Jon...

I only timed my second session... I managed a 1:59, and I was taking *all* the wrong lines... turning in way too early on turns 2, 5, and 7...

I went out with Paul, and he showed me the proper lines... I went out for the last session, and even though I was held up on *every single lap*, I felt that I was going much MUCH faster... doing at least 1:57s...

I pitted at the end of the session and excitedly reached over for the lap timer, and I saw it's screen was off....

F U C K! I forgot to turn it on :D

Oh well, so the best timed lap I got was 1:59, but I know I did much much better than that in the last session. I'll have to prove it next time ;)

Anyway... 1:59 for the first time at EC isn't too shabby.

I wasn't running full boost because I had Optimax in the tank, and my car always pings when I use Optimax ;) I'll make sure I have a full tank of Mobil or BP next time, so I can regain those 50rwkw I lost by turning the boost down :D

I'm not sure what session it was when you were following my lines... I have done a lot of trackdays, so I know basically what lines to take, but to get them 100%, it only comes from lots and lots of laps, which Paul (Oz97GTR) has, so he was able to show me the optimal lines to take for the track.

I was basically turning in too early, and apexing a little early, which slowed my exit speeds... During the last session when I was driving the correct lines, I was held up on every single lap, so it was possible that you were able to follow my lines, as I was going quite slowly...

I'll take you out for a few laps next time, or hop in with Paul who knows the track like the back of his hand... Your lap times will drop dramatically...

I do remember coming down the straight one time, and I couldn't catch you... I was thinking "DAMMIT!!! I NEED TO TURN UP MY BOOST NOW!!!!" :D

My car was dynoed at 275.8rwkw @ 1.2 bar on SAS Dyno... (I was running 0.8 bar on the track) Your car made around that at all 4 wheels right? Or even more than that if I remember correctly...

hahaha, andrew, i wish mate!!! my car was dynoed on 2wheel dyno, so that 376hp was at the rear like i stated honestly in the post way back... (don't make me look like a big horsepower bullsh1t artist... haha :D ) mine was at 1.2 bar as well... so thats about 280rwkw right???

but the thing is john from unique took my car for a drive , and he said there is noooooo bloody way that my car has 280rwkw... he reckons about 220... i was kinda dissapointed but oh well... ^^

hahaha... sorry mate... my bad ;)

Yeah, 220-230kw @ wheels would probably make more sense for the mods that have been done to the car... Would make sense too, as we were about the same down the straight, and I was running 0.8 bar, so I would have been at about 220rwkw...

If you take the M2 there's a BP with Ultimate 98 just after it ends in Seven Hills. Only 5 or 6 km to E/Creek from there. Saves having to use Optimax.

i've nvr been on eastern creek once but i'm keen since it's during my uni break... i was actually planning to head down to wakefield on either of 1/2/3 oct as these are open days... i've heard eastern creek is a higher speed track relative to wakefield? i'm a novice so that is a bit of a concern doing high speeds...

Go out on Wakefield first as it's an easier and more user friendly track. Then come out to EC and one of the regular guys can show you around. If you are confident, then you can get out.

When you are new to any track, don't go out there with an attitude of "I have to be faster than this guy". That'll put you in a dangerous situation.

Looks like I'll be doing the calling to Motoconcepts for spots. I need certain numbers people.

Doesn't look like a lot this time. What's wrong? This the last drive day until 19th of December people...

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t 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 when selected . But nothing when in  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. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
