+1 for being burnt

+1 for the ambo volunteers having sunscreen

Great turnout of cars,whole bunch of nice people and some serious car fanatics of all sorts,the alcohol kept pouring,what a day

lookin forword to some pics!

i know charmaine took a shite load! :)

hehe that race prepped lambo pulling 360 rwkw = fail

getting beaten by an EB xr6t falcon by over 100 rwkw (475kw)= funny as hell.

dont flog me for hooning,, i never went over speed limit or left any rubber, just a goosed a bit of throttle to jump ahead...lol not really hooning, and it wasnt until i was back in adelaide...lol

and if anyone read the back of the entrance form it said you will be held liable $$ for any damage to the grass in the oval.

not sure who was doing the huge burn out outside the gates but think it was one of the aussie cars, pretty stupid to show off in front of cops and public. it creates a bad mindset agaist car clubs and events

and omg that road was bumpy outta town, traction control popped on a few times cause the back wheels bouced off just enough,,, had to slow down to about 80 a few times ...lol glad i dont drive that daily...aldinga is bad enough..lol

Cheers for the votes guys. Good to finally get something after spending all this money on the car.

get something after spending all that money, tell you what u keep those awards and ill give you my psi dyno day most powerful turbo award and ill keep ya car

photos from the show posted here, the rest of them will be posted later tonight , just something to wet your appetite...lol

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/ga...-album2864.html

check my albums for other shows and photos as well. car show girls too...lol

out of respect for the owners i have blanked the rego plates out, if the owner would like the original photo i can send it to them, mind you the original photos are about 30-40mb each so its going to have to come over on CD. these are heavily reduced for the web the others would suit large format printing. oh and sorry im dont everyones name but as i find it i'll rename the photos for you.

also if you want the backgrounds removed etc i can do that for you. for free!!!!club members only to get positive comments on my work..lol

cheers,enjoy em

congrats on winning the awards guys

but how can u guys honestly expect to win best club display when by the looks of it you had 2 "other" types of cars?

the judges would have looked at that and gone WTF? if your going under a SAU club display then you have to skylines only in it.........just trying to make up numbers by getting two "other" makes isnt gonna help you win a club display trophy.

Cara it was a self judged event i reckon 95% of other entrants wouldn't of even known they weren't skylines

i suffered from heat stroke from yesterday only just got good 1hr ago that was the longest i've slept in ages

will try uploading 'DA HULK' and the lambo to you tube now as my attempt through Video Studio 12 failed

dont flame people for giving there personal opinions btw i know you didn't say anything yet Craig

this is what is starting to shit me about this club everyone else has there opinions and no one else is aloud there's everyone is becoming a bunch of sooks and of a clique also

/rant

f**k it, ill have a bitch at her, i couldnt care less.

cara, get the f**k over yourself. how can you sit there and write shit like that, when you didnt even bother to enter with us? mine and steves 'other' makes did alot more then you did, so STFU.

oh wait, i remember now, you couldnt enter, cos there was no best vinyls award.

btw, ive uploaded my photos, but havent edited numberplates, if people wanna see them anyway let me know and ill post the link, otherwise let me know if you want your plates blacked out and ill do it before i post the link.

why do you think i stopped my self?

i was simply going to say,was the 2 silvias in our display is NOT what lost

best club for us.

how that other group won, i do not understand, maybe it had something to do with them being locals?

any way im over it... was still a good day out.

and steve, please take some of your own advice into future posts yeah :wacko:

    • 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
