Hi everybody!

http://www.actmotorclubs.org.au/go/shannons-wheels-2008

Wheels is only a month away and we aren't organised yet. Last year we had an awesome turn out and even had a 35 GTR!

Now I know it is a big ask, but it would be great if we could actually drive in together in order. It makes life so much easier (ask John who had to move his car about 11ty billion times) and you only need to get up a bit earlier.

Can anyone who is coming be at the boat ramp by 7.30 to give us some time to organise and leave by 8am sharp!

Don't forget plenty of water and sunscreen!

Hey Mr Federal, do you have a tent we could borrow?

I have emailed the organisers to let them know we are coming, so don't let the side down!

Can everyone who is coming put their name and model (car, not the one you like the most):

1- Donnan 32 GTR

im going to assume that its the boat ramp where we meet on friday nights.. and yes for all of those people who have not been there during the day there is a boat ramp off to the left when you drive towards where we meet (near the restaurant)

Stupid question, but do we need to fill out and submit the entry form? I'm going with yes, but I'm getting the impression we might not?

On second assessment, the entry form is dated 2009....question still remains, though the form itself is invalid lol

After some light skim reading on the site, I'm still not sure what this actually is.. What day is it being held on? And how much time will it take up in total? Do our cars have to be in pristine condition or is a mangled front bar and a dirty engine bay acceptable? Sounds like it might be worth taking a day off work for.

It is a colection of car "clubs" that put on a free stactic car show for Canberra. It takes from when you turn up to when you leave, normally people leave around 2pm but earlier is OK. It does not matter the condition of the car, however most owners take some pride in washing the car for the day. You can keep the bonnet down.

It's worth going if only once.

I can never be bothered to do all the cleaning stuff on my own. Someone want to meet up the day before and double team our cars? I used to detail cars so I'm pretty handy with it. Don't care if it's just a wash, vacuum and polish or a full rejuv of plastics, shampooing of carpets and detailing of engine bay. Any takers?

I would say yes I'm keen, but oh god after doing it previously, and the condition of my paint....no thanks lol....I'd rather pay through the teeth for it to be done while I wander around Westfield belco for a few hours :D

    • 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
