Hi arbie.

Funny that I've never seen your car till Saturday. Now saw it twice this weekend

Saw you this morning on redland bay rd.

Hey Simon

reason you haven't seen me is cos I only drove it up from Melbourne about 2 weeks ago. It's my daily driver now so you will probably see a lot of me! Whereabouts do you live?

Jon

anyone on here own a white R35 GTR ?? plates are Q00001 or something similar ... your left side tail light has water in them ... saw u on the gateway crawl this morning ..i was in the blue 35 next to you ..

Spotted, on the Gold Coast tonight -

Black R33 GTR, 41LAN.

Silver R33 passing the bungee jump in surfers with a female driver

Black R33 turned off towards Arundel

about an hour or two ago - all nice cars :-)

spotted today and the other day as well, red r34 gt (maybe gt-t) in gympie. also regularly see a silver r34 gt-t doing laps of the main street of gympie too. and often see a black 34 gt-t in gympie as well. see a heap of 32's and 33's as well.

but there is something about both the red and silver r34's that gets my attention. that is the fact that there is only 1 real r34 gtr in gympie that i am aware of and it's bayside blue, and there is 3 gt-t's. however according to the badges there are 3 gtr's and 1 gt-t, LOL. the red 34 has a gtr badge on the boot, and the silver one has a gtr badge in the grill and a bee-r badge on the boot (that looks like a gtr badge from a distance). both are lacking in the flared rear guards department, as well as the MFD in the dash and both have 2 white reverse lights instead of 1 white 1 red.

spotted NEO 32 outside my house on mt gravatt-capalaba road , also spotted a White V35 Coupe base model at mt gravatt TAFE next to a white s15 ..

Blonde chick in a 4 door R33 with standard plates on logan road near wollengabba .. ta for the wave :)

spotted a black 34 coupe in the city on ann st (with sau sticker!) about 12pm yesterday.

also spotted a sliver R33 GTR leaving my workshop :action-smiley-069: thats an ipswich car (Hi matt!)

    • 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
