Recommended Posts

Afternoon gentlemen.

How was the weekend? I was in Sydney with the training crew. Saturday was the spent hiking around the Blue Mountains and the Jenolan Caves. Awesome stuff. Sunday we spent it at Darling Harbour drinking in the sun next to the opera house. Epic BBQ on the Friday night and last night.

McFly, the Car looks horn with the GTP's. I would have come for a look-see if I was in the state. I fly back tonight.

McRae, Nice work on the B2B. Sub 1hour. Aewesome.

Evening, squire!

Sounds like an awesome weekend.

I spend saturday turning the alfa into a 300zx (engine out!), and generally piss farting around. Sunday was lakeside. Also much F1 all weekend, FTW.

Mmmmmm nice little track rims they are. Back on advans now.

A likely story...

McRae

I like it.

Side note I just won a ride in a drift car... should be awesome.

At archerfield?

Sorta depends on which driver/car you get put in as to how good it is

Got pulled over this morning on the way to work (a whole 2km) apparently my car isn't registered, although I have the sticker and certificate to prove it and I was shitting myself at this point thinking that a fine would be the last thing I needed right now. Cops accepted the sticker after having a fiddle with it. Would have been a different story if it was a cop on his high horse.

Would anyone happen to have a spare battery that holds charge alright until I get a new one? It's for my falcon, the negative is on the left and positive on the right. Only saying this because the one I got from someone today was opposite and the leads won't reach that far.

no its at acacia ridge. should be fun anyways. driving un-registered car is a 2 week impound.

Reportin in

Realised that I have a replacement exhaust for my laser sitting on the parts laser in the garage, that is minus one muffler... so removed that on sunday arvo and ran out of time getting it on the 'good' laser before the sun went down, plus cbf hahaha.

That along with the stractors should give it some bang in the noise department hahah.

Also just been offered 5g cash from some boost loser for my 33. f**ktard.

P.S. compressor + air tools makes anything mechanically-minded soooooooooo much better..... oh my god I can't believe the difference

wouldnt be without them. :P

I sold my r33 for 5k, eventually you CBF having it in the garage any more, I would have taken a hug for it thats how sick of it I was lol

    • 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
