Hey all !

Yesterday was the Rexnet forum's track day, which I tagged along to enjoy the beauty that is racing around Wakefield park. Great day all in all.. A couple of casualties:

A 180sx with an electrical fire under the dash

EVO6 with a siezed engine

1 blown turbo

Other than that a fairly good day.. Everybody had a great time and us Skylines showed the Rex's a thing or two about real racing with rear wheel drive.. A lot of good drifting and fast times. Hat off to Frankie's R34 GTT which proved to be the real monster of the track. Great sound from that exhaust!!!

Here are some pictures from the day... Most are of my R33 at stages.. Note the picture with a dirt cloud up the top of the screen, and my car around the bottom corner - caused by one very wide drift - oops :D

hey giles! good to meet you down there, i didnt know you were on sau? i thought you were a work mate of damo's?

anyways, yeah top day, as per usual!!!

next trackday for the rexnet guys will be the 27th of august...carlo has a trackday on the 17th and there is something going on on the 16th too...i think a UAS day.

thanks to 2 people from sau! andrew (for the photos especially) and duncan for their unrequited love and support :P i even managed to get some private driving tuition from the master himself and i experienced, in my own car, some of duncan's driving talent!!! :headspin: with smoothness comes quicker laptimes!

benm, i think i dropped into the 12's, but thats hoping.... ;)

Actually I reckon that car of urs is a very nice steer :P you've gotta expect a 1400kg car to roll a bit no matter how much spring or roll bar you have.

You were having a good drive out there too, its a shame there was so much traffic in some of the sessions, I didn't actually get a time on a lap where you weren't held up so I'm not sure what times....damn quick tho....

yeah rightio. fat bastard the car is, even with my weight in the driver seat its rollin that much! hahaha what a bus! :P

surprisingly it only really got busy when the track was open to all categories in the afternoon? aside from that, i thought it was perfect? only 7 to 8 cars on for each session...

yeah of course I am on here - I'm a mate of damo's and the guys from rexnet, but do remember - I drive a skyline and have some good taste of forum's, hence why this is my main place to be ;)

nah, clutch is still f***ked but I ran low boost on the day so not to stress it out too much.. what an awesome day...

merli - awesome pictures man... started off by saying that you didn't think they were great, but they turned out fantastic. i asked if you would do my wedding day, but i don't think my future bride would be happy with getting married in a drifting skyline down Wakefield's straight... :P

and franks - awesome car - i think you heard me say it about 17 thousand times; but the sound of it at full throttle.... wow! if i were a chick, i'd root ya..

definitely have some good idea's of things I would like to do with the car after seeing some work that the other boys in skylines have done to their to get the type of performance... unreal show boys!!!!

Giles..

wow, what a compliment! :D but im not into chicks who dig my ride only ;)

heres some movies from a mates incar video mount. sorry about the exposure but the camera was obviously setup abit incorrectly. i've ripped them to wmv9 so you should be able to set the video brightness and contrast down a little.

    • 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.
    • 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...
