Hey Rob, thanks for posting up the pics. That wasn't one of my worst offs. I'll have to post the one that cost my my carbon lip that was.... exciting.

I can't sleep either, or at least can't stay asleep. I get to go back out today. Can't wait!

Haha, yeah I kept going straight because I thought I still could see the xenon's 10-12 cars back.

Getting your battery checked?

I'm thinkin I wanna come to one of these at some stage... I wanna get my engine issues sorted first though (comp test to see if timing is out from the 100k service).

Looks good fun...

Could always tag along with one of us Owen!!

Great day had by all. Huge thanks to the Exec. team for organising a fantastic day. Ran really smoothly and the friendly turn out just added to the fun.

The little Proton ran flawlessly all day and drove home with out a problem which was a bonus. The drive to work this morning was a little more interesting with the brakes obviously deciding that they'd done enough work and had gone on holidays so I should probably pick up some a new set.

Only issue I had all day was the wheel falling off jack as I was draging it across the carpark, but what can you expect from Super Cheap.

Hope everyone had as much fun as I did and I'll see you all at the next one.

48.35 thanks to Harry's lap timer

What GPS location did you use? Also, how to you define a track - either the interface has changed since I last did it, or the Alzheimer's is kicking in early...

Rob - nice photos!

Hey purchased the pro version friday night

turned up to track and it worked

Checked it by using it in 2 cars , 2 drivers

Made myself sick looking at the phone screen while passenger on track

Hope this helps

The run off real isn't a problem. In the areas there is very little, your car doesn't want to point in that direction if you do lose it, and due to the low speeds (I believe max speed I heard on the day was 130KM/H. Eric can confirm what he was getting down the straight in the GTR). If you do lose it, you don't get that far off the track (Unless you're Duncan and do it with WOT in 3rd with 400RWKW being let loose... And even then, it wasn't a big off)

The track is awesome as Duncan said. And we will be booking it again.

We had 3 cars who had issues with noises, and they all ended up being allowed to run, as the MDTC staff will help you to quieten it down, in quite a smart way.

In regards to booking again, we can basically pick a date that is more then 6 to 8 weeks away, and we can nearly be guaranteed to get it.

I got 135 by the end of the straight, High score?

and

Unedited, but there they are

nice video Matt, im guessing thats your avatar thats in the video? nice ride man, seem to know how to steer around there so im guessing it wasnt your first time on the track. Nice placement of the go pro too, suction cup to the inside of the window, wanted to do same myself but i think i would have had to flip the picture upside down in editing to make it watchable, did you have to do same?

Cheers pat

Just stuck it on the window with the suction cup mount, didn't have to do anything special.

Yeah, been there before, was only the second session of the day, so was still working out entry and exit points for the 34. it's tricky in the wet.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
