Sure SteveO post away. An Ben I wouldn't do more than 10 or 15 minutes really. Believe it or not it gets repetitive and boring after a while. I had about 1.5 hours of footage to cut down for that 6 minute clip. Trick is to only have a few long segments and mostly 3-5 second clips.

Thanks for the kinds words guys. Oh, we should post it up on PI facebook too.

Well done fellas, looks like it was a great day.

Will try and come to the next one to give you all some competition. I'll try and bring my offsider also who will give the top of the tree a shake and give you someone to chase.

Great to see so many Nissans being used to their full potential.

Will get it up to the shop to get it weighed JP, think i just need an audience to perform. :action-smiley-069:

Nice Vid Eric, but wheres the silver Zed?

What program are you using there?, just trying adobe premier elements but not real happy with it.

Greg's black wide body S15 looked fat and fast, I will give him a run next one as The Slot Car was way off it's best, all new set up and got it wrong as understeered badly all day. I ran a little better at the NSCC day there the next day with a 1 min 6.1. Well ran day and nice weather. Well done again Michael Hill, faster again to.

Wizard either your car needs corner weighing bad or you drive smoother and faster with females on board,LOL.

I will be at the next one keen as.

I use Corel VideoStudio X3. Easy to learn (as video editing goes) and plenty of functionality.

90% is just trim clip, insert into timeline, dub music then throw on some titles and transitions.

Of course that still took 2-3 hours of editing for 6 minutes output.

Yeah time consuming, but enjoyable when the finished project is up. :thumbsup:

Will have a look at Corel, thanks.

I was also confused with the groups to. When I was at the NSCC day at Wakey the day after, which ran very similar to SAU, although instead of coloured dots, they write with white pen a number from 1 to 5 on your windscreen at scrutineering, according to you and your cars times. 1 being the fastest down to 5. This made it so much easier to know when your session was coming up, rather than trying to remember when hearing the call for groups and thinking. For example. Ok yellow is out now and red is next I think then blue or was it green or?? Colours don't have order numbers do.

NSCC did not however issue individual numbers for each car, unlike SAU- Renew which is very professional and handy. I kept my lime green SAU issued number 300, which was appropriate and easy.

Hopefully next Wakefield can mix both points together. To group people in numbers and to also give people individual numbers. Grouped numbers allows drivers to know when they are up. Individual numbers helps photographers and for the drivers again to pick out their lap times on the screen.

Depends if it is being watched to see what happened on the day or to see how individual cars handle and perform on the track...

nscc had car numbers

nscc had car numbers

ah was going to say same but you beat me to it, looks like there was a few guys who did both days?

i would have but couldnt afford two track days in one wknd (thanks credit card debt..) so really pissed i missed what sounded like a great SAU day, still managed to get a PB on the sunday of 1.13..6 and that should drop to 12's next time with the new tyres i got yesterday (400 dollar Pirelli...somethings)

nice video Eric, well done!

Patrick I ran Pirelli Corsa P-Zeros and was surprised they weren't that much better than street tyres. I need to stump up for some real Semi's now. Well done on a 1.13 that's about what I run in street trim. I gotta lurn to steer betta.

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head. (me)
    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
