Thanks for saving me a pit spot guys, much obliged.

Was a very mixed bag for me. Car made no extra power after going from a smaller turbo on 14psi to a larger one on 17psi, filled the catch can twice, leaked out the back of the rocker cover and handled like a wet sock all day. Only managed to shave 3 tenths off my PB. I'll be compression testing shortly as I have a feeling the engine is showing its 23yrs and 145,000ks of age.

Could have been worse, got there and back in one piece and got to do some testing on setup and learn a few things the car needs and despite all the hurdles still managed to go a touch faster.

EDIT: I've sent an email to Adam about those VL drivers. I almost had the front of my car ripped off a number of times. they don't signal to pass and will drive across into your line without any hesitation. Also happy to go two wide, and sideways, through corners if you get up beside them.

I don't mind pushing harder and doing that sort of thing with mates but not people who drive like lunatics who clearly aren't watching mirrors plus it's not a door to door racing event.

There was an incident in one of the last sessions wasnt there?

Dont know the full story but it sucks when that happens at the track. Especially all the way out at Winton.

Hope all involved got there cars sorted and made the journy home.

Cheers all to a good day though.

The poor RSR's wernt up for the challenge but still had a lot of fun!!

yeah around 4:30 2 cars made contact. Unfortunately one of them a SAU member.

Short of it was one of the Honda's spun at the sweeper and went into the side of the SAU members car.

some bent arms damaged rim and panel damage ended his day.

no-one hurt thankfully.

Damn, sorry to hear that to whoever it was.

Martin you might remember me lamenting having so many Honda drivers in my group, the first 2 sessions were more a case of self preservation than going for outright lap times.

I got this from Adam re the VLs

"Hi Dan,

The VL’s are a group of people that come from Bendigo. They are generally pretty good, but on the weekend they had a couple of new drivers, but they were allocated into the Beginners group. I will have a chat to them and tell them to be more careful on the track. Obviously we want everyone to have an enjoyable experience so I am glad you took the time to email and let me know.

Part of the problem is the way we run the groups. I am working on a new process that we can easily identify which driver is in which group, so that our man on the track entry can control it better.

We are always evolving, or trying to anyway.

Cheers

Adam"

Much love to the SAU crew for sticking around and making sure I was all right and helping out. The car is messed up bad and it's going to be insane to repair it now. I'm just lucky that I noticed him lose control and managed to react quick enough to try to avoid it, otherwise he would have hit me right in the drivers side door.

Other than that, the day was great and was a lot of fun. I've uploaded all my photos for the day, check them out here. Took a photo of pretty much every car. :)

Mate that's no good about the damage and you managed to get 0 photos of my car but that's cool :D

The silver Evo5/6 in those pics, if you know the driver, tell him that I apologise for not seeing him coming sooner down the back straight. He might remember my S13 green/grey and big wing. I was on a cool down lap and checking guages etc when he was coming up behind me and I may have inadvertently caused him to brake earlier than he wanted to into the chicane.

42secs - footage of me on a cooldown lap yay :D I remember seeing that Evo roll off the road and wondered if he wasn't watching where he was going or had something bust as he wasn't going that quick and I'd followed him through there a few laps before at higher speeds.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
