Hey Pulp don't worry about your reaction time unless you want to beat someone, if you are just after your personal best time, the reaction time isnt counted into your 1/4 time so you can launch whenever you want... but don't keep people waiting too long :huh:

Nice to meet everyone last night.

I ran a first time out of 13.1 @ 105mph on 12psi so I was happy not to break anything and learn alot (ie learn my clutch slipping point!)

Nice to meet everyone and put faces to names!

See you round.

PS: Big thanks to TOPAZ for the loan of the helmet...

no probs man, didn't think I was gunna get it back there for a while... :huh:

You got a 13.1 at 105mph and I got a 13.5 at 105mph....did you have a good start?, coz I know I didn't get 1 decent start out of the 4 I had...

good to meet a few of the guys last night(i was in the gun metal grey auto r33), i really enjoyed myself. Ended up with the final run of the night being my best of 14.359, 2.359 60' at 160.21 km/h, not to bad for a auto. very happy with that (intercooler did its job) since couldnt crack 14.7 without it.

Fiona - congrats on your PB :D

Thanks :D It made my night haha (for the record, 13.2 @ 108 mph). I know I shouldn't expect too much from it when it's not running properly, but my heart is set on a 12 haha!!! Once it's tuned it should be similar to rhianne & jeremy's.

Was nice to meet everyone last night, I had loads of fun :) Thanks for organising it!

I was there specatating last night looked like a good turnout...that Black R34 GTR was Gorgeous!

and plenty of 32 GTR's as well B)

Although I was surprized at there MPH,s I thought they'd be a bit quicker over the line.....? :D

I thought mine was fairly stock but seems to run 10kmh faster over the line..!..?

Could the 32 GTR drivers post your Mods, HP, 60ft times etc

Cheers

Lindsay

Lindsay from Atwell? I remember you from R31SkylineClub, I still want a ride in your car! :blink:

That'd be me :)

Welcome to pop over anytime for a spin, although Passenger seatbelt needs fixing as it wont retract so maybe not a good idea atm :O:)

Lindsay,

My car is in desperate need of a tune so I don't think my specs are very helpful.

310ps @ all 4 wheels on 1.0 bar boost with boost controller, air filters, exhaust, HKS twin plate clutch w/ lightened flywheel, mechanical lsd in rear, GReddy pipe kit and mines rom.

Best time is a 13.2 @ 108mph w/ 2.0 sec 60ft (lousy I know). Car is getting far too much fuel though. Timing was put back to stock after engine rebuild so I wouldn't damage anything, and fuel mixtures set a bit rich.

Now ready for a proper tune and a bit more timing. I'm hoping for a mid 12 after that.

you werent! I couldnt find you....:P

my starts were bad I think....

2.0 60'

2.15 60'

Next time a 12 should be within reach.....:)

had a blast cheers for organising would def do again and cheers to all for makin me feel so welcome

times wernt great but eh i dont really mind only thing that pd me was my damn 2 ta 3 shift ill get it one of these days

gota stop linin up gainst gtrs tho make me look even slower

For the R32 GTR's I was the slowest :)

Jeremy/Rhianne - 12.6/12.9

CJ23WA - 13.1 (Sorry, forgot your name dood)

Fiona - 13.2

Me - 13.5 :(

I know I can go faster and get a lower 60' time, but my clutch was wiffy. I'd also like to know how much power CJ and Rhianne's GTR has...both gotta be over 300hp I rekon ;)

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
