Big thanks for organising the day!

I had a lot of fun, and managed to pull a 1:09.00 out of the Silvia :rant:

I was very tempted to head straight back out and try to get into the 8's, but it had just started raining again...

SR20DE power! :rant:

Good to see a naturally aspirated silvia beating all the skylines and the rest of the field there on sunday! Imagine how much quicker the silvia would of been than all the skylines if it had a snail, it would of been a no contest :O

It was an awesome day, the atmosphere was great and everyone was very nice - it was good to meet a lot of you (even though I don't know who is who on here).

I managed a 1.16 (confirmed by two people timing) and a possible 1.15 (unconfirmed - only one person timing) and ran very consistent 1.17s which I was very happy with (only 2nd time at a track).

I did end up having a awesome hand warming fire towards the end of the day. Managed to get the car home and get to bed at 3.30 this morning. So very tired right now.

Looks like fun day and all the main players there and good roll up considering it was FREEEZING, I must admit I am a bit of a fair weather sailor with my boat. I was home with my slippers, cardigan, log fire and a glass of Port.

I was there in spirit and had the big download of what went on and all from Paul L. I heard the brake air deflector worked we.

Sounds like I need to visit and buy a set of brake air deflectors....

lol! yeah.. the snail is only good for the straight.. not the most help around the corners!! :rant: Its just the awesome driving of the owner :rant:

Was definately impressed with the cars running semi-slicks, good argument for people to buy them, def help with the lap times holding better corner speed..

That NA Silvia seemed to penetrate my brain everytime it came past, was quick though..

TJ very upset I did not get to see you leave i was to busy going side ways with sam with the semi slicks on god he is funny when he drives he kept head butting me every time we went around a corner.

How did you go anyway ?

Yeh I know what you are saying Brads R32 GTR the one with the side pipes GOD every part of my body hurts from the cornering and acceleration. Awsome awsome awsome

semi's all the way next time

Great day, heaps of track time, wet and dry conditions and nice cold temps for the tubos.

My only problem with the cold temps was that by the time my tyres were up to temp my brakes were overheating, (dam standard brakes!)

Thanks to the organisers, well done.

Great day for me. Paul got me from 1:21 to running somewhere around 1:16. Think I can definately knock more off of that with practice. I'm still convined I'm a ways from needing more HP and the major gains are all about the driver. The car handled fantastic. The SK bits had it very well balanced and it was never in doubt. In my case spending on the stabalizer bars, camber & castor kits was the right call over shocks/coils. Recommed it for Jess's car

Sweet day, was good to get the R34 out for its last run. But hope it wont be its last time on the track.

I had a very enjoyable day too.

Thanks heaps to all the people who organised such a top day.

Paul, thank you very much for showing me what the car is born to do and I will promise you that yesterday was not the last time it will be on the track. I will be at the circuit club EC trackday on 4th August. :rant: (hoping to break my 2:17 time in my astra :laughing-smiley-014: )

Excellent day I had an absolute blast. It was very well organised congrats to Adam and the crew.

What happened to you Adam towards the end not much track time?

I think I was running in the low 1:20's, I could not get the lap timer to work dam it. If any one did time me please let me know what you got.

I am looking fwd to the next one.

Cheers,

Ryan

Thanks to those who made this day possible on the day and getting it up and running.

Big thanks to those people who jump in the car with me and gave me pointers and to the guy who lent me the Jack.

No idea what i was running, was good to finaly hit the track in my car :rant:

Thanks Brad(FEAR)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
