Just thought i'd let everyone who had a run down the strip on the weekend that we all got beated by green vyss. Claytons car. Yup, Joe rekons he smoked us all yet im still struggling to remember him even racing you guys.

He is boasting that he got the fastest time down the strip. How funny considering the Lights nor timers WERNT working. The guy in the tower box even mentioned that. Well i remember him saying it wasnt working early that day...? So pack Em' up boys, just no matter what Mod's you do or how you drive, you just cant beat the shit stream coming out of joe's mouth.

Guest Rexlr8

No, this is were your wrong. He raced Pearson in that white thing... So, he's compairing that to all of us.

And remember, the timers were working at full potential.. Says Joe... Think my ears are bleeding :D

Haha, i heard you did. You raced just as i got back to the line up so i didnt see :)

i probly wont go out to the drags dont hav enough cash but ill br happy to rip a nnnnnasty burnout saturday night im getting new tyers sat morning so if sum one wants to get a camera and record it just watch me act mad :D:bunny::);)

oh and joe a wankner camelo rang him and joe was shittin him self if u read wat it said on you tube about not to listen to those wallys clayton took his car to get checked out at melos he told him wat was wrong with it then went and fixed it and joe took all the cred saying melo was wrong and shit and clayton was lickin joe ass like no tomorrow go read it people on you tube

hey guys. since there are going to be full race bred cars out tomrorow... are we still allowed to run?

I think there is a street stock class and a super street stock or something of the sort..

Pretty sure they said if your registered you can fit into a class and have a run.

I didn't see joe until late in the day and missed his run.

I didn't see a 1 decent commodore pass at all last weekend.

15" stock tyres or 20" bling rims do not = good 1/4 times. Just wheelspin or burnouts.

If any commodore owners fit some decent tyres, then we might see some low times.

I have rotated my tyres and have been doing some 2nd gear testing :thumbsup:

Seems to make more smoke than the 1st gear efforts last week.

Im hopeing after my minor mod's to come i can land 12's. Just some heatwrap too cool things down a bit.

But i guess the strip is the way to find out. Does anyone know when there are just shit and giggle runs?

I want to see how fast i can go, but i dont want to be in some event/qualify thing against them machines.. f**k that. I would like just a run against anyone but mainly to find out my time. Not weither im faster or not.

Started off the day with BK and I doing consistent runs between 12.5 -12.8 around 105-110 mph in the heat.

Then at 6.40 pm on the last run of the day we got serious. Dropped our tyre pressures down to 18-20 psi and made the most of the cooler weather.

BK 12.17685 1/4 112.09 mph

OT 12.20889 1/4 112.41 mph

I think VSPEC is definately capable of seeing high 11's.

Looking foward to tomorrow 10 am, hope we give some of the V8 guys a good run.

Saw Fab34, thrustt, Mr.Msquito & Rexlr8 guys in the crowd. Also anyone I may have missed, Thanks for the support.

    • 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
