Awesome day, some seriously fast cars out on the track all day long which was awesome to see :D:D

Shame a few left a bit worse for wear :D:(

GRACER blew a power steering belt ripping the crank angle sensor wiring out :D:( got it bodgied up and got home without power sterring which was great to see....

the white R32 GTR that lost the bonnet was disapointing... appeared to be pretty cosmetic but windscreens arent cheap....

B-Man - am i wrong in assuming you were driving the white R33??? i saw the car blowing heaps of smoke but wasnt to sure if you made it back or not??

The man hours that musta gone into that car would be amazing. I don't think their was a single standard part that I could see that hadn't been touched in some way.

Ha ha - No that wasn't me - but I saw that guy. Duncan and I were talking about him - His smoke kept ketting worse and worse and worse until bang.... (That was a GTR)

I was in the Silver R33 GTS-t - Went out first session - did about 4 laps, punted it down the straight, then when I braked/decelarated - massive amounts of white smoke from the exhaust. I think it scared the shit out of the Shane and Ben behind me - he he.

I parked it after that.

Drove home no problems - still makes boost. So I'm pretty sure its a seal in the CHRA. Not a big deal - Just more $$ (which I don't have)

Cheers,

:werd:

that guy was great.

its great to see what is acheivable with our cars with some talent :Oops:

ahh well all in good time :D

Tell me about it. I was coming onto the straight when my mirrors where filled with Jimbos line and then as he passed me I notice it wasnt jimbo in the pilots seat.

Hey Tosh GTR's are not immortal.

Roy Zed was strong but did not come up fastest car. Kinda The fish that got away story. I was only timed in the first session when I was setting up tyre pressures and suspension getting used to new set up etc Also was hitting rev limiter which we had a bit low only 7,000rpm. Second timed session when I was rounding everyone up, although Geoff from SSS Automotive was not there, only came back very late when he left to change rear diff so? One of my Zed fans with a zed stop watch timed me at 48 something secs. Skylines ruled again though in numbers and times. Lots of rubber on the track which got distracting and exciting when getting up close to car in front prior to over taking with rubber hitting your screen.

Big role up had 50 cars.

Times will be on our site soon.

Its also up on the racetime website

Good to such a good turn out after last year, damn shame about the skylines that died though :)

John, good to see it wasn't you that forgot the bonnet pins this time :cheers:

Yojimbo here (SAU wont let me log out and back in as myself), I just wanted some photos of the silvia.

I dropped around to Hills Motorsport after lunch on saturday after a call from Mark and Siko for an epic mission to get this car finished, and didnt get home till 8pm sunday !!!

When I left home i never imagined I wouldnt return before the track session and so I left my camera behind :)

Totally rooted by the time we got back but well worth it. 30 hours from nothing to rb26, including all 'cooler plumbing and incorporating factory loom and modified factory computer, fuel system, tuning....

As well as a stop to RESPRAY THE FRONT HALF OF THE CAR !!!!

Need Pics - we were too busy to take any !!

ALSO, the silvia was only running about 14psi, the least boost that the wastegate would allow. made well in exces of 280 rwkw - power could not be measured even with 4 100 kg guys in the boot ! 280 was just the highest figure recorded.

Damn

I thought the clutch was slipping in 3rd and 4th untill I seen under the bonnet of that thing

    • 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.
    • 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 😂
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
