i got a wingless 32 gtr in dark blue

Spotted a pearl white R34 four door on Warringah rd on Saturday arvo and on my way back from the Gong I saw a White series 2, gunmetal series 1 and a black V35 with Bronze Volk CE28N rims :laugh:

Hmm, I wonder where Warringah road is...

Gunmetal s1 may have been me...

Spotted Black R33 series 2 GTS25t going up Kiora rd in miranda this morning plates NIC-***.

Yeah RUGAME use to drive a black R32GTST got the SIlver GTR32 the Greek PIzza's are good HUGE and FILLING.. damn i'm hungry now.

oh ok, if i see you ill beep!

my mates live all over the area so im always around. i get my hair cut at rogers across the rd from chicken wizard too.

i saw like 25-30 skylines over the weekend and i only knew one of them... that was the Nate Tune Skyline which is now naked and awaiting new decals...

i saw 3 on the way home from work, which for a 7 minute drive is pretty good, 2 on the way to macquarie centre, 1 at macquarie, 3 or so at thornleigh maccas, there were also like 4 86's and a bunch of other tuner cars that were pretty good... went to just jap on satuday so that boosted the amount by a few...

basically, i gotta network...

yeah... i always see RUGAME parked on the other side of the rd... very nice car

Spotted WTF-33R at the wall last night.

WTF? can you please be a little more specific? what wall?

yesterday spotted a Black R33 S1 Sedan heading the opposite way on Rookwood Rd on my way to the Gong. Spotted a white R33 on New Illawarra Rd near Bangor Bypass.

Spotted a silver R33 with nice blonde driving it out of the street next to holden in Gosford this arvo, then spotted a silver coupe with zoro graphics down the side of it following me before he turned off towards woy woy @ bottom of kariong hill.

Then spotted Anna (MsNismo) on the F3 she was going down the big dipper as I was comin up it, finally spotted a yellow R34 Coupe on the F3 @ mooney mooney bridge.

ummmm drew... what do you mean big dipper??? I get on/off at berowra... perhaps mooney? And I didn't see you ... ;)

lol at zorro graphics!

btw spotted zoomer at Berowra yesterday arvo... looks like he had just picked up smiley

Gunmetal s1 may have been me...

If thats your car in your avatar, then yes I'd say it was you fat33!! I was in the soarer so I doubt I'll ever be spotted on here LOL..

Yeah Mooney Mooney is the big dipper isn't it? The last hill before the gosford turn off, you were in the fast lane naturally and had the window down with your trademark sunnys on.

It would have been around 5:45 or something like that about 7mins before i sent sms as it didn't send and it kept retrying until it worked.

    • 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
