Hey Russ, yep me and Jarrard. The little mx5 will get a workout.

Nice one, MX5's always seem to do well out there on the pan :) We've only received your entry / payment so far, so send Jarrard over to the entry form as well to book in his own entry :)

I was planning to leave on Saturday morning at say, 6.30-7ish.

Meet at Greensborough Hwy, Red Rooster Car Park (quite big).

Jump on Ring Rd then Hume Hwy.

Hey Guys,

First time poster here. I'm really looking for SAU's help here. Just this weekend I won a spot to represent Australia at Silverstone England in the GT Academy. I'm looking to gain as much track time as possible, ideally in Nissan vehicles given that the ending prize if I were to win the competition would be a racing contract with Nissan. See news article here: http://www.nissan.com.au/Discover/News/2015/July/20/SIX-AUSTRALIAN-GAMERS-ON-BRINK-OF-BECOMING-A-PROFESSIONAL-RACING-DRIVER-FOR-NISSAN

The issue is that I have just two weeks until I leave for England (August 5th), and I don't have access to any Nissan cars or any performance cars of note (sold my VE SS about a year ago and been using a cheap Excel as a commuter since). What I'm really asking for, is whether anyone would be interested in supporting the only Victorian representing Australia over there, by allow me to share their ride for this DECA meet, and potentially a track day at Sandown the following week along with the HSV owners club. Nissan Australia are more than happy to provide a reference of my driving talent if needed as well. Also note that I'm not looking to set lap records at any of these meets, but just to gain some more experience at speed in the leadup to Silverstone. Naturally happy to pay for any costs associated with the drive as well - i just need seat time at speed.

If anyone is interested in supporting me, can you please let me know. It would be MASSIVELY appreciated! :)

Cheers!

Simon

I would think Nissan might loan you a 370Z for the weekend however! pretty rich of them

Yeah unfortunately not. Having said that, they are footing the bill for all of the cars and tracks we'll be driving over in England not to mention the overall prize, so I think what they are doing for virtual racers is pretty amazing. :)

Tampered Motorsport - that's a good call I think. I'll give them a buzz. Thanks for the heads up. I tried Driver Dynamics - no answer the past 3 days. Will give them another go. Evolve Driver Training looks interesting as well, although I just got word from Sony that I'll be heading out that evening so it may not be feasible.

Yeah I know Josh Muggo. We first met back in GT Academy 2010, and he was up at the final on the weekend as well. Great bloke, and definitely one I'd like to emulate and go one better. :)

Thanks for confirming event start Birds.

Amend departure time to 5.30am @ Greensborough, this should give ample time to arrive following scrutineering and driver debrief.

If there is not many people interested in driving up, I'll just head off per own schedule.

Cheers

Yeah you don't wanna be 'that guy' that rolls in at 8.30-8.45am as driver briefing is almost starting. I think I'm doing scrutineering and I wanna be done by 8.30am to get everyone out as fast as possible

Yeah good point.

While we're at it. READ THE SUPP REGS!!!

- All vehicles must be equipped with a minimum 900gram fire extinguisher securely mounted inside the vehicle with a metal bracket. Extinguishers must comply with the Australian Standard – AS 1841 and not be more than five years old

Don't rock up with a bracket secured by cable ties. It must be SECURE! If it's not, you will not be able to drive until it's fixed up.

There is a tutorial somewhere that gives instructions if you're not sure. Someone post up the link??

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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...
