Hi guys here' the biggest laugh i've had on the track, took the line out to mallala on the 38degree heat and recorded my quickest time on street tyres 1'23".2, subsequently i was warned on the first lap that i was out of the gate too fast??? WTF why do we go to a race track??? then after a certain female evo driver complained to the officials that i was INTIMIDATING her by being behind her on the track (after she wouldn't pull over to the left side of the track) i was warned again for being too fast on the track WTF!!! no kidding i reckon those evo drivers are scared of us line drivers! man after i told the old geriatric official where to get off and i was using street tyres he told me i was going too fast and drifting, mate seems to me the evo boys had it in for me. heres a photo of me between 2 evo's the whinging chick is in front of me.

some you tube footage below

good work, obviously the evo girl was babying it around, its pretty simple if someone is on your ass and you feel intimidated move out the god damn way!

no shit!, we were briefed before we were able to go out and specifically told if someone is behind you let them pass! she had a little cry to the officials and they kicked me off the track!. if we cant use our cars on the track where the hell can we??

Yeh nice work mate, showed them........

As a person that is out at the track quite often with a few forms of racing, i under stand where they are coming from with the out of the gate issue, Its just common courtisy(and aparently track rules) that you DO NOT go out hell for leather on the first lap bacause of warming up tyres and car up to temp and so forth, with cold tyres and pushing hard can result in cars coming together, At the end of the day these sorts of track days come down to ONE lap time that is your best, and its certainally not gonna be your first. Besides you out there for FUN not racing for sheep stations!!

Glad you enjoyed the day when you wern't gettin reamed in the ass by officials!!

I can understand about warming the tyres up BUT when the track temp was 60 degrees i think that kinda puts that one to bed, but the officials had it in for the only RWD line on the track! no shit ive had it with sport politics! yes it was a fun day but after i gave them my previous lap times of 1'24" they still put me in the slowest group, maybe coz i have a RWD.

Hey Ax,

If had known that was you out there i would have come and said hello, was out there watching my three mates with two GTR's and Pulsar.

I had my 34 out there but did not put it on the track as it is not ready for that stuff as yet, especially with the temperatures of sunday.

Yeh i know what you mean about the temp and all, But rules are rules, and they cant just change it for one day!! was it the normal Officials or was it the EVO/GSR Officials?? See thats the problems with putting you in the slowest group.......... your gonna come up behind the slower cars......... Oh well, not much to be done about it now, maybe just head out to a normal Saturday prac day!!

yeah i spose but they were gunning for me from the start. will be keen on the next coolest prac day.

1.23 is respectable well done.

Who gives a shit about them thinking you were going "too fast" first lap out.

Thats debatable if a F1 car was lapping 1.23 first lap out no one would be saying it was going too fast for it's first lap out.

I must admit that it was hilarious to watch!!!!

Passing three cars like they were standing still going down the main straight was funny.

They never even had a chance. lol

yet another female in a mans world. if u cant hak it pull over an let the quicker ppl throw

here here if youre gonna play in a mans world play by mans rules! and dont go off crying to the officials that youre being intimidated.

f*k that would give me the shits..

few quick questions

Do i need to be affiliated with any sort of club to go out on these track days?

For the First time can i get a temporary CAMS licence?

How do i find out when these track days are?

these may be 'derr' questions but i dont take much note on these things...looks like fun!

Edited by Ryanrb25

okay 1st be member of the nissan datsun car club sa about $70 a year and sporting car club about $120 a year

2ndly apply for a level 2 speed licence from cams, this will save you paying about $90 every practice day

3rdly put plenty of $$$$$ away for tyres, fuel, parts etc.. and keep cool with the officials, and renmember

DONT GO TOO FAST FOR THE TRACK!!!!!!!

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
