Spotted MADGTR on Epping Rd Lane Cove at round 5pm.. nice ride :D

Thanks Miss Turbo.

Yesterday arvo about 6pm, I stopped to chat to R34 GT on Windsor Rd. We exchanged complements about each others Black 34, it was is a very clean GTT

Spotted a number of Skylines on Friday night heading into Bondi, and then at Bondi itself.  A black R34, a yellow R33 (maybe two, unless it was the same car I spotted twice), and a few others.

Had a play with a white R-32 on Oxford St around the Woollomoloo (sp?) and Paddington area, too...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH that was me

Ive finally been spotted...

the SAU sticker gave it away.... haha i was going to my mate.. those things are f**ken quick... awd big power etc etc he was like looks like a nugget.... then u gunned it past me and he was like ok i believe you.......

to be honest the muffler makes the car sound a bit shitty.... tell u this because i know every car has a different sound from OUTSIDE the car :) each to their own though :)

yet to be spoted... oh well

bah get your ass over to my house so we can clean up your engine bay... must have had a big one on sat night if u werent answering sunday mate :)

I was wondering if you were from SAU, 'cos I didn't spot any stickers on the car (kinda hard when you're travelling down Oxford anyway, what with all the suicidal pedestrians and fking taxis stopping whenever and where-ever they want to).

Yeah, the big Stagea ain't too bad, hey? Was actually expecting to be left behind by you, considering the MASSIVE weight difference. Apart from the exhaust (I took the silencer out tonight to see if it improves fuel economy, by the way, so hopefully it sounds a bit different too) and the manual conversion done by the previous owner (R-32 GT-R box and six-puck clutch), it's stock as a rock - for now... Different time, different place (away from the street, or at least that much traffic), maybe the resukts will be different again.

Cheers,

Nick T. ;)

Spotted: Some hero in a silver series 2 GTS-T "ZGR-***" with green P's yesterday afternoon at Artarmon doing side to side fishtails down the middle of the highway city bound in peak hour.

Top effort moron!

at 5am ?

:lol:

I was gonna stop and put ya wipers up, but I was being followed by a dodgey looking commonwhore lol

LOL nah not that early id kill you....

that wouldnt of happened to be an old model white commodore? if so and the driver was a guy, id say stare him out and give him shit..... i had a small confrontation once with 2 guys in a white commodore in my area, they wanted to take it further until my younger brother (who is twice the size of me) came outside... became 2 on 2...hehehehe

    • 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
