last night, spotted a silver series 2 r33 with a gtr front bar coming out of the gailey five ways carpark with some difficulty. if you keep up the good work, you will have to replace that front bar very shortly. i was the guy staring and trying hard not to laugh at your attempt to get out.

spotted a white 33 with black bonnet, number plate was amy lee on corro drive this afternoon,

also spotted a green r32 with i think a BN or vertex kit with 300zx wheels in my street at wello point if your on these forums pop round and say hi

Spotted "QWK GTR" tonight...

I made the comment to a mate, I wonder if the plate was just a catchy idea or if it really was a quick GTR...

Then the driver proved the plate belongs on that car... It certainlly shocked the bogans... :unsure:

spotted a black r34 with a verrrry nice kit on it on wednesday at griffith uni (gold coast) around lunchtime.

also spotted a laborgini orange r32 being very careful over uni speed bumps later that evening when i was about to catch a bus (my line was getting serviced).

Spotted Ein34 again waved got no wave back was in brothers silver evo9

sorry didn't see you wave, but i guess you would have seen me seriously checking out that evo

NICE car

Ok firstlly, Spotted ARE31 (R31 Import) on the M1 last night round 9pm on my way down the coast to the Casino for a heavy night. I was driving the Silver S15 (NAY000) with 18" rims which pased you while we were following that police car...

I would have beeped but the Polcie were right infront of us and I didnt want to attract any more attention...

that car ran 11's at the bank on wednesday night.

WOW, yeah people dont give allot of credit for 11's these days. But thats farking quick in my books... :)

hahah nice!! I guess those plates are right on the money! Not a sau member i take it.

Never seen the car before until last Thursday night, and I didnt speak to the owner no. So im not sure if he visits the site...

didnt seem interested in talking to a gtst owner. :wub:

You get that Noel, I just wish Shane would stop talking to us... :P

    • 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
