Super Sprint Day - Lakeside Park - 11/05


Recommended Posts

Event:
Super Sprints at Lakeside Park

Description:
This is a super sprint day. Finally a day to put your money where your mouth is. Put up or shut up. Bring your game face for at least 3 sessions of 6 laps at Lakeside Park. Fully timed laps and the ability to really prove your abilities. Game?

This is a full track day.

There will be practice laps from 9:30am through 12:00pm. This will allow you to get used to the track and really understand your vehicle through every turn and damn kink on the track.

We will then break for lunch and smack talk.

At 12:30, we will be briefed and then onto the track for our laps. We've been promised at least 3 sessions of 6 laps.

Location:
Lakeside Park

Date:
Saturday, 11th May 2013

Time:
Be there by 8:45am for a 9:30am start. We don't want anyone holding us up now, do we?

Cost:
We've been able to organise a sweet deal with the guys from QR.

$150 for members
$175 for non-members


This has been ridiculously well priced. When you consider that the open sprints alone are $175. You're getting a 3 hour practice + 3 sprint sessions for $25 less. Bargain!


There are only 15 spots available.

From today until the 11th of April, we will only be releasing this event to you guys on a first in, best dressed basis. If you reserve a spot but haven't paid and submitted your entry form by the 11th of April, your spot is fair game. Not only that, from that date we will be opening this event up to other clubs as well. Whether it be the Supra, BMW or aus300zx boys, they will have the opportunity to claim any unpaid spots.

So if you want to guarantee a spot, get your dollars in!

Is that "shicane" they set up going to be apart of the lap now?

Don't believe so because

I believe that is only for happylaps to slow us down around the back.

^this.

Happy laps is meant to be just a drive, so they put the chicane in there to slow you down. Sprint day shouldn't have it and I'm 99% certain that we can remove it.

Few cars at happy laps last weekend that would break that then. Best bet would be to ring them mate, they were running a sprint session after we finished and a few of the cars in that were damn loud.

If your car exceeds the noise restrictions they will try to help you rather than kick you off, i.e. they will give you steel wool to shove in your muffler, etc. If that doesn't work they may ask you to not use full throttle or something like that to keep the noise down.

As long as your car is remotely near street legal noise you'll be OK. If you have no mufflers at all or a loud screamer pipe, you won't be.

I think they are a ~95-98 db at 30 metres track.

I remember them mentioning it when i was there a few weeks ago.

My car has an Apex N1 Pro (3-3.5") with no cat excpet when its a must (Yes i know.......it keeps destroying them, and it is a track only car)

So its not stupidly noisy but makes a decent racket.

I never had any trouble at all.

But yeah straight pipes and ext. gates and your done i think.

Cheers

As mentioned in the post, we will be opening this up to other clubs in the 11th of April - four days away.

If you want to secure your spot, get your cash in or PM one of the Execs/committee members to see how we can accomodate you. :)

The guys focussing on this are myself, @@Miss-R34, @@Cadmoon. Other execs will be able to help as well.

Edit: Hey hey. Entry forms are up. :)

    • 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
