And a HUGE thanks to all volunteers, from BBQ to merchandise to sign on (Tegan did great after Anna and Duncan had to stop), cones to timing to sceuitineering - the list could go on and on!

Thanks everyone, without your help these days can't happen

yeah I enjoyed once I figured out (last 2 runs) why the hell the car wasn't making any power at all ie. TCS was ON *facepalm* This is what happens when you drive a skyline with 2 hours of sleep night before..

On the first run I rode my clutch like crazy and smoke started coming out of it like mad ... I let it cool down but can still smell that stench. Doesn't seem to be slipping though. What's the chances it's gonna have permanent damage ? I rode that thing like a mofo trying to "wing it" on the first course..

it was a good day and im suprised the rain held out as long as it did. Huge thanks to the guy with the white 180, without his fathers help i dont think i would have got the battery secured and got out on the track.

Looking forward to pics and results.

so un new mx5 not so great as last one :) SO BOATY!!!!

time for new tyres and sway bars me thinks!!!! handles like shit (for an mx5... still beat some of you tho :))

thanks again to everyone that helped out..

i'd like to thank Doof, Mitch Moo, Spanna, Eric, Shell, Dave, Matt, Ben M, Mark, Steve-O, Reece, Tegan, Ben Sinclair, and anyone else who i may have forgotten (sorry) for all their help today in the timing, photos and just standing in the horrid rain to make this day possible.

I'd also liek to thank a few of the girlfriends who helped out.... sorry i dont your names, but it was very nice of you to help at sign on and with lunch :)

if i have forgotten to thank anyone please kick my arse about it :D

WOOO!!! BRING ON NEXT TEXI!!!

It was good to catch up with those I know and meeting those who you I didn't know before today. There were some pretty epic skids out there today! Nicely done people. I think the rain added a lil something extra in the afternoon too :)

Literally hundreds of more shots on the disc. PM Me or Talk to Pezhead if you haven't ordered one yet.

Love how straight this GTR is.

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
