Great event with the sun even breaking through the clouds every now and then.

PB for Ant and I've finally got a time for PI!

Results

I'm stoked with a 48. Faster than I expected on tyres that are now 14 months and 7 track days old.

Missed ya Bris.

You'll have to make up for it at deca :)

What an awesome day! The forecast all week was not looking good for the weekend and certainly Sat lived up to the hype. However Sun proved to be pretty good weather for racing at PI.

After a day of mixing it up with slick shod GT3 cup cars, ex V8 supercars and pretty much any other car you can think of, I ended up with a new PB of 1:47.14 besting my previous by around 2.5 secs. To say I'm wrapped would be an understatement as my goal for the day was to get into the 47's let alone a low 47. Big thanks to Russ - without us trading times and having a ding dong battle via the timing sheets all day I probably wouldn't have pushed as hard as I was.

Despite a small group from SAU which is the norm these days at track events :P it is a good indicator of the depth of driver talent when every class we were put in (rightly or wrongly :banana: ) has an SAU member at the top of the tree - congrats to all and once again an amazing effort by Russ :blink:

Dane - where were you? I would've thought with some Radicals on track you would've been there for sure. That was no ordinary Z...put it this was the model badge at the back said 600Z instead of 260Z giving us a clue - passed me on the straight like I was standing still :rolleyes::banana:

Incar vids to follow later in the week.....

What's the go with the 260Z?

I've been informed it's an ex-Nascar engine with custom 4wd system in the old 260Z shell. Kevin Mackrell is the driver. Absolutly crazy speed in a straight line!

That's what I'm there for :D

Ahhh yep, I've seen that Zed do a hill climb before. Very, very quick!

I was at Presidents day for the Porsche Club on Sunday as I wanted my lady friend to go for a ride in a club car and see what it was all about. Would have liked to come down though.

The day ran pretty well and we got heaps of sessions. An outback went front on into the outside (?) wall at the hay shed. There was talk

of carnage the day before though. Aquaplane and crash on the front straight?

That's not true mate. You've just gotta stop tinkering and start driving!!!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
