On Thursday October 7th, SAU:SA held there second private track day held at Mallala Raceway. With a pre-meet at Villi's at 6am, it was bound to be a long day. This did however provide some nice light on the drive up, something I couldn't go past.

Once everyone arrived, they spent little time stuffing around and got to business of getting the cars ready to get out on track. Entrants we're split into three groups, first timers, intermediates and advanced and would go out in 20 minutes sessions.

First cars out, first timers which comprised mainly of street cars/daily drivers

They sure did get stuck into it,

Next up were the intermediates with a good variation of skylines, from R31-R34 and even a Onevia.

Then it was time for the advanced/pro's to come out for there first session. Oddly enough, this was the group that had teh least amount of skylines in it.

Now that everyone had gotten the first session nerves out of the way, people started getting into the flow. With timers available, people were able to find out what times they were running. This made some push harder and try different lines to get there times down.

Others were just out there to have fun.

A great day had by all. A big thank-you to the executives of SAU:SA for organizing the day, especially the bbq for lunch. Also to Mallala Motorsport Park for giving us a track to use and everyone that helped on the day to make the day run smooth.

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
