No, in this video, the car has no baffle and no oil overfill.

Well this lap was far from nice, but Thanks 🙂. I have the Verus large oil pan prototype installed. I think it is v2. The v1 was the one used by @900BRZ. I don't think they have a v3 now.

@@nostreetracing86 Verus calls the one @nostreetracing86 has v3 actually. v1 was technically made before our involvement. v2 is on my car.

I have a Jackson racing oil cooler. I saw 242F peak, which was a bit high but it should be OK.

Yes, I tested it at BW#13 with no overfill and it has some drops. So I have to overfill it a bit to make it work.

@@nostreetracing86 Thanks for the info and the data you share.

Any comments/observations on the oil temps? Did the oil pan affect them in a significant manner?

​@@sikrip Oil temp wise, I didn't see an abnormal rise of temp on track compared to my previous SYMS pan (which is based on an OEM pan). On the street stop and go traffic the temperature seems to be about 10F higher in 80F ambient. When the car is moving, the temperature seems to be similar to my previous pan.

Yeah, I feel the rear is really unstable. And with an unfamiliar track layout like this, it punishing me from finding the limits. My front 22mm bar was set to soft and rear 19mm bar was in the middle. But except for the balancing issue, the shock I use also doesn't like the bumps and curbs at BW. The car frequently upset itself over large curbs, to the point that I might switch back to OEM suspension for the next event. I tried my friends car which has MCS 2 ways without remote reservoir. It handles the bumps and curbs much better my 1 way annex. I might switch to MCS next year.

@@nostreetracing86 I want to upgrade to remote reservoirs. But they're a bit of a way down my priority list. 😅 I tried moving my rear endlinks from the middle to outer hole on my rear arms yesterday, and it was a good improvement. The car rotated better in the slower corners, keeping a higher min speed and getting back on throttle sooner. I think I still want a bit more, though. But I think I'm probably done for the year. We're really getting into the rainy season in the PNW. I think if you set your front bar full stiff, and rear bar full soft on the inner hole on the control arms (if you have enough endlink articulation), it might bring you into a more manageable window. If you're still camber challenged, that extra front roll stiffness would probably be good, too. As a hail mary, you could even try swapping front and rear springs. What spring inner diameter do the Annex coilovers use?

@@grippgoat I gave up on Annex stuff. I think their damper profile (curve) just don't meet my need. They are single adjustable and only for the rebound. My opinion (which may not be correct) is that it has too little low speed compressing damping and a bit too much compression damping. And since that is not adjustable, the car doesn't react happily on bumpy tracks or high curbs. The balance can be adjusted using sway bars, but not damping. I cannot do much about it unless I opt for a revalve. I am switching to Bilstein B6 and aiming for a 0pt suspension mod under current rule book. In this case, I can use the extra mod pt for something else. I measured the coilovers, the outside diameter of the spring is 82mm. I cannot measure the inner diameter since I haven't take out the spring. The shock diameter is 52mm.

I need a pair of 10mm spacers in the front. With that, no rubbing issues so far.

The tires were hella old

Got twice in one day in 4k 😂

My GT86 was a 2013 model year FR-S, by the time I put it on track the rear shock was already leaking. After that I have put some aftermarket coilovers and later PPBRZ shocks. With PPBRZ shocks, the GT86 actually handles a bit better than stock GR86. Better entry at turns and exit is more stable. The GT86 also has a linear throttle response while GR86's stock throttle tune feels more like a ON/OFF switch (40% pedal will cause the actual throttle open to 80%). The GR86 has more torque so it is faster on the track. But overall, my GT86 gave me more smells on my face.

It's a Insta360 ace pro with external mic near the exhaust. Stabilize set to low. Overlay was done using RaceRender.

@@nostreetracing86 thank you!

How do you have your camera mounted? I haven't found a way I like yet in my GR86.

I used an item called "Tackform Headrest Mount". You can found it on Amazon. Mounted to driver side headrest. It still vibrates but is less severe.

Glad he didn’t hit anything. T2 also sees a lot of track incidents since it is a blind turn.

LMAO nah that man tsuchi caught in 4K twice 😂😂😂

Yeah, his lines were awful.

nevermind, dude's just lost.

😅

Reminds me a little of this guy. th-cam.com/video/wnLEsJizlqA/w-d-xo.html Sad I share the same general model, color, and number as him.

I would say it works mostly OK as a 1-way coilovers. But it has limitations. Also the one I received is a inverted design prototype. The shock's stoke is a bit shorter than regular version, I think that limits its performance a bit at bumpy track like BW.

This is a CCW track so mostly left turns anyway. Only turn 4 has a bit issue with oil pressure.

Still, I have seen drops on the downhill "s" (the right turn of it) but you pass there without any issue.

@@nostreetracing86 1qrt overfill is what most guys are doing now. Do you worry about sloshing or no? I drive my car to and from the track so I question overfilling 1qrt. Right now I overfill 1/2qrt.

@@autosenses2960 In my case I am not too worried. I recently installed a catch can and it doesn't seem to catch a lot of oil per track day (a few mL for Laguna + to and from the track). I also don't daily my GR86. But we do see people with 1qt overfill burns oil at start up some times so I would not say it is completely safe. Another way is to overfill the oil at track and use a tool to extract excessive oil from dip stick port when you need to go home. It is a bit hassle but may worth doing.

@@nostreetracing86 Yeah that’s also a great option. I don’t daily my GR either. But I do like to drive it on weekends in the AM. I overfill 1/2 qrt. Just a bit passed the max line on the dipstick. I AutoX at Limerock, which is basically a mini track/circuit with curbs and all. No cones/parking lot. It’s still high G 3rd gear corners. 🤷🏻‍♂️.

The screwup moments is a great teacher for car control.

With a low grip setup, those strategies mostly keep oil pressure in an acceptable state. I won't say it makes it a "no problem".

I have a small DIY board to read pressure from a sensor I installed to the engine. The data was converted to the CANbus and read by the AIM Solo DL2.

I used AIM Solo DL2 , and connected it to car’s canbus located near the glovebox. The overlay was rendered using RaceRender

@nostreetracing86 thanks so much.

Yeah, I am not very satisfied with the car dynamics now, it was a bit sketchy to drive at the ButtonWillow.

@@nostreetracing86 takes a bit more time to get it there then. Good luck!

I would like a bit more bump travel.

In this specific lap, the car was relatively easy to rotate. Not loose, just with a bit of proper trail brake, it rotates. But in the following sessions,the car was mostly understeer at entry.

What’s your current data logging / video editing workflow ?

I used AIM Solo DL2 for datalogging and RaceRender for overlay. Texts were added by Davinci Resolve.
