I don't mind the whole 2 weeks in arrears thing. I just wished I knew about it before hand so I was able to save a few dollars for the next few weeks. Missus got paid today so that's a win and I still haven't been paid for last week at the old job so I reckon with living off sausages on bread or going to mums for dinner I'll be right.

John, should be more awake in the mornings, if i see you again expect epic alfa horns from my skyline

Getting up at 5:30 sucks donkey nuts... so being more awake won't ever work. I'm awake enough on the weeks I get up at 7:30 :thumbsup:

Didn't hear any horns today. But had the music pretty loud.

I assume thats directed at me?

I have cricket tonight, but I also have no desire to watch inception, so feel free to start that without me.

If anything cool is going down after that I'll come round.

Yeah mang no worries. Prob gonna be a quiet night.

The high lanes of AJ Wyllie Bridge on Gympie Road at Petrie have been re-opened to traffic today - one lane in each direction. The low bridge remains closed until further notice. Updates will be issued as information becomes available. Please note that Gympie Road is a Main Road and jurisdiction lies with that department. All enquiries should be directed to Main Roads on 5477 8480.

TMR now has a website where you can register for SMS updates regarding the bridge. Visit www.northpinebridgesms.com.au and follow the prompts. This service will provide regular reports on changing traffic conditions, delays and the progress of these works.

WinRAR!

F*ck you trains!

Strange, the top bridge was the one the one that was meant to be proper f*cked, and it's re-opened early. Bottom one must be royally screwed...

Sarp mangs,

Busy farkin day today. Was absolutely wrecked yesterday afternoon slept from 6pm to 6am. I'm thinking of hitting up the Casino tonight for some Pokers. Should be good.

Anything doing tomorrow?

Just ran down waterworks road,

Saw an accident at the ashgrove avenue intersection, luckily an ambo lady stopped driver side impact...

Story continues

Get 50m down the road, (within sight and hearing distance easily)

I see a police Pajero with the copper standing beside a civic writing a kid up a ticket, whilst he could literally hear and see an accident 50m away...

A yell "Hey officer, theres an accident like 50m up the road" whilst literally POINTING at it

His response ?

A wave of the hand and then back to writing his ticket, I just run off shaking my head.

PS

Where do all you brisbane/GC/SC boys go to get your exhaust work done ? I mean a place that works with these kind of cars ?

What a douche.

P.S.

Don't go to Rob Bliss exhaust. Got my car back from them and the subframe bolts were all loose :S

Fat Pipes @ Kallanger are who you want.

Just got back from the cricket. QLD got smashed. Bah

Ahh well, black ops and bourbon to finish the evening off.

We got smashed too :(

I'm on the first beer for the day!

It's 10am somewhere...

Truth.

Morning Mangs! Happy Straya Day

Sarp mangs. Casino went well last night. I accidentally someones entire paycheck. No idea what to do for staya day though. Pretty sure im just going to sit around and do nothing.

Nice! Buy me some injectors?

Feel free to come here and sit around doing nothing, drinking beer and watching the poms lose the cricket. Also listening to hottest 100.

WTF I pressurised my intake system again... all my piping seems fine. It seems like there's an air leak somewhere around the rear of the motor, on the turbo side, kind of around the back corner of the rocker cover. One of the screws there was half a turn loose so tightened that but realllllllly doubt that was the problem. I already packed up the compressor etc so I didn't check again but I doubt it did anything.

What other pipes run around the back of the motor that carry pressurised intake air??

Another +1 for fat pipes at kallangur.

Was definately straya day today, fckn hot and lots of bogans.

Not looking forward to the commute tomorrow morning, hopefully everyone is too hungover and stays in bed a bit longer.

Morning Mangs,

Straya day was good, except for losing the cricket :(.

@Scott, I has a Z32 ECU, and Nistune is on the way :). Hopefully get it tomorrow. When can you perform the required McModifications?

F*cking can't get good help these days. Sick of having to re-do work others have done because they are useless speds.

    • 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
