I'm gonna run the Link in the 33. They have an awesome after-sales customer service.

Time Attack? Where are you going to do that, Benni? Always wanted to have a go at it

.. But my turbo is too big for it.

At least they are looking after you, Cal. You gotta send back the damaged one?

Gonna go to QR and Eastern Creek once I get my new Tow Car and buy a trailer.

Just thought I'd let you guys know that we're having dinners each Wednesday for the next few weeks to discuss what people want the club to be for next year.

I know it's a hike for you guys, but you're most welcome to come and have a chat about what you guys want in a car club. I'll post up next weeks Dinner details once we have it sorted.

This is what I was planning Ben as I am not really into drifting. Just got to find that perfect GTR and strap those turbos on :)

Thanks for the invite, Sabbai... But I'm gonna have to pass on it. Just that little bit too difficult for me... And the fact my fiance will beat me. :(

Yeah. I had the same idea for Time Attack. I was only going to do the Lakeside/QR courses... But I started buying too big of everything. Now all I can do is Drag and Track Days/Powercruise. Haha. FML.

well I think that just sold me on a earls thermostatic oil cooler core.

helloooooo cost price

Also, the coil charge issue on haltech's, still a problem on the Platinum Pro plugins?

do it anyway you big girl

Also, Dan... Any idea if the 34 GTR cas is better than the 32-33 GTR items?

As far as i know to swap over to it would require switching 2 pins or so over either at the cas plug or ecu

Or does it still have the jumping wavelength at high rpm?

Rob :P

You couldnt punch anything unless it were a 'donut'

No idea, I have avoided Haltech like the plague after the issue they had with the E11v2 dropping the tune, and Haltech refusing to fix it.

Return the ECU with a hole drilled in it? No thanks. That's just shitty after sales service.

The E's werent that great and had their share of issues as you're aware

The new platinum range bith sport and pro are getting some awesome results and coverage on a whole host of cars.

Plus pretty sure software is much nicer now! (unless youve seen it)

For direct plugin ecu's with no loom extensions etc, link (vipec) and haltech are leading the charge.

And with the latest update haltech plat pro for gtr's etc is able to do fuel composition correction with the sensor wired.

    • 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
