Are these circuit familiarisation days worth it the day before track days?

And by this I mean in terms of how fast you're allowed to "familiarise" yourself, if the passenger laps are limited in speed and what etc. How much time on the track? Nearly doubles the price of a track day but curious on the worth of it beyond getting to know the lines.

So pulsar basically has 3" intercooler piping everywhere except straight out of turbo and a 0.5m section after the intercooler cold side. (Intercooler and intake are 3"). Would it be worth changing that section to 3"? Would it be a bottleneck or just a source of heat? If manifold pressure is 20psi for eg, then this section would be higher I guess.

3 inch will flow 600kw, sounds like you are going overkill to me...

LAG for days... :P

Sounds like a massive waste of time/money to me.

First session is always a bit slower anyway... track may be a bit slippery in the early morning, your tyres aren't at the right pressure / temperature. So I always use the first session to cruise around and warm things up, get re-familiar with the track and then I come in, immediately check tyre pressures and set them to where I want them to do... Then Session 2 is my first actual fast one.

Might be worth going along to a day like that if it is 30 cars and heaps of track time, or they have professional instructors who can show you the fastest lines

Have spent over $1000 on artwork over the past couple of days. Getting old. #houselyf

Poor r32 looking untidy

How's houselyf for you Leigh? More interested in furniture than car mods haha

SELL ME THAT CAR

Haha yeah I went through the same phase, I just spent $143 on framing a few pictures from a Phillip Island track day to put in my 'study / mancave' alongside my Lorenzo / Hayden frames..

Got a Joker canvis for my HT room recently too.. #housemods

Also dat furniture $$$

Trying to afford/justify a cat back for the car atm..

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
