I went past the meet spot after getting my Subway dinner :P

Lots of cars that the cops would have had fun with.

yeh my mate rammed the ceffy in his vs... everyone suddenly went on the brakes n he didnt have enough time to stop.. (his story anyways) my other mate almost went up his arse too in his s14.

Waaaaait. Oh I see but why did everyone suddenly go on the brakes?

Went to go get Macca's at Habour Town at about 12-1AM and was a few skylines there. Kahli, Brad, Luke, Tom (300ZX), then after I came out the drive through a heap of ceffy's and silvias showed up. Got out and started talkin to them till a cop showed up, they all took off pretty fast.

not sure, wasn't there.. was ripping my cars suspension out at home..

the ceffy also went up another cars arse from the vs too. that wasn't really damaged so he took off. Ceffy had to be towed home coz the radiator was pushed on to the fan i think.

I got there about 40min after it happened, the vs is a write off for sure, ceffy didn't look tooo bad but couldn't really tell till the bumper etc was off. The ceffy owner used to have an r32 so pretty sure hes around here somewhere...

the cops did nothing really, the mt barker cops were not alerted or didnt realise the cruise was on, so they just shuffled everyone along. only one guy got donw for running a red light and someone got a talking to regarding trade plate usage.

the cops where sweet, even at the meet spot one sapol car rocked up and did nothing as most cars slapped 2nd gear leaving.

great turn out, no real hassle, and some amazing cars

Looking at lastnights weather, kinda lucky there wasn't more accidents up the Freeway!

unless your being stupid, there shouldn't be any crashes even in those conditions.

that Sniper GTR was tailgating me for a bit, gassin it back n forth...my hero.

It was a NS.com cruise. Stupidity is after the 'N' in the URL.

It was not a bad night really, the highlight for me was the chick at Mt Barker running through the car park telling everyone that the cops where gonna block us all in, then watching people running for there cars so they could get away, it made me lol so hard. It was like a scene from a F&F movie :)

    • 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
