mate im pretty sure there will be heaps of spare spaces tomoz there for you LOL . :laugh:

Yeah I guess there's always people that can't make it.

Still I think it's rude if people turn up unannounced if they've had sufficient time to say so, especially if tables are booked

Yere was very good night well done madaz and helso for organising the event. Was also very good to meet some more people from the site. It was a shame that i couldnt cruise with those that did for a bit long damn work at 5 today. The only down fall to the night was me getting a damn parking fine.

Thanks guys your welcome

will be planing the next dinner so keep your eyes peeled :laugh:

Looking forward to it! Sorry I didnt introduce myself to you, but I was the guy wearing a black Doctor Who t-shirt.

Really? That sucks. Must not have been the night for imports by the sounds of things.

$34 for being parked in a so called permit zone for 30 minutes. pricks.

-D

Really enjoyed it last night, great food and company. I would like to head back there in 3 weeks time to celebrate my 23rd. Good job to Steve and Luke for organizing this event, and with it going along smoothly :ermm:

Def a good night and congrats to Steve & Luke for the great organizing.

Great to catch up with alot of the regular SAU peeps and a couple of newbies....sorry if I missed anyone but it seemed all the usuals attended.

Dang, that V35 of Andrew's has some decent torque for an NA! :):)

I'm glad the response was so good and that plenty of members rocked up. Rest assured it will be discussed at the committee meeting this week and plans for another dinner will be set it motion.

10/10 on the dinner :(

Just a reminder that there is a club meeting at The Directors on Gouger St tomorrow (Monday) night @ 7.30pm, for those who wish to attended and be informed what is in the works for SAU-SA.

;)

Good to hear the event was a huge success. Well done guys. Andrew (Nightcrawler) gave me a quick rundown the following night. I wanted to attend but had other commitments I couldn't miss. Keen to attend the next one.

    • 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
