sorry only saw this thread now!

doing the JDM series is something I want to get into at some stage. I will be doing the Top Gear rounds next year, will it also be possible to do the JDM rounds as well or will the schedule be too hectic? for example I dont really want to be doing a JDM round on a saturday and back up and do a Top Gear round on a sunday.

but yes I am very interested in this format.

how did everyone go?

when is the next event? I would like to come along and spectate.

does anyone have the JDM calendar for next year?

this would be a great series to promote if someone with a bit of influence got behind it.

The next round is on Saturday the 10th and Sunday the 11th of November. Its the last round for this year, and next years calender hasn't been published yet by Qld Raceway. If you go to their website and look at the calender you'll see the dates of the QRCS which is where the JDM stuff is run.

Sadly there aren't too many people of "influence" around who can push the series and promote it.

Those of us who have been attending the rounds try and promote it but people seem barely interested as they'd rather thrash a car in drift then race it. Either that or they say "yeah yeah I'll be there..." then never show. Disappointing really since there are scores of capable cars around. Hundreds of cool import cars, and no-one wants to use them :bunny:

know how you feel, most people are into drift, drag, v8s. for some reason.

If holden/ford (v8) hadnt whinged about losing group A back in the day so hard to the turbo'd cars i think circuit racing would be alot more interesting to watch and im sure there would be bigger club events with turbo cars encouraged to run rather then everyone thinking v8's are the only things to do real racing and that all jap import cars are built for drifting.

I think the main problem is that a great deal of the cool imports are all street cars and owned by teenagers or very young adults and not proper race cars that can be allowed to race and risk getting damaged. Its the main reason why everyone is keen on doing timeattack stuff and staying away from anything physical.

Four posts up, you'd have read the answer to the first question.

The next round is on Saturday the 10th and Sunday the 11th of November. Its the last round for this year, and next years calender hasn't been published yet by Qld Raceway. If you go to their website and look at the calender you'll see the dates of the QRCS which is where the JDM stuff is run.

Restrictions? None at all. Basic safety requirements as per all racing, rollcage, harness, race suit, fire extinguisher, capable car.

thanks for the link, looks like all questions answered there.

How big are the fields you are getting?

I will get out and have a watch for sure. Don't know about having a go until I have seen it... :D

You need a cage to go racing

I wont be racing this year now. Too much crap has hit the fan with work and the car etc. so I'll be using the balance of this year to clean up and prepare the car properly for next year.

ok so you need a cage to do the JDM series.

what about the Top Gear series? My 300 doesnt have a cage in it yet, do you need a cage to run in the Top Gears?

this is something id luv to get into, but money is a real problem for me. Maybe I could join a team, and help out :dry: so any one preparing to enter this series, in need of an extra mech hand, or driver let me know :)

I've tried to think of ways to help get people into motorsport, yes its expensive, but I also know how much fun it is :D

perhaps I will be able to help in the future somehow because I would like to.

however in the meantime...

what about getting a group of guys together to build a race car, maybe 5 or so guys, to make is less expensive to build a competitive car and get into it? and you could share the driving duties evenly between the team.

i have looked at going into something like this with makes, it all works well until someone crashes the car. yeah motorsports are expensive however if you want to get on the track and have fun there are some cheaper ways of doing this.

I was sure you required a full cage to race at top gear....but then one weekend there was a bloudy pretty well stock gtr with no cage and he was out there running with the rest of us...so yeh im not sure what the go is now. Probably best to check with qr about that to get the latest news on it.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
