Some awesome photos in there! Cheers to all the photo people for doing what you do best~ More memories for the grandchildren :wave:

After seeing some of the shots in Silver's album, it is 100% obvious that my car was too low :ban:

My fisrt day at Eastern Creek back in 98 I think it was with my stock standard R33 GTS-T was 2 min flat.

Thanks John, I feel all inadequate now!!! Thought my 2.03 was ok with exhaust and suspension.

Apparently I need to try harder, much harder! jeez...

Thanks to all the photographers! Great work. Silver Arrowz, can we get the hi-res versions? you can pm me if you want.

Slot car went well 1 min 45.56, KAAZ fixed traction problem although being 2 way it pushes the car into a few corners so looking at doing something here.

Can't wait for the big one with the SAU Vic boys 10th November.

You better be ready to run in the 1.30's mate if your going to be playing with us! :D

wilch; a few of the photos of my car in Silver's album show my rear end almost dumped on the ground!!! That's my very inaccurate gauge of it's ride height relevance to that track.

On a good note; I've noticed that the once un-even wear on my front tyres have now fixed themselves after the track day... good old natural evolution (or not so natural) :D

FANTASTIC photos.

Thankyou for posting them.

I had mounted a video camera, made a bracket and bolted it through the child restraint mount. But got knocked back from scrutineering because it had to be in an enclosed capsule and strapped down. Hopefully I will make something up for next track day.

Great work

Heres the CAMS guide for mounting cameras.

That seems a little over zealous but I suspect that if you take a common sense approach of, no doubt it is secured completely firmly then they wouldn't have a problem with it. They don't like things that move around.

My dodgy sensibilitties say that I'm wearing a helmet so there's only so much damage a video camera can do to me in a crash.

They hate my amp in the boot cos it moves slightly on it's mount. It doesn't move more than a couple of mm and it's in the boot so can't get me anyway but that's their general philosophy so that's what we aim to deal with.

The strange thing is that of all the track days I've been to (about 20) it's only at the two RENEW days that anyone cared. I've asked around and people say that each scruitineer is slightly different and has his or her particular foibles. Next track day I will inform you all again in advance that this is where it's at.

All that said, they are there to make us safe, not make our lives a misery.

Silver- Arrowz absolute top quality pics I am impressed, really. I would like to use some pics on our site if OK including that in your face black R34 thing.

Snowman yes 1 30's is quick and will lose the anchor on the love boat and then we party.

You realise even 1 min 39 is like a 1 min 4 or less at Wakefield.

If people could be patient with the pics. They're coming but thanks to unwired's SNAILband internet, it's awaiting uploading.

Yeah the scrutineers absolutely LOVED my fuel setup... I don't even know why I lined up for scrutineering when Adam pointed it out at the start.

In the end; thanks goes to the blokes who lent a helping hand in "securing it"... much appreciated! Think I might make a stainless plate that holds it in place and keeps it from view, that way they won't even know what's behind there!

Might I add that the scrutineer dude must've been shitting bricks after that RX-7 blew up...

      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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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...
