Position #1 in open and 12th out of 82 cars, hell yeah.

What an awesome experience to be part of especially after all the long long, did I mention long, hours that where put in by the whole team to make this happen. Saturday started off with a very early morning with hardly any sleep as the gearbox selector forks needed attending. All fixed and ready to go for the first session out, car was on for a low 1.32 when 3 corners from the finish line a turbo clamp popped off...damn! Especially cause the v sport evo pulled off a 132.4 taking first place, and it was morning which was perfect if we would set our fastest time as most teams do. The vsport evo stuffed their gearbox so their day was done but at least they pulled off a fantastic time. So fixed the clamp and ready for second session, firs lap out dean comes back into the pits with a misfire....farrrrk. This part was so cool to see, boys jumped in and did a magic plug change in pit lane to try and rectify the issue before the chequered flag dropped in a super quick time..out he goes and before the flag dropped, but didn't matter as the issue was still there. Second session wasted again. Found out it was a coil, now that's 2 coils that failed on us in 3 days, replaced it with the last spare coil we had and car was again ready for third session in 4 hours time. During this session the byp integra pulled a super fast time, high 1.32 I think which put us back to 3rd spot. So finally last session came and I my heart rate was going..so many people come to these events and the whole day is stuffed by the little issues not allowing to show what their cars can do. I couldn't watch so I went out behind the garages to hear the results on the pa. Deans out and he's on a flyer, (prior to heading out I tried to give him a motivational speech but failed miserably...note to self don't try this when exhausted as shit comes out wrong). Anyhow he passes the start line out lap which means he's all good so far and he was moving, he passed the finish line and over the pa comes the 1.31.78.... He'll yeah I was pumped, we all were. Great feeling when it finally pays off. Going over the data and dean hit 295.2km down the straight, stuffed up a couple corners and had to work around the teins not doing a good job but that will be fixed for next year, with a couple more little tricks that I'm hoping will see a 1.29.

Massive thanks to all our sponsors, and huge thanks to Brett and dean for all the hard work, without these guys there is no way that the result that was achieved in such a short time frame was possible. Big thanks to all that swung past to say hi and all that helped, shared a garage with some cool gtr's and overall most teams went out of their way to help out if needed. Seriously cool cars and I'm sure they will all be quicker next year. Now I need to recover and sleep some more before I look at that gtr again. I will post the vid shortly.

Cheers Andrew, wouldn't have been possible without people like you. When we needed parts ASAP you were the one that made it happen the next morning, not many suppliers or businesses in my time have been so supportive and just get things done when needed.

And a big thanks to all for the kind words, I knew all along that this gtr could do what it did, it just took some time to find the right people to make it happen. And to all those that doubted me along the way (you know who you are).......told you it's possible!

Well done mate, massive congrats!

So I have to ask... did you wind the boost right up or what? Lol

Lol didn't turn the boost right up, was close but always had some reserve that wasn't needed. If we did I know it would break into the 1.30's with some more drive time, but it really needs handling not more power....also played it safe as most people blew their engines up, like the vsport evo 10 on the Friday, and half the field. Well I didn't plan on doing another wtac next year and now that we most likely will. I don't want to reveal the figures just yet and that way we can keep the evo's, wrx's, and the rest of the field guessing but I think we have more than most that attended, even the pro cars.

Well done Steve and all of your team!

Was great to see it go so well and win its class......and give the Pro cars a good run for their money!

Was going to come and say hi, but you guys always looked so busy when I walked down, I thought it was best to leave you alone.

I hope you keep at it and improve it for next year.....keep a GT-R at the pointy end!

Cheers Chris, will try our best. Hopefully next year we aren't busy when you swing past to say hey.

    • 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...
