Hello again everyone.

Well it seems all had a good time last weekend with the social. The appreciation shown by people for the efforts of not only myself, but everyone that helped make it all worthwhile. Thanks everyone.

To keep the ball rolling on SAU South Australia, I thought it would be a good idea to create a thread for people to post up ideas on the next & subsequent future events.

These events do not have to be limited to just lunches & cruises, but can still be such simple ideas as well as say a bowling meet up or a night on the town where little planning is required. They could also be much larger events like say a beach party with games etc to keep people entertained. These are only examples so let your imagination run wild.

The idea with this is for there to be something for everyone on SAU, not all will want to attend every event & nor should they have to to be a part of the fun. So if there is something that you can think of & would really want to do post it! I want all the ideas that everyone has pop in their brain to be put on here. Don't be affraid to say it, you have nothing to loose (depending on how weird it is) by putting it up here. So fire away guys & gals. I will compile a list on this post as thing come along.

NOTE: This thread is only to post up ideas & expressions of interest in them, not to actually arrange events on. These are to be kept separate to prevent confusion & also get peoples attention when they pop up. Events do not have to be arranged by myself either, though I will likely keep doing events if people are happy for me to. If others feel that it is within their capability to do so without causing conflicts they are more than welcome to do so. SAU is for everyone

Cheers, Jared

yeah true does nissan make a 12-15person bus with a RB26DETT cause i could be the desi driver

LOL I'll be your navigator.

Im thinking a southern cruise thru plenty of twisties, down to Victor Harbor to the adventure place there, maybe, or a park - for a bbq and a chance for littlies to run around while the 'Liners bask in their glory.

However, as nice and pleasant as the above sounds - I feel some paintball is in order....... lol, maybe a few mixed teams, a cpl rounds each, whatever, but Im sure a top time had by all - just dont shoot the ladies in the face, fellas! :D

Or then there is a good gocart session, again theres a top place down Victor Harbor - and I can semi-fit in their cars too !! lol, joke, I cant.

But at least we can have fun with the route there - so many options, I love the southern hills roads.

:sorcerer:

    • 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
