pm replied to mate.

just for every1 else out there, there is no official meet point for the west. we only have the northern pre meet at the Kmart in campbellfield.

if ur from the west, u can just jump on the convoy when we pass through the sunshine ave section of the ring road heading towards geelong. it will be about 9am that we pass this spot, maybe even 8:55. depends on how traffic is and if we leave the kmart as planned at 8:45 or a lil bit later.

if u want to join in this way coz ur from the west, pm me ur number and ill mass text who ever is meeting this way in the morning as we leave kmart.

cheers

Hey all, if I get my car ready in time for next weekend I will be bringing along my mate from Wheatley Productions (he is the guy that does the Easternats and Wintons Performance Car Mania DVD's) so we will get some awesome shots and might make it onto his next mix DVD.

Cheers

just that section of the post is enough said to make sure your car is ready.

would be awesome to see the action on a dvd.

Hey Princess, i guess you might be coming now then? lol Catcha at work on monday man.

Yeah man, looks a bit that way huh mate lol ahh well all the more reason to get the diff in and gate you some

Looks like I will be there and with a new one piece tail shaft, can't wait to test it out. My mate will also be coming along 100% to video the event so it should be good.

Does anyone know if the NS club is coming cos those guys will put on a bit of a show for sure, haha.

weather channel is unreliable. and regardless of the weather we will still go, and just hope for some dry weather when we get to apollo bay to take the photo.

^^ here is a website for the weather is looking good not bad. ^^

SO IN A FEW WORDS, CRUISE IS ON REGARDLESS OF WEATHER.

R-SPEC: your more than welcome to come down regardless of what car your in. its not a jap car special.

Jippa3000: ill add you to the list, and as far as i know NS crew are coming. they have their GOR cruise linked to our post so they know where and when and how many are coming etc. so expect a 70+ car turnout with some reasonable weather and yes they will put on a great show for us. ;-)

    • 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
