The revised schedules on 2011 mean a gearbox oil change every three years if I don't cook the oil. Way too long for a performace beast. I like the idea of changing every 12 months with FFL4 as I'll only do about 4-5K pa if that.

Quick vid from Pod ont he weekend, lost loads of quality when i converted it but never mind....
made an 11.324 pass at 122mph....slower than last time, but i wasn't using LC2, instead i had COBB level 1 3300rpm launch with VDC off and as you can here the bridgestones just squeal searching for grip. Was a hot day and no car out of my mates was able to hit previous bests, for reference Stock GTR was running 11.95/12s which is very slow!
EDIT vid not working will stick on youtube

Yes, with VDC in R mode i was tripping it into cutting my power, with VDC off too much wheel spin
Hope that the MY11 LC4 upgrade will allow a R mode launch with out pulling the power.....probably wont, the only other option is to lower first gear boost i guess, or get some better rubber

I read somewhere on gtroc that someone with tuned MY11 was still having issues with R mode cutting in on launch. If Cobb supports in gear boost values should be fixable. I guess it's a fine line between too much torque and wheel spin and not enough and a slower time.

Sounds good John, i'm speaking to ben now about injectors and downpipes so will get him to maybe dial back 1st gear boost for a drag map and see how that goes

Yes, but car is mainly for street and booking track time is always in advance so just have to go for the unrestricted or higher noise level ones as and when they are....the downpipe release so much more power it's hard not to do them.....

Had a 32GB USB stick delivered today, so I can load my tunes on. From what I've read this program is required to make sure the music plays in the right order:
http://www.anerty.net/software/file/DriveSort.php
Apparently the sound system plays by the date/time the file was created instead of by Alphanumeric file name.
I hope I can copy the Sonos music library from NAS drive on to the USB stick using that program. The music is recorded in AAC lossless, but I'm not sure the audio system supports it? Might have to convert everything in to MP3...
