Nice day, good fun , plenty of track time, just wish i had my car there to join in:(

Still enjoyed myself watching everyone go round though,

the Corsair challange was worth the price of admission alone. :O

Yup, it was a great day. I got to drive 4 cars throughout the day. breaking the 1.40's in the corsair challange was one of the highlights, the next was putting the 2 tone territory through its paces. I did 175km in the GTR, 10 laps in the territory and about 8 laps in the corsair, and I rounded the day out with 3 laps in Abo's weapon, until the fuel light came on.

All in all I think I spent more money on petrol then track hire, thats the way it should always be.

I will continue to chase OP for L2S days and keep the post up and current. As it gets hotter I would encourage everyone not to do too many track days.

Thanks to everyone who played in the corsair challange, the car lasted so I cant see why it wont keep running, with the entry fee's , john should be able to keep the car running.

Yup, great fun day. It's also so relaxing to go to a track day and only have to organise myself.

Tried out the new diff. Was up to 2:30am the night before putting it in at Majanals place in the mountains.

It definitely changes things. I came down the straight at about 200km/h, stabbed the brakes for turn 1 then a little gas to turn 2 but was too much because of the diff and lack of rear end grip (my semis have had it), so at about 160km/h I spun around and off into the kitty litter. Had to get towed out but no damage.

That's my first big lose ever on the track. Kind of fun although I would have preferred to do it at a slightly slower speed.

Also enjoyed taking the mighty MADGTR for a spin. The GT-SS's really are great on that engine. It almost feels like a non turbo it's so linear. You really feel the extra weight when braking but the grip is unbelievable.

WHAT A BLAST

I had a GREAT day....

Very different to a normal track day.........sooo much track time, and no pressure.

Must get an in car timer,(thanks Paul for the lend) it really does improve your times when you have instant feedback on each lap.

Being first up in the Corsair Challenge Car, i obviously babied it too much, turning in a 1.46, but hey, the clutch really was crap, and i didn't wish to be the one to spoil everyones fun. I'd have been drummed outta here if it crapped itself. I gave it another go later, on a semi oiled track, redeemed a little dignity with a 1.43

Much was learnt this day (must take jerry cans fulla fuel)

A Special Thanks to my fellow enthusiasts who helped create a perfecty day!

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • 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 may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
