your right man, i wouldnt have a clue cause my boost guage says 7psi and it doesnt waver till later in the rev range for 9psi, once it hits these marks it doesnt move, mabey i should throw it out

its a ****ing catback u tool, thats it, the boost does not spike, jump or whatever, but then again what the **** would i know, its not like i have a clue what the **** im on about,  there is no ****ing bleed valve, there is no punched out cat or dump pipe or anything, yet im running 14.1, so mabey willowbanks timing gear is ****ed too, got anything else to blame it on?

you ****ing got up people for raggin on your car, your no bloody better yourself you jerk

9 psi is a bit higher than the stock 7 psi ...... I think it has made a difference by putting on a cat back exhaust ..... god damn you take shit to seriously, my point was that was quicker than the supposed 14.5 times nissan quotes. Which I'm happy for you.

i like that last post :)

thats the way we all should care about it..

hahaha, well atleast i do..

umm but seriously guys, even iff for eg, i was to run my car on the 1/4 and i was getting shitty times, then i for some reason started inscreasing without mods...

dont you think maybe ive fine tuned my dragging technique..

and 87vlt - dont whinge about that, coz you know you were annoyed when someone else did it to you

oh and i ripped into 87vlt for accusing my car of running more boost than the boost guage says

Seriously man stop getting abusive otherwise you'll end up ban like I was. I want to discuss this in a mature manner. Where do I meantion a boost gauge? I said stock boost ..... not what your boost gauge said. You don't need a bleed valve to increase boost by small amounts. Small changes like the strength of the actuator pull, more free flowing exhausts, etc increase the boost, only slight but its still there. This is what I believe has contributed to you getting such a good time with a car thats almost stock car and dude you should care cause its not just a car that gets it to those times.

ill take the catback off, it will still have 7psi below 5000rpm and 9psi above 5000rpm

thats the way r33s are from factory.....

hell if ur that desperate to prove it wrong, ill take my exhaust off and drive it round the block

1. ull see no change in the boost

2. ull pass out from the gasses

3. cops will be called cause of noise

but it will still be 7psi below 5krpm and 9 above it

or you could make up an exhaust that goes from the turbo down to just under the firewall, and drive around on the road like someone i know, who was subsequently caught and fined.

Sounds wicked, turbo spools so loudly, neighbours dont like it so much.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
