Thats us.

Pretty dissappointing, looks like we picked the wrong night to go for a virgin run. Neither Carlo or myself had run the quarter before so it was a good experience. I chose stupidly to ignore judds advice to give it 6k off the line (more like 4,000) and bogged down, this along with a very ordinary run and not knowing what to expect landed me a 14.8 (boo)

We hoped to get back to have a proper run but the buggers turned us away at the last minute.

Everyone seemed to be having problems last night (Everyone being SAU guys). Missing gears, bogging down, traction etc it was all happening.

Still though its great that your all getting out their and giving it a go. My highlight of the night woulda been the rotary that wheelstanded and left half his rear bumper behind. Thats gotta be the best wheel stand ive seen in my life. I think he still held onto it to get a 11-12sec pass lol.

hehe..nar first time cant expect much n e way. any one got the vid of my run :) I wanna see the burnout couldnt tell if clutch was slipping or tyres spinning. I actually launched at around 6,100 felt ok cept hit rev limiter in 2nd for about 5seconds...before i relised was soo stupid but hope to give another go in 2 weeks.

Tex... I'm starting to think that you need to either a) quit your job and become the full time SAU camera man (the pay sucks though)

B) hire someone to be your assistant!

Soooo... I should choose between quitting my job, therefore having no income, to do a job that pays nothing, OR I should hire someone (presumably using some of the money I don't get paid for doing the job) in order to help me with it?

Hmmmm... Let me sleep on that one. :bahaha: :rolleyes:

Has anyone ever told you you're an ideas man, Dan? :)

Carlo,

Ur adrenalin levels may have caused you to apply the throttle a little to much 4 a RWD, plus the extra grip of the surface at EC.

With my old GTST, I tried different throttle applications when accelerating from the hole-shot.

eg: try 3500rpm launch and progressively accelerate by squeezing the throttle B4 nailing it.

With a Helmet on, and cars and people around you.....it really is harder than it looks.

and yeah, Trackdays are way more fun....:(

As soon as my new clutch goes in I'll be out there too :(

Nick - I did a few trials before going out to EC and I found anything below 6000rpm I bogged badly. I was heaps hesitant to do it but the only way to get it off the line fully is to use the rev limiter or just shy of it..... while you're holding it on the line like that it seems like your car is going to explode haha. I've been told to hold the car with the handbrake and let the handbrake slip whie I come off the line..... I'll try this next time out.

Judd what times did u get? I remember last time I saw ur out there you did pretty good for a stockish GTR.

yes im quite happy.with the time..just not the circumstances.car i was meant to run throttle jammed open so i was waiting there by my self. waiting for the car looking back next minute i looked at my lights and they were green..i know its not timed from then. so put me off..but still managed PB time. so happy in that respect.

Most of us got 1 run which sucks. Buster got 5 runs..but he got there at 2pm. i was planning too but got held up then crash on the M4 didnt help. wasnt a real good day.

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
