This day seemed to be a GT-R convention... how many were there?

Dino,

You think having to work is a bummer... try going to the track and not driving... now that is the hardest thing I have ever tryed to do... so hard that I had to go out for 2 sessions and have a bit of fun.

Benm,

If your not useing opposite lock than you are taking it WAY to easy!!! lol. some good laps though mate for your first time on the track... good to see that the new guys were into car presevation and driving sensibly. Remind me to take you for a spin next time Ben.

Akira,

No probs for the tips... duncan and I were talking about it around lunchtime and saying that the tips we give are not necessarily the right way to do things... but they are the way we do them. As Duncan said... your car is an absolute beast! and don't forget that I offered to look after it for you first!

Look forward to the next one guys and keep the pics coming. did anyone catch the last group A and B sessions?

Dan.

Most memorable moment....well it would have to be following the Formula Ford into turn 1 at 180km/hr only to find out that my skyline doesn't have the ability to handle a REALLY late turn in. My personal thanks to the track designers who allocated ample runoff between turns 1 and 2. Without them I would no doubt be part of the wall.

Oh, and another thankyou to my missus for doing the laundry later that night. Without her I would still have badly soiled jocks.

To all that attended, I hope everyone had a great day, I sure did. To those who missed out, get in early for the next one. It has to be the best way to truely experience what your skyline can do ( without attracting excess police attention ).

Now, who is working on the official "SAU - Team Trackday" long sleeve t-shirt?

Monday was the first time in my life I have driven that fast for that long (which is why i was so keen to try a trackday out in the open). Just when I started to push myself (and the car whilst catching a Ferrari :P) I lost my brakes. Next Trackday i'll have new tyres and new brake fluid and want to knock about 4sec off my lap time.

What about getting some SAU Team Trackday emblems designed and made in to stickers for your helmets? :)

I take it at some point SAU clothing will be organised? You could even make a whole badge award scheme, like Cub Scouts, you could set criteria for earning badges and the like... :):P

I'll have two shirts also... one for summer and two for winter!!!!

Benm,

Yeah... brake fluid can really suck... but I'm glad to see you had a great day... and scored some quite reasonable times considering that it was your first ever time at those speeds and you only got 3 sessions... I remember the first few trackdays going into turn 1 and thinking "my god... if I loose it at this speed I'm history..." Thanks must go to Zane for proving that you can loose it at 180km/h and still drive away.

Of the 3 people who were cool enough to take me for some laps, one went spinning off the track at Corporate Hill (turn 8).

Guess who was asking me for tips?:P

Moral of the story, benm was fortunate our paths did not cross. I would have had you off in the ruff stuff within 5 laps.:burnout:

damn didnt see this thread and posted on the other one! hehe!!

yeah URMINE was doing some awesome drifts..u shud have come to me earlier..cos then i wud have jumped in anohter car in B (like the black dc2 or sumfn) and filmed u from outside!!!

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
