all.

Andy wont have any problems adapting to ViPec... Did you get the plug in V66 or V88? I'd like to hear what Andy has to say about it, as I'm going to need a more comprehensive ECU when I get back.

I heard of a 33 GTR that was tuned there last week, same turbos as mine, put out 460rwkw atw on 24psi.

There is another 33 GTR getting round Hobart as well apparently that put out 440rwkw, think hat was tuned at the same place also.

Thats enough to convince me...

It's not so much the peak numbers that the cars put out, be the motors that last after he's tuned them... He tuned XRATED nearly 6 years ago now... the wot tune was spot on for racing, the stock 15yo bottom end lasted two seasons of racing before I blew it up using too much gass on a 200m skid.

460rwkw from -5's ... must be one hell of a head on it.

I was thinking the same thing, a killer head package or maybe it drinks jungle juice.

Stock 26 with -5's, Tomei Expreme Dumps, Zorst, ViPec ECU, tuned on Premium (not Ultimate) and running a mere 17psi...

Safe, conservative and more than a handful in the wet...

Figures??? Its the times that do the talking. You can have 4 gazillion killerwasps but if you cant put them to good use then they are worthless

Unfortunately I blew a hose or something today at the Hillclimb and lost 90% of my killerwasps and couldn't get a run in when the hill finally dried out. Had to sit in the pits and watch while I slipped from 2nd outright all the way to 12th as everybody got good clean runs in on the drying track...

i had such a shit day i would of been better of running on foot for the event, bring on collinsvale i say to redeem myself lol

[Mr. Untouchable]

MMMMMmmm the skyline gods were unkind.

how did Jaymie go? I think I saw his car on saturday, in the cbd which made me think he didn't attend?

Spot on. Power delivery, reliability and consistancy is they key!

[SSHatch]

The gods were unkind.

Mine blew a cooler hose off and seeing the pits were a mud bath I wasn't climbing around underneath to put it back on.

Had to watch myself drop from 2nd outright to 12th by the end of the day when the track had dried out and everybody got about 4 - 5 seconds faster.

Jamie took out fastest time of the day. Impressing times early on in the wet and then even more so later as the track partially dried so there were mixed conditions on the way up the hill.

Did Andy have much to say about the ViPec? I'd be interested to know what he thought of it.

Times and mph... are the proof. I just do it for the FUN! HA hAH!

[SSHatch]

From what I can gather, Andy was his usual self and didn't really say much.

He did say that the software was pretty much just another version of the same old stuff.

He did have issues and had to use my laptop instead of his own as there is a very specific sequence that must be followed when installing everything for the first time. If its not done correctly then the wrong USB drivers are installed and the laptop wont connect to the ECU and they are very difficult to uninstall.

Jump on the ViPec website and check out the features for yourself. That and the support offered through the ViPec forums was enough to convince me to go that way.
