Due to a few SAU members turning up to the calder evant i though i would just post up the details as there are 3 entrants for saturdays club day

Lee Wilson A Nissan Skyline

Patrick Yu A Nissan Skyline

Frank Piccioni A Nissan GTR

Franks car is a real weapon and is well driven usually resulting in the fastest time for the day ( rexy boys are close though) , if you want to see a well modified R33 GTR in action it could be well worth the effort.

Both me and Roy were looking at attending this day (because Roy said 1:25's around Sandown would be easy and he's never even been there before!) - but that damn thing was sold out in a few days and we missed out.

And my car is better already. Thanks to ylwgtr2 for having a "spare" clutch and for Gerald who has hardly done anything other than work on my car / clutch / gearbox in the last few weeks. haha.

:Oops: It was actually 1:20s that i thought would be easy :P

LOL... to clarify i did say 1:30s should be easy in a Skyline with susp work, no speed limiter and sticky rubber.... 1:25s were the target time that i would hope i could get near after driving round and round hundreds of times...

And i am having another std RB20 thrown in my car, so will still get to test my theories, and you get to laugh at me when i cant get under 1:30sec :Oops:

Bah I could do 1:20's in an excel.
If it was towed by Bens GTR.....

BTW is it a Sydney fetish to waste money on brakes?? ROY?????

I find mine are pretty good with racebrakes pads and slotted fronts (not DBA, $560 a set of 4 discs), but I do service them a lot and regularly get a few little bubbles. They feel squishy straight away so I know when they need treatment.

So who wants to go for a look?

Yeh my brakes have alway held up well, no probs, but i have never put 220+rwkws and sticky rubber at them and have always had a speed limiter...so have never really asked them to handle much abuse. Will find out soon enough at Phillip Island.

Does anyone know how Phillip Island is on brakes, looking at the layout i wouldnt think it is nearly as hard on brakes as Sandown. Meh brakes only slow you down anyway :(

As for modesty, hell i let everyone know just how bad a driver i am, put your money down on me spinning a few times everytime i go the track, im a sure thing :(

I'm going to try and get down there, but only a 20% chance... for some reason I thought it was Sunday, from the Maserati club calendar of events

Planned for sunday and was free too :)

Roy, I've never been to PI myself but everyone whom has been there has given me one simple bit of advise.

"Make sure you have good brakes". I agree it seems to be rather flowing but not having been there myself I guess you just have to listen to the advice of other who have.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
