It was a good day despite the fact that the track had NO grip at all. Guess that big storm washed all the rubber away.

Although I must say I much prefer 3 lap sessions to 20min session. I spent over half of my track time cooling the car down rather than driving fast and most other people (at least in my group) were doing the same.

Hi all, I am glad you all had fun. We made the session 20 minutes to try and give everyone plenty of track time, too much by the sound of it! lol

I am considering the next one maybe have in 15 minute sessions instead of 20 minutes. Which for someone around the 1:45 is about 7-8 laps.

We got a few extra sessions in because there was not many break downs on the circuit, 2 tows for the day.

I will let you all know when the next on is on!!

Cheers

Adam

Thanks for organising the day Adam!

I have to agree with Snowman re: the length of the sessions - 15 mins would probably be a better format.

I was surprised with how little grip there was out on the track - must've been all the rain that there was recently.

Oh - and I need new pads... Anyone got any ideas where to pick up the Ferrodo's from?

Cheers,

matt

Yeah thanks for organising the day. It's one of the better run track days i've been to in a while.

I also agree 20min sessions was too long. Tyres and brakes overheating in that time. I like the idea of 1 warm up lap, 3-4 flying fast laps and 1 cool down lap.

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
