pickup from where Brendan

hey Steve I live in Morphett Vale

still havent got the stagea back so i cant really get anywhere; been carless since June (ringlands broke at April trackday)

its the complete unit, black plastic box with the heater core. Was going to use it on my stagea but have never gotten around to it.

For all the young guns here on the forums chasing some inspiration, or just interested in the p-plate side of the modified scene: Go pick up the latest installment of Performance Imports magazine and you'll find a bonus mag in the pack dedicated to your genre.

Also, in the catch can article on page 46 we have a couple of nice looking bnr32's that i swear look fimiliar ;) vu and must be chuffed :)

Gosh, haven't been to Wasteland much these days. How y'all doin? :D

This is where all my spare time has been going lately

102m2 house extension, and I'm doing most of the work myself.

Oh and been toying with a dirty Bluebird. Suspension and brake upgrade anyone?

:P

Spent all Sunday pulling the motor and trans out of My soon to be track weapon, put in a fresh clutch, bolted it all back in and still no gopinch.gif

Seems that the Lhf driveshaft has destroyed all the splines in the front hub, open wheeler diff in FWD means no go!

That and some dodgy earth issues(that made the car run like i dropped a couple of pots, andi can't afford to loose any!) and leaking throttle body gasket.

At least i've got my minilites stripped of their tyres ready for sandblasting and respraying next weekthumbsup.gif

This thing is gonna Decimate all at race warslaughing-smiley-014.gif

^^ its not about offending its about vilifying different groups on people based on sex, religion, race

its not on

*sigh*

people need to read the definition of 'vilification' - vilification is when you're using someones personal preferences as a sledge, or more technically 'to incite hatred or harm'

While I can't say that the comment was in good taste, surely that is all it was guilty of. Considering there have been many proven cases of abuse in the catholic diocese (and many other religions I might add to equalize the statement), the fact that people are going to make satire out of fact is hardly surprising...

If one was to say 'X likes to do Y, so lets bash/kill/call em dork/whatever", if that were to happen then that does qualify as vilification as it incites people to act against another individuals personal beliefs, encourages violence and civil disrest.

I really do appreciate the sentiment behind this, esp when it comes to covering ourselves legally, but lets understand what we're accusing people of first... I thought the comment was a bit off (mainly cause the pope is not the guilty party), but I didn't take offence (because he's the figurehead and its natural that he cops the flack) and considering the school I went to had many students molested by the clergy (and teachers) its hardly surprising anyone is going to make such comments... but such comments are not vilification.... nor is a picture of jesus riding a dinosaur, for that matter....

    • 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
