Wow!

A massive thanks to the exec team.

if it weren't for your selfless work, we wouldn't have events like this.

What a fun, wet, slippery, social, wet day.

had a ball.

ran some decent times considering.

Please, post stories and photos here.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand, go.....

massive thanks for all the organisers.

Thanks for Eric for taking me out the first run, your input was actually very very helpful. Sorry for nearly putting you into the wall.

Thanks for those that gave me passenger rides later on after I had given up on my tyres.

Thanks to all the execs, members, and everyone else who made the day a great success.

I think overall a great day was had. People generally drove within their limits, and the track marshals were quite understanding of the conditions. I hope the new guys had a blast, and learnt lots about car control in a relatively safe environment.

Not my best execution on lap 20 something but thoroughly enjoyed the day until the wall got me. Thanks to all for making it easier on the bruised ego. Big thanks to Ciaron, Nick and particularly Brian for organising the first hardest part: where the f%#@ do I take it and how do I get there?!

Cheers

Scott

Had a great day driving a lemon, well done to Mr Wootten came out on top in the tricky wet conditions.

I think the R31 lemon really proved it self today with over 100 laps for testing and placing 5th and 6th outright for the day.

Big thanks to all involved in organising the track day.

My first trackday & I had maaad fun!

Thanks to everyone who attended. Got to hang out some cool people :)

Wasnt expecting to do the times I did in the bone stock silver GC8 - especially in the weather we had. Massive thanks to Eric (Pezhead), Brett (r32-25t)and of course Matthew (DeKA) for their driving instructions and guidance.

Cant wait for my next trackday!

Had an absolute blast at track day.....was fair sh*tting bricks in the first couple of sessions. Really happy that I improved throughout the day and ended up with a time I was happy with.

Plenty of good chit chat & the day was really well organised!!!!

It was a really great day, So much fun and I learnt so much driving in those conditions. I just need to grow a bigger set for turn 5

Thankyou to Eric for taking me around in the first session, his guidance really helped.

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
