SHOW WILL NOW BE ON SUNDAY 1st JULY!

Here is the plan so we can all go together and not get lost.

Newcastle guys meet up at Twin Servos at Wallsend 5:30 am (for 5:45 leave)

Central coast people meet at Twin Servos on F3 at 6.00 am (for 6.15 leave when newcastle people drive through)

If people dont want to meet there wait on the freeway at some stage and wait for us to go by.

These times are not negotable as some of us have committed to help out and be there early. If your not on time we WILL leave without you .

If all goes to plan this should get us to Granville Park by about 8.30 am at the latest......I hope :cool:

Leaving the twins at Wallsend at 5.45am and getting to the twins on the freeway at 6am. So, the cruise speed is 180km/hr down the freeway? Might be worth getting up that early for this cracking pace.

Just curious as I drive that way every day, and it take more than 15min doing 130km/hr.

Is there a second group that is heading down at a later time....just for those that can't be stuffed getting up at the sparrow fart time??

oooo early

Come on Dave you know you wanna :whistling:

You might drive that way every day but still doesnt help your reading skills!

It allows us from 5:45 till 6:15 to get there, so when all the Newcastle guys get there the Coastie's should be there ready and we can leave straight away. No one really wants to stand around chatting and freezing their butt's off at that hour of the morning. :rolleyes:

Do what you will but some of us have said we will help out at the show as the fairies just dont come and do it all ;)

Now now kiddies :whistling:

It may seem like an early time, but as has been said some of us are committed to helping out and this is the earliest we can get down there.

In actual fact, we should be down there earlier, but I refuse to leave any earlier than this.

Also, cars are allowed in from 8am, but keep in mind that people will not let in and out anytime they want this year, so there will be a cut off for when you can enter your car.

And by getting there early we can all park together for a much more enjoyable day.

We need a tarp and some tent poles! lol!

I mean come on we have to be there by 9 am and gettting there at 8.30 is not at all that early!

I'm hoping we will be there earlier as I would hope there isnt too much traffic.

I will buy a pop up canopy thingo/tent thing for us to sit under if someone takes it down, I have NO room in my car. It should fit on a back seat.

6am at Twin servos .. *starts to curl up in a trembling ball*

Any of the coasties doing this? After all I have to travel 30 mins Nth to come back south! If no one else is insane enough to get up at that hour then il be waiting on the side of the F3 near the Gosford on ramp! :blush:

Oh well if we need to be down there by that time to get our cars in, then I spose I can make the early run :D

What time were you planning on leaving Jev? Puttting the 34 in as well?

Looking at leaving at 8.30 and heading down with a friendly group.

Neither of the Skylines will be entering, they are well used on the track and western roads so the front bars are far from show worthy.

Are you entering?

Thats right central coast people meet at 6am. Newcastle people drive through at 6 15am :cool:

Wallsend to twin servos on freeway = 30 mins.

Your just a winning personality aren't you.

I went on a Forester GT/XT cruise the other day....and it was refreshing to be around people that are car enthusiasts and genuinely nice people instead of people with their head shoved so far up their arse with a complex of my car goes faster, my car looks better and my car has this.

With such helpful replies as above, no wonder Skyline owners get a bad name among other car enthusiast groups.

Hey a quick question

How many of the Newcastle people and coasties are making there way up for the shown and shine

I think there is about 10 of us going so far.

im in anna , but im a-f f fraid to take my car there, its in the worste state atm stupid defects.

Every Skyline is worthy of going to the show, they are all pretty. :cool: There are lots of prizes and give aways! Make sure you enter online too.

So go buy a Forrester then.

I'm just trying to help everyone out so they can get there and not get lost.

To everyone else just ignore Jev he follows me round on every forum having a stab at me. It's old hat now.

I dont understand why you have to pick faults with everything I say Jev its really childish. Whatever the problem is please pm me so you can move on.

    • 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
