Firstly, it was great to meet the hard core vic guys, well done with making the trip up to NSW, its a long drive, but you did get to drive on a great track, and it was by far one of the best L2S's we have had this year. And by far the fastest and best turn out of Skyline mussel I have seen, you don’t get to see this many 300+ KW track GTR’s humming around every day.

We were lucky enough to get a nice warm but not too hot day. The rain stayed away except for a light spray at 4pm.

The garage I was in had 6 nice fast GTR's in it, this is the first time I have actually seen All GTR's without a GTS in sight. I think where was 10 GTR's on the day. 2 x R34's and about 5 x R33's and I think 3 x R32's.

The Vic boys had 3 GTR's all set up very nicely all with top suspension, great brakes and around 350kw at the wheels. The white R34 dropped a 1.45 and then 2 of the R33's did 1.47's. I came in 1 sec behind them at 1.48, and then the rest were all only a sec or two behind me. The Vic GTR's ruled the day. John held up the NSW banner by pushing the boat around at 1.43 which was his PB.

I would like to thank everyone for making it the best L2S day of the year. We only had one car in the CAR's group drop his load down the straight but once it was cleaned we had a great day.

I cant wait for the Vic trip next year, Im really keen to taste a few of those vic tracks.

See you all soon.

Was good to meet you and the rest of the NSW crew that came down Paul. Hopefully next time I'll have my car there rather than driving everyone elses.

If you come down for the Nationals we'll see what else we can set-up but like EC - PI is a track you'll need a day or 2 at to get your head around. So it might be better to come down for a PIARC weekend or something which runs 2 days in a row (Sat non-timed practise just like that EC day then Sunday is a full Sprint Day).

Winton is open most Fridays as well and is a tops little track.

Just remember you'll either need semi's or a cage down here though.

I'd be in for sure

Specially if led by the head of team track day ie Paul!!!

I will take that as a vote of confidence, I will be involved in making it happen, so hopefully it will be something worth going to!

SAU VIC pilgrimage here we come!

I had an ace time at EC - was actually concentrating on my driving rather than just f*cking about in the car (except when going past the cheer squad - go AYC, go!). FYI...

    • 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)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
