That's just how long you gotta wait mate, to be honest I'd be very very very surprised if Sean or Andy know who I am before I rock up with my car and they've both tuned it many times. Got nothing to do with you not having had your car tuned there before.

As for how long it takes, generally if it's JUST a tune and it all goes according to plan then it's done by about 3-4pm if you drop it off first thing in the morning. But there's also a chance you don't get it back that day, it depends how they go with the other cars they have booked in. And if you're having other work done, ie. turbo install + tune or something like that then forget about getting it back on the same day, that's usually between 2-3 days.

In short: plan to be without the car for a few days, if you get it back sooner then that's a bonus.

Yep, gonna be my wheel nut bitch again Brendah?! Might let u take the big girl out for a lap or 2 if ya good so bring you helmet. Will be running the street wheel/tyre set-up tomorrow, so there'll be no lap times broken :down: Too lazy to change em over for a half day track day.... and hung over.

Bringing the HQ out for a few laps now you have your new shockies n brakes sorted?

Looking fwd to it.

Righto guys and girls!
Now that I'm finally back in action with the blue monster, my first track day will be the 14th June.

My old man is also planning on having the GT-R back out with his repaired front end and new oil cooler so it should be a very good show of RB noise and father - son banter if nothing else ;-)
Keep in touch on here in the mean time gang and let me know if you can make it out.

Usual deal: 9AM - 5PM, full length clothing, closed shoes, good helmet etc All details are on www.wascc.com.au

Hoping to encourage some new comers this year, so let's keep communicating and encouraging each other on here and how ever else we can.

Cheers,

Bren

Wes that's a bumber mate! Wish I could be at the one before as well but I'll be working away. We should catch up this break if you're free mate.
That's great to hear Bryce! Look forward to seeing you's out there. Keep an eye out for us Blake boys and the bay side blue R34, and come say hello ;-)
I'm pumped already. I've decided I'm just going to run my current old R888's totally into the ground because it will be my first track time with the new blue monster so no point in trying to brake lap records so to speak - I just want to learn to control the power and get comfortable with the new set up (hopefully without heading off the track and wrecking the new paint/body kit) haha
Talk soon lads
Brendan

Went on my first track day last night in prep for yours Bren :)

Only did short track as it was raining during the day.

Got a Flat 60 seconds exact for the short track, not sure if that's good or not, but it was my first time ever on a track racing :)

Really good fun!!

Car went great!! No Issues!

Hey Bryce. I've been in touch with the boys and it looks like everyone I've been talking to is going to make it - despite the threat of a few possible scattered light showers. Are you and your mate still looking good to be there this Friday? There's 5 confirmed hypo skylines going to be there so far - all big hp and nice set ups too, which will be awesome for the camera footage.
Cheers
Bren

Hay bren, me and my mate will be there in our r33's, can't wait :) hopefully good weather comes our way to

Cheers Bryce

Hay bren, yeah mate I'm still going, mate has dropped out in the other r33 , so that's a bummer, coz his car would of been added on the hypo skyline list :) but couple of other mates are coming. Can't wait to hear all the rb's on full noise tomorrow, sounds like it's going to be a awesome day. cheers bryce

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
