well im not going then. not just because i work for the ABC, but because that show is the most false and mis-leading program ever created. its purely for ratings, cause we all know what hot topics "young drivers" and "hoons" are like at the moment. do you know what kind of an angle their going to put on the story?

Knowing TT it will no doubt be about young drivers and hoons but seeing them at Wakefield (i.e. off the street) can only be a good thing? The story is something about young drivers need for speed so I am hoping that some of the "regulars" I see out there turn up, i.e. the older gentleman that punts his AMG CL500 (or whatever it is) around, some of the WRX fellas etc. They will no doubt put a spin and probably say how we "hoons" are honing our skills on the track for the street or some crap. But I want to give Wakefield the best opportunity to promote itself.

I was going to try and get interviewed to say how days at Wakefield are getting people off the street, thats not just young drivers but older drivers and getting them to experience what there limits are and how quickly they find them in a relatively safe environment. Drivers are learning skills for life that could help them in a dangerous situation on the street.

Then again that might be edited by Today Tonight to read something else.

At least the ABC (and SBS) seem to report in a non-biased fashion rather than sensationised garbage that ACA and TT regularly put out.

My Son Matty J had a great time at Wakefeild :) - Thanks to Eddie n Gordo for taking him and taking good care of him. Thanks to Jayce and E for making him feel welcome.

He's unbeleivably fast on the Go carts. I know he'll be drivin a HPI around Wakefield when he's old enough (maybe even Sinista).

Exactly the way to do it mate. Once he has some experience up he will be blowing the doors off me. :O Good to hear you will get him on the track early. There really is no better way to get him learning his and the cars limits. It's how a good friend of mine started and there is just no way I can compete with his driving ability.

Its an Open Practise Day so anyone can come along. I actually posted up on StreetRides (twice) and didn't get a response. More than happy for them to head out. Doesn't matter what you drive and if it's an R32 GTR you are not allowed on the track without giving me a drive first. :P (just jokes)

Thats right its the same price whether you are driving or a passenger.

Haven't set a time to leave yet but it will be early. Feel free to get all the SAU crew to meet at 7 at the Shell Servo, I might not be able to meet you there though. Knowing the guys they will be going the back way past Tarago. You won't be able to miss we will have a fair few cars up there including my car. I will be sure to be at the servo or come and grab you out there. The list so far includes:

Me - S15 200SX

Coxy - SR20DET 1200 ute

Dan - VY Clubsport

Joe - Clubsport

Chris - XD ute (400rwhp NA 351)

Johno - Evo VIII

Luke - R33 Skyline

Pete - R33 Skyline

Niko - Supra TT

A few others aren't 100% yet and Ben from VE might even take the work ute out like last time (V6 VS shitta ute)! haha Unfortunately the race car is still undergoing surgery after Phillip Island.

Anyone else?!

List updated.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
