Is anyone intersted in making a trip up to Wakefield Raceway in NSW on either the 16th or 17th May?

Im wanting to go up for either the UAS day, or the SAU-NSW Day on the Monday, depends if i can get the Monday off work.

I drove down from Syd the other weekend, i got a flat and had all sorts of probs, ended up needing a tow, but i kept a close eye on the speedo, and it would only be a 6 hour drive, as Wakefield is exactly 200kms from my place in Sydney, and if memory serves me right, the total trip from my place to Melbourne was 840kms...

Stops, who needs stops, the excitement of taking the car thrashing will keep you awake, its the drive back that will be tough as i always find track days exhausting.

There are a couple of days at Wakefield in May, bu ti was looking at the 16th & 17th, have a look at the Wakefield website, there will be a day that suits your trip.

mate, sub 1.10 is bloody quick....so good luck.

I've noticed there aren't that many track days down in Vic, so maybe you'll get some ppl to come along.

THere's a few of us staying the Sunday night in Goulburn, let me know if anyone else is interested and we'll try and book it all together.

I will know by Friday which of the days i am going to, most likely going to be the UAS day, but if i get monday off work then both.

Duncan i know 1:10s is a tall ask, but i have played with my susp setup so it is more track then street now, got some R compound rubber, and found about50-80rwkws in my glovebox, so if i cant buy a 1:10 or under then i give up. My best lap with the std turbo and road rubber was a 1"13.4, so i have some improving to do

Sleep in my car, or get wildly drunk and have Goulbourn Police throw me in the lock up for the night...or may just stay in a cheapie Motel/pub or same place as Duncan and crew. Like i said ill know this weekend, if you dont want to drive up you can hitch a ride with me...you can help me push it back to Melb!

The wildly drunk option sounds sensational to me ;)

I might be getting a lift :Oops:

Either

a) i've burst an oil line on my turbo

B) burst a seal on my 2 month old turbo

c) blown the motor

It cant be much other than the above three... i'll know more on Monday :)

Still looking to go, but the car has been at the mechanics for the last 3 weeks, (Susp then dyno)...so waiting to get the car back, and also get the clean bill of health, all looks good to go though, should be getting the car back Thursday.

R31Nismoid looks like hitching a ride up with me, no other Vics seem that keen, i think it will be worth the trip for the drinks on Sunday night

      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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      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...
