Thanks Simon i think it was (R34GTT) that came out with me and showed me the track as well as explaining all that important newbie stuff.. i am defently adicted to the track like herion!..LOL

And for anyone that wanted to know about the New Potenza Adrenalin tyres i must say they are awsome!!... The guys i took for laps in my car could not belive the levels of grip available from these tyres, allthou i was down on power and my clutch slipping it seemed i was allwase catching people thru the corners in group 4 so i cant say good enough things about these tyres considering there a road tyre.. much impressed!!

I cant wait to get out there again!!.. weres all the pics?? :D

There where some pretty Tuff R33 Gtst's out there. i followed one for 2 laps thinking i could pass it one the straight, no chance must have had some power.

Was setting up the push to past(scramble boost) when you spun out turn one very nice car was group 3

I want to do it again anyone got a race track in there back yard ????? I'll bring chips and drinks if I can use it :D

Yep.... even has a couple of spare cars.... good ol Scaletrix (spelling?).... ;)

If it was a white one with a drift wing and later the front bar came off then the monster was pumping out 260+rwkw even gives the GTR's are run for their money on the straights hehe. :)

Yep thats the one i couldnt get along side you to pass and was worried about the extra 5psi poping the intercooler piping off if i ran the scramble boost.Good fun tho.

and I ended up taking one 5 times my size :) Could do with one my size adam :). I give you fitty cents for postage. you take it? :P

:thumbsup: same... Steve gave me & Cassie one each as we were leaving... size L, looks like a dress on me lol

31/8/07 anther track day

dude, you are causing problems in my marriage :laughing-smiley-014:

Did anyone manage to time my V35?

The guy that was with me said he got me using his phone, in the very high 1min 23secs. Sounds a bit too good I think.

Cheers

LOL.. thats wasn't me bro.. my car is SLOW and they put me in Group 2(B) rofl.

I was the one with the same sparco rims as you but in BLACK on the white r33 gts :thumbsup:

hey that was me with the GTS-T. she go's ok i suppose hahaha. i was just glad to get her out of the shed and give it all she had with out seeing the red and blues. i had major traction issues all day and had to turn the boost down to 0.8 bar. but i am now looking for some 17's to fit some semis to so i can have another go. i am addicted.

Many thanks to Adam for organising and to all the 'helpers' on the day. It was great to be able to take passengers again!

Credit to all drivers, the track was not user friendly, yet there were no serious offs. I have to mention Dave, my adopted track newbie for the day, well done Dave, you progressed really well - I look forward to seeing you at the next track day!

    • 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
