Please keep the talk of silly stuff to a minimum peeps...you never know who might be reading these forums and as these are official cruises, individual actions reflect negatively on the whole club. These are CAMS sanctioned events and we don't need to lose our ability to obtain permits in future or make a name with the boys in blue :)

On another note, this looked like a really good day with a good turn out for a winter event...I'm quite sad I missed it. See you all at Garage Cafe hopefully.

Yeah looks better in person that I thought.

That 34R has a very tough stance. Rims past the guard with quite a bit of negative camber. Toughest out of the 3 GTR's from behind IMO.

Yeah for sure and I believe I have seen the car before.

Good to hear!

I should have recognised the extra vents on the front bar, it's VU's old R34 GTR.

Lol I took some off my phone but they are abit biased to my car lol

Obviously ran out of storage space on your phone by trying to take pictures of the Narnia toilet on the cruise ship

the world was my urinal

and lol at the elderly dipshit saying to my missus

"thanks for nothing you ignorant bitch"

then got scared and ran off. lol

Grandma had some balls to say that, luckily no-one else heard it.

And yeah missus said the lady was about to sit down but did a runner when everyone heard and was looking around to see who it was lol

R32 gtr was mine I was just asking bout how it handles with stretched tyres that all nice to meet some nice blokes good day

Ahh, was probably awkward me not answering then. LOL!

Handles great with stretched tyres. But I think theres a bit too much stretch for my liking, looks good though :P Gotta risk it for the biscuit.

Always wanted a gunmetal 32r :[

Need strut braces, sway bars, bigger brakes, and a turbo. Who wants to sponsor my civic? ;]

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion 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. But nothing 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. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
