i only managed a best of 1'23.9 in the Supra (PB = 1'23.1) and struggled with massive underbonnet temps (140'C after four laps) despite extra cooling mods (oil cooler, new radiator, extra thermo fan, more ducting) and new Brembo brakes. in hindsight, the rapid increase in temp and higher than normal boost levels recorded (1.5bar compared to the usual 1.2bar on track) with no improvement in speed or laptimes, were the early signs of my impending turbo failure - unfortunately this occurred on Tuesday morning when i went out again with the intention of breaking 1'22. interestingly, Trent (one of the instructors) only got 1'24.19 on a clear track when everyone went to lunch - he drove beautifully and it sounded like he was pushing hard, but analysis of that session reveals that my stock twins were already failing as we should have gone a lot faster. late braking and high corner speeds were let down by the lack of power on exit.

the fastest cars on the day that i know of were the R35 (a comfortable 1'22.08 - not bad for a four month old car after its first service!), the blue Evo IX (1'22.9 on street tires) and the black TT Supra (Dave with a stonking 1'23.13 on street tires). it's great to see that two Supras with stock turbos can put down some good 1'23 laptimes! ;) for the record, the stock R35 is good for 1'18 as Trent the instructor drove that laptime in it the next day.

for all those who couldn't attend - you missed out on an awesome event. the good news is that i will be running another trackday like this in March next year, so start planning now!

Hi,

I am Steve with the Blue Supra, Great to catch up with you guys!

Copied and pasted from SASupra:

Well done to everyone great day, thanks Kim for organising it. :)

Personally I was aiming for a 1:29 or a 1:28 as I saw darren "yiros" had got a best of 1:29.84 (fastest N/A as per his sig).

I just looked up that track day and saw that he did that on semi slicks so I am even more impressed that I did the 1:28 on street tyres!

All of the pics I took on my iphone failed??? So the only ones are a couple from my hand held digital. Here they are:

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
