Hey everyone, around february or so im getting a group of cars together to go to WSID and to have a bit of fun. They want to go to the track and test the cars to their full potential. I want to see if any N/A skylines would be interested in going, or really any N/A car that isnt over 6 cylinders(trying to keep it somewhat fair).

Current cars going:

My 300ZX -catback,pod,chip,UDP 131.4rwkw 5spd man - will have SAFC+tune by then

VR V6 - Bellmouth removed, Catback, Intake(pod,cai,tb pipe) 4spd auto

SSS - Catback & Pod - 5spd man

Lancer 1.8L Sedan - 4spd auto

Lancer 1.5L Coupe -Catback, pod+tb pipe - 5spd man

2004 Magna ES 3.5L - Stock - 4spd auto

Alfa romeo 156 Selespeed - Auto

Cars MAYBE going:

VL N/A - exhaust,pod, extractors - 5psd manual

300ZX Targa - pod - 4spd auto

I'm doing this in february as thats the earliest everyone will be free to go. Also as most of us are new to this, expect a bunch of 17 second slips :):(

yes yes, the P plate brigade is going to race, but atleast we're doing it legally! ;)

i might come if my car has all the body work done and i get new tyres. Cant go on the track with 2 semi slicks and another too that are mesh at the front =\ ANNND if i can hit the 5000km mark on the odometer then i will be able to push the car so i dont damage the new engine.

r33 GTS4 - RB27DE ( 50 thou piston upgrade) ... and a pod thats it! Kw ~Unknown~

Good on you guys for organising events like this.

It's great to see the stereotyped car enthusiasts getting out and having fun safely, and legally :(

Yeah, i'm trying to get a bunch of N/A's together and just have a good time and compare slips afterwards. So far the commodore & the magna are the only cars that look like they'll be a challenge. The commodore isn't like any other V6 one i've been in, it has stupidly high bottom end power and keeps up with higher powered cars very easily. Would be fun to get some quick N/A lines and supra's there along with whoever wants to go. If you have a turbo and want to show up feel free, i can get two or three other turbo R33's to come aswell.

YES! that sounds like it'd be pretty quick so if you can, show up.

I might be up for this.. Only ever been once with my 34 ran a 15.0, 15.1, 15.3 with my old bilsteins and crappy tyres that got too much wheel spin and 3" Kakimoto Full mega exhaust,

Got new suspension and might feel like giving it a proper go with or without new tyres to get under that 15 sec margin. Still painfully slow

Preferably go after the 15th so ill have the money.. haha

+1 guys. The track is great. Good to see some smart young blokes still exist haha.

:(:( lol hope the road aint wet :(:)

im just gunna rock up lol

We all know cheap $199 semi slicks are not aloud on my car ever again! Toyo Proxie T1R's are more like it!

Yeah hopefully if jason helps me finish the car off it will be down in my car :)

Once i buy my list from NENGUN it should be a lot better.

    • 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
