Thanks Duncan,

Been here a while though....just in the Stagea area hiding...lol....finding out about the world of the M35 Stagea....big learning curve!!!

Love to bring the R31 out to a track day but to expensive.....we only really use it for racing and maybe a test day every now and again to bed in new bit's or test/sort out something...if the timing's right though we might be able to make one of your track days and use it as a bit of a test session.

Would bring the M35 ARX but it might end up on the roof....bloody fat cow it is....and the brakes are next to useless...lol.

1.20 wakefield absolutely pouring rain and first time

I can vouch for that - it was pouring rain and cold on Saturday. I got a 1:16.4, but I'm not telling you what I was driving for fear of ridicule on this forum! My Datto track car is in pieces thanks to a spark plug 'picking up' the thread when I tried to remove it... of all the stupid little things that can go wrong prepping a car for a track day! So I took my road car down there instead. I think I could have gone a little quicker in the later session if it wasn't for the bloke in a shitbox proton rally car cutting half the corners and dragging heaps of mud onto the track just after all those apexes...

sorry Chris, didn't even realise at the time that anyone I'd know was there, apart from Marty. I should have, I saw your username on that other forum, but it just didn't click. I think after the 1180km drive on Friday my brain wasn't really operating all that well on Saturday. And apart from the stopage for the crashed Evo when I went back into town, it was all happening pretty fast out there.

there was someone else from SAU out there, who I was talking to for a while but I wouldn't have a clue what his username is. He's been thinking about buying one too, but was worried about how they handle until he saw mine out there on Saturday...

Car Make and Model: 93 R32 GTR

Circuit Name: Wakefield

Lap time: 1:18.4 - damp/wet patches

Modifications

Engine: Front Mount / Exhaust

Power: approx 210kw (UAS dyno)

Suspension: front and rear strut bars otherwise standard

Tyres: RE55

Brakes: standard discs / calipers Ferodo DS2500s

First time at Wakie in the GTR and first time out with a proper lap-timer (Mychron). It was pissing down first thing today, drizzled til lunch and lightened off after lunch. Still a couple of wet patches and water running across the track just after Turn 8 (the fish-hook). Should be back in about 4 weeks for another go - hopefully a bit drier......

Mark - was there another GTR out there being driven by a bloke names Jase?

Another GTR (R32 Maroon) - sorry I forget the guy's name. He was there with some others who had an S15 and Golf GTI between them - looked like the Nissan guys were really enjoying coming out of Turn 10! :)

yeah the maroon GTR is my mate!

do you know what times he was doing?

sorry - not specifically. I spoke to one of the group who mentioned 1:15 but not sure which car he was referring to.

Update: 1:37.06 for Winton

Only change to previous setup is 2860-5's instead of single T04z.

Arch, you're flying - I can say it's a great set up. We are now officially mechanically even. Should be good head to head.

Regards

Andrew

Andrew

Yep heaps better than the single that's for sure.

Mechanically even you say..hmm there might still be a thing or two you've got up on me still but they're not biggies and I'll try to get em too in the not to distant future *cough* transfer case. But looking forward to the head to head and following you around PI.

Tis around tree fiddy

Ah ok - transfer case - a great mod. I have got one of those attessa controllers to put in after P.I., be interesting to see how the two mods interact.

All I have to do now is try and keep the engine temp under control for 4 flying laps - no mean feat this time of year.

Regards

Andrew

Hey Andrew - on a test day I did at Winton I took 1s off my lap time by giving the Attessa button a couple of clicks. Infact my pb's at all tracks except Calder (where I haven't used it) have been with at least SOME value of input from the Attessa controller. Even though at places like Sandown and Phillip Island it may have just been one or 2 clicks. And I have transfer case mod done as well. The 2 mods act differently in how they effect the cars characteristics.

Cool, I've been umming and arring about one of those for 12 months and ended up grabbing the very last one that Duncan had.

Just got to gather up the courage to rip my virgin dash trim apart and cut and join a few wires.

Cheers

AA

cmon get the drill out, you'll love it. nissan agreed and added more and more front torque throughout the different attessa version, in fact Andrew's R34 runs about the most stock. It's a shame Mark isn't making them any more, they've raced in Japan, won a couple of dutton rallies, done targa etc etc.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
