Yeah, its my old boat, I am looking forward to see it again when it is on the boil and angry.

How is yours going mate.

yea, it does need a bigger turbo

mines slowly getting there.. just trying to acquire parts to make the thing stupid ;)

I would be interested if any of the 400+ guys track their cars?

Having played gtrs for a while it seems the magic number is 350 at the track

And I'm not talking poofy super sprint shit... More like 30minutes to 1 hour sessions

And if u have what cooling systems you have?

Never a truer word was spoken.

Also mechanical sympathy for the drivetrain is null and void, the drags I found to be the worst offender.

Unless you have big dollar items trying keep it together I assume.

But then a lot of it has to do with the driver, when I had my old boat its driver was rubbish though,LOL .

But like what was mentioned, you rarely see the big cars out on a regular basis, its usually, track day, broken, fixed, drags, broken, fixed and so on and so forth.

Either that or they are "dyno queens".

I hope I win LOTTO soon...........

If I go for 399rwkw ill be ok then :D???

I was mainly interested In your cooling setups

How extreme they are

I'm working on the GIO Gibson 32 next weekend at Sandown, I was hoping to get underneath with the camera... Quite extreme under there, as it was setup for the Sandown 500 I think. Coolers on everything.

Could give you some good ideas... :)

Is there even a such thing as 1 hour sessions at track days?That's mega hard work on the car!!! Weather it has 250kw or 500kw.These are road cars, not v8 supercars

When I was racing bikes and even open track days, we were limited to 20min sessions. 1 hour is murder on any road vehicle

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
