fark i love those rims

just sold in bris

was hoping they would hang around a bit longer till i got some cash together.....

I love them, and the older version with the stainless lip, i want some 17 x 9.5s for my track rubber

does anyone still have that link that Jason posted for that ASIO job?

Im applying for that shiz, i already do a fair amount of evidence gathering ect as it is, and its my favorite part of my job, so i reckon i would love it

Morning mangs

Got new panels last night (from the TBar LOL) :O

Dan and I did a tunnel run on the way back (in the sexF :( ). Epic tunnel is epic.

good news on the panels bro!

and yes tunnel is the awesome!

cant wait to go in the 180 thru it now

another awesome day at work, yaaaay

have a meeting at 4pm so can't even duck out early.

and then i have to go meet the celebrant for the wedding and go through the ceremony at 6

and then we have dance lessons at 8

awesome day.......

miso, no worries - you can make it up to me this saturday when we put the motor back in :ermm:

danB owes me an appearance too :thumbsup: .....such a dog

WHATS UP PPLZ?!

my bad tristan, didnt get out of bed on saturday until 12pm then went out with nat in the arvo and straight to dinner on saturday night (Koh-Ya is awesome) I'll be there this weekend to lend a hand or 2

Yer, martin is right, S13's aren't the most fun thing to work on, cramped is the word i would use.

I need to fix up my car/s before heading back out on track again, lakeside was great fun last time i did it, so much better then QR. First track day i did was back in 2006..... ahhh so long ago..... I don't get all over competitive, i just go for the fun of it. Have done some track days with work and driven their cars on track always better.

Hopefully the coupe is back in action again soon, i need the ute to shift some junk i got lying around the garage, and also transport a safe to my place.

Plans for this weekend is to swap diff in my 31, the 4.11's are annoying me, going back to the 3.9

Hey guys and girls.

Does anyone know what time the harry's dinner meets start on the thursdays? And if its on this weekend?

Might drop into the chapel hill baskins on thursday on the way through too. Are there many people that go to this meet?

Cheers

There are no girls on the internet...

Harrys is normally 6:30 till 9ish i think maybe not even that late. Not sure if its on this week check boostcruising they normally have the info. There is normally between 7-10 people that come to chapel hill on Thursdays. Come along and say hi :blush:

hrrm tough call.....

oh colin, i drive through gordon park every arvo on my way home from work, so if tristan/john/andy/ravi/tiggs/martin/gabnar/ whoever else said they can pick it up i probably can.

I won't even make you pay extra for me to deliver them to you.

I also won't tell you i had what you needed..

Ha ha yeah well just trying not to upset everyone

Yeah probably will show up to chapel hill if i get my car back by then. Thanks for your help anyway :blush: might bring a mate in his rb powered silvia.

Would love to go for a bit more of a cruise to see what the new clutch and all is like so thats why i was thinking of heading to harry's to check it out

    • 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
