So I don't see too many skylines on the list? What's everybody else's excuses?

I just faxed my form off but thought I'd ask everybody what sort of times are respectable around winton. I stuck down a conservative 1:50 for the old datto but would be dissapointed if I didn't go quicker than that. What sort of times should I be looking fore?

EDIT: Congrats Chris on the bub chris!

Weather was perfect. I even got a bit sunburnt.

The small numbers meant that you could pretty much do as much driving as you liked towards the end of the day.

It was a shame to see some poor bloke smash his R33 GTR on one of the last sessions of the day. It had some pretty heavy damage and definitely needed a trailer home.

Well done to Archie with a P.B of 1:37.0, awesome result making him 3rd fastest on the day...

Congrats to those who competed...

Great weather and the car didn't break so all in all a sucessfull day.

Jack thanks for the advice over the phone to help me improve my times. The Stig is always there is spirit :D

It was my second outing with the first one lasting 7 laps and a broken engine a few years ago.

She was getting a bit hot though so i could only get in 3 laps before i had to back off and come into the pits.

There's definitely more in the car I just need to get more track time under my belt.

That's a real shame re the 33 as it was a nice looking neat car too. I left early and knew nothing of it. Here's hoping the repair bill ain't that bad.

gotta love winton. Such a good little track! I had a blast out there and got more than enough runs in. Nothing broke except for my pos boost controller, so i got an average of 7psi for the day and still beat my dutton time. Shows what a lot of laps will do, especially there!

You would hardly know Sau went to the rex days by looking at the turnout. Was good to meet Steve in the RX8 while doing the DT. Hopefully we'll be seeing you guys at future events.

Had a really good day, good work by the organisers, the event ran through the day perfectly.

Made me want my car finished even more now that the season is all back up and running...

Any hoo... once I recovered from the ride up in Frysie's car i set about getting some footage.

I've thrown together a bit of a clip with some of the days action...

Some bits are a bit rushed but you get the idea :P

Enjoy

How pumped up are Dave's arms after piloting the Datto? :(

That has inspired me...just rang Racepace :P Bring on being homeless and sleeping in the streets, Ol Silver will ride again :)

It is a handfull. And lets face it, driving a datsun is cheaper than a gym membership these days!

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
