i think someone who can steer could get my car down into the 10s, it would be nice to get some feedback from someone with experience also. if your short a car let me know Duncan, ill have to re-mount seat for you but was going to do that anyway.

Just have to organise logbook.

Don't worry about the 10s stu, your car will be good for an 8 or 7 once it is sorted and yuo get some seat time.

Why not enter this? Your car is very well prepped and should be fine to last the distance. All you'd really need is a practice day down there beforehand to get the hang of the place. Their open days are cheap, and you'd get plenty of laps

i guess its a bit of a confidence thing, i was pretty messy last time and it rattled me a bit, still would like someone else to have a steer just to get some ideas on how it feels from a different pespective.

If i can get a logbook sorted and the boys are happy to have me along id have a go.

Just to clear a few things up, the Wakefield Park 300 is a enduro race held on the 29th of November.

Cost is $600 per team

A minimum one pit stop with no set time.

Only one car per team can enter with up to four drivers. Most run two or three drivers depending.

Fuel stops are carried out in the dummy grid unless you have dry brake systems which then allows for refuel at your pit garage. The car can be kept running to accomodate turbo cars with a requirement of having two fire mashals on hand.

Either CAMs, iRace or ASSA car can enter.

Licence can be CAMS or ASSA.

This is open class racing with classes based on times as opposed to classes to eliminate the hassle of parity etc.

Adam Ronke has a three care team competing which includes a R33 GTST which has been built specifically for these kind of events.

Two SW20 Mr2's will be entered, EVO's, MX5turbo's and NA's, a 300hp Pug, commadores, and more.

the regs are evpected this week so get you entry in ASAP as it looks like it will be a full field.

There are no timed fuel/pit stops this year due to a regulation change.

If you have a dry break system you can refuel at your garage. If you do not have dry break you must refuel in the dummy grid.

As far as the daewoo goes, I expect they will be close to $900 for the weekend with the best person to talk to being Adam Ronke at Winton as he is organising the lease options. He has tuned the cars since you have driven the Daewoo with a reasonable performance gain so they should go OK.

lol so 55fwkw now? I think they are a good option for this event, particularly in the new format. My car is racing weekend before at phillip island and week after at buller so I am not going to enter it......but the might woo is a geniune option.

good work keeping this event alive, it is a blast.

assuming the format is the same next year, I will make sure we get dry break system fitted to my car (one of the few freedoms in cams 3e I haven't done yet) and bring it along. I can't see a car without that winning, no matter how fast it is the pit stops will just take too long

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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...

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      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.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      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
