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.

This is where the cost of a Tax accountant that knows what they are doing outweighs the costs   FYI $300/h

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

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

      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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      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

      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...
