thanks andrew, although i couldnt have done it without a good coach.

its great that all of us SAU'ers got the hang of it soo quickly and were doing soo good out there today.

Ed it was lucky u brought all those tyres ay, i would have still been on my first two tyres if i didnt decide to have some sexy time with the gravel trap

im up for another day.had a great time out here.There is over an 1hr20mins of in car footage.:stupid:

the rough idle was sorted,after i put the intercooler hose back on,i gave it a rest for 5 then started the car back up it was as normal on the way home.")

I tell you i was thinking the worst when it happened on the track.

Big up's to adam the organiser for sau.

I gotta say, Stephen, Ed and Chris really got their money's worth, didn't they? Was good to see the standards you all reached towards the end of the day (I left a bit before 4pm).

My photos suck, but for future reference, does anyone know how to take a 16-image shot (in Burst mode) and download it onto my PC as individual photos so I can create a GIF animation file? d00dz?

Maybe I should have just shot them in video mode. Oh well...

I used a really old program (Paint Shop Pro 5 Animation - 18MB's) to grab all the jpg's and shrink it's resolution and then put them in a animation, all by clicking some "next" icons :stupid: .

A few vids: (I'll have another few more up later tonite)

It was all you bud Jess and I just was there to fix your car.lol hahahahahahahhahahah

By the way thanks Adam for the day and look forward to the next one.

Hi Guys!

Wow - what can I say?

Was a freakin awesome day!

To all the guys who were ou there with me, you guys were great and did an awesome job!

I loved it out there, and want to do more of them!

Thanks to all the spectators who came and supported the club :stupid:

Now to look at all the photos and such!

Dude I reckon two more goes and you are ready for the G1 comp.

ya reckon? i was starting to feel really confident towards the end but getting used to different tyres all the time really made it hard, she didnt do too badly for just coilovers as only suspension mods....

im going nuts on the suspension mods, swaybars, bushes arms, everything to tighten it up a bit more then ill have more feel and control for her... and hopefully a bit less or a bit more grip on the front end.. thats what i was battling with....

A front bar, lots of tyres and a funky wheel alignment were my only battle scars

Adam, thanks mate it was a great day!

When is the next one! Im eager for more sideways action!!!!!

Huh, I was sitting in the same area...amazing ehhhh. Maybe because we do not know each other? How about we organize a social day when we can meet and talk .... and manage to put a face to ..people names...hehehehe

Maybe next time.....

EUG.

Wow thats bad, have sauer's next to us and dont even know it :)

Most of us go to the SAU monthly dinner you should come along and say hi sometime :)

Just want to say that the drift day was magic...Well done to all the guys that got out there and tryed it :( by the afternoon you were really getting the hang of it and finding your groove and it looked aweome.. :blush:

Well done Adam for organising it

Cant wait for the next one.........DRIFT ON!!!

oh yeah forgot to thank Jess aswell for the help she gave me... sorry

i think it would be better if i got some suspension mods for the next one ill see how i go

and a big thanks to adam for organising it

Thats a good price.

Hey,

Were you the White R33 out there?

oh yeah forgot to thank Jess aswell for the help she gave me... sorry

i think it would be better if i got some suspension mods for the next one ill see how i go

and a big thanks to adam for organising it

It's ok, im just so stoked you did so well :blush:

I liked the way the day went everyone was going out to have fun the expert guys understood this and by them going out with the people at the same standard made it fun for all.

I still am so stoked STEV CAN DRIFT

next event the DECA. there ill heap u andrew and jess bring on the drunken times alot quicker as a thank you for all the coaching and support.

ohh yeah how nice was the black and yellow 180... it screamed. there were some nice demos on the day aswell as the battle between GO 180 (alexi) and that black and yellow 180

a few pics.

line up

The great thing about the day is that every1 improved as the day went allong.

Yall should go a locked diff of sorts.it was great for drift.I am going to start a diff shimming tutorial,(big thanks to Mike of D1NZ for shedding light on the subject),with pics for r33.so DIY peeps on sau can do the same.

I'll be at the dinner and meet you all. Just do not expect any 20 yrs old hot shot...I am 45...:laugh:((((

Maybe that is why....better don't finish this sentence..hahahahah. Still I love my line.... really hurt when I see cars running off the track. I don't think I'll run my baby through this...maybe a drag day or a track day....

I am going for the CAMS license pretty soon. Car is ....ready

EUG.

Eugen, who cares about age matey!

Im 25 - with my grey hair people think im 55 and I act like Im 15

:laugh:

Craig - diff ftw - help me with mine then hahah

stoooopid tyre took me out for around an hour of fun :P

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • 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
