For those of you with Traction control
excellent. Thanks Andy. I have just been sent the new version of the Racelogic windows software (has graphs and all sorts a little like a cross between the original dos version and the windows 6 tab GUI). It looks great, I'll be testing this shortly. Not sure I'm allowed to distribute this so I'll have to get permission first before anyone asks.

OK, I'm a complete knob
you should still be able to take the key out though when it's in Drive should you ?

Drag Strips - Are they adictive ?
Sorry Guys, I got the timings wrong. (see my original post) http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=32875 Best time... Reaction - 1.047 1/4 Time - 13.530 Terminal - 105.708 Best Terminal Reaction - 0.780 1/4 Time - 13.688 Terminal - 117.924 But I guess this makes it sound even more unrealistic now right :rolleyes: Adam, there were no intermediate speeds, at north weald they only had the above. Mike, My car is silver you mo fo :rofl: I'll prove it I'll take it to a pain shop and get a print out of the colour code (even then some people may doubt it lol). Pete, Yeah I'm well up for that mate, I may go along to the pnoc weekend at the pod you up for that ?

Drag Strips - Are they adictive ?
LOL, Why is it that whenever I post something up about my RWBHP, torque or track time someone has to say that's can’t be right !!!. When I ran 13.53 with a terminal of 117mph I had a lot of wheel spin at the start, I ran this with about 15.5 psi. I also ran a 13.6 with a terminal of 104mph with no slip but @13.5 psi. I got the slips, I have the graphs, I know what they say, I had fun doing it and that's all that matters :tongue: :rofl:

Paint jobs.
Monza fronts are far more fragile ;). The most extreme Z I have ever seen is Andy Lines but it's not finished yet.

Drag Strips - Are they adictive ?
As some of you know I had my first shot at a drag strip on Sunday. Queuing up to go on I felt fine, about 5 cars from the front I started to get a little nervous as I was next to an AC Cobra (which may I add sounded the nuts). 2 cars to go the adrenaline was building up.. I could feel it in my chest and my arms. Now it's my turn, I entered the burnout strip and dumped the clutch at 5krpm and spun the tyres up to the start line. My legs are now going through a "Shakin Stevens" session. I'm at the line the white lights tell me I'm good to go. 3,500rpm clutch at biting point…. Handbrake on with button depressed for release… Next thing I know is the green light is on and all my thoughts about gently easing the clutch went out of the window. I dump the clutch and hit the gas pedal to the floor !! 1st gear to 7kprm…. 2nd gear a little more…. Hearts now going like the clappers 3rd gear approaching red line… fook it only a little further…. Keep it in there…. Passed the line doing 117mph in 3rd gear (manual) !!!!! Brake Brake Brake… I'm breathing like a hamster on heat !!! Fook me what a rush. Joined the queue again straight away, opened the bonnet for extra ventilation and a few oil and water checks… Repeat again… And again… And again… And again… LMAO Is this $hit addictive or what !!!! Has anyone actually done the 1/4, won their race and not wanted to do it again ?

M***** F***** B****** Corsa Driver!!
ah man, bummer. I hope you can get this sorted without too much hassle. Any chance this accident may have done something horrid to the engine. I mean has it started smoking now where it didn't used to ?.

monza 3
Monza 3's have just come out. I should be able to get a pic of one on Andy's car at the weekend if it's ready which I doubt it will be tbh.
-
LOL, BMW drivers
You lit up the tyres at 70 :confused: ?. What mods you running ?
-
Oops, 18.4 psi !!
This is really up to Mac to decide whether he lets you do this rather than us mods. What I would suggest though is that if you are making £30 a unit and you now have well over 300 post, you may want to donate £20 to keep this forum up and running and become a subscribed memeber ;).

Autosol - metal cleaner

DaveW says my car is too high and needs some lowering springs. What you think?

Fairlady Badge
Oi, take it to the for sale section :rofl: you bunch of hijackers lol !!!!. stevemochan, Are you taking about the kits on the cars in XCK 1's signature ?. If so the Blue SWB is a bomex Evolution kit with a quad light conversion. The kit including the mirrors came with the car from Japan so I'm not 100% where you can get this. The silver LWB, has a stillen front bumper from Stilen (USA) via MJP auto's(in our traders section). The side skirts and rear bumper are wingwest from Zcenter (also in our traders section). The bonnet bulge and head light panel are also from Zcenter.

Oops, 18.4 psi !!
You're not alone james. I was running 10.8psi with the boost leak from the Greddy IC's. I fixed the leak and hit 17.4, heard a bit of det. Retuned back down to 14.5 before any major damage was done. I've now set my SBCi-D to sound a buzzer, go red and drop the boost to 10psi for 2 minutes if I hit more than 15.5psi, that should safeguard any future mods a little better. Can you set a limiter on your apexi controller ?

North Weald Raceway today
LOL, yeah completely forgot about that.... Thanks for helping to push my car uphill through the queues every 5 mins, also thanks for transporting the oil and water cans to your car and then back to mine after the race. Also thanks for the drinks. and thanks for keeping Cerina and Peppi company while I was on the strip.

For those of you with Traction control
My traction control seems to have gone a bit strange on me. Has anyone got a dat file (I think that's the format) they could send me ?: I have 265 x 35 x 18 on rear (eagle F1 tyres) 245 x 40 x 18 on front (eagle F1 tyres). I want to try this as a base setting then tweak it from there (once I figure out what I'm doing) stu@300zx-mods.co.uk Thanks guys

Tick Over...Fooking PITA
It's starting to sound like a TPU problem to be honest. Fine when cold but starts to misbehave when warm. Have you got anyone near you that you could try swapping the PTU's over just to see if this solves the problem ?.
