How about taking the BEAST down there as well? Good to see the car fire up alright that day at ICE.  Don't know who i am? Another GTR happy owner, the black 32 that you help me looking at all the window seals and stuff.....the little asian dude :) ...

Taking car back to ICE this monday, full service and stuff...MAYBE bolt the CAGE on as well, don't know if i should  then see you all at Winton, maybe we could organise a little meet up for da south east peeps..!!!!

I was thinking of doing exactly that. But will have to see. Oil cooler needs to go in, need to fine tune, boost needs to be wound down, blow off valves need to be delivered, oversize pullies need to go on, timing belt needs to be put on, cusco brake master cylinder stopper needs to go on, 4wd system needs attention, i need a helmet and a fire extinguisher, oh and i need to learn how to drive it :)

I think thats all. So will be a tough call by the date :) I guess we will see how fast the ICE guys work :)

Pending on my suspension component inspection (after my unfortunate encounter with the gutter) - if car has no issues, then I will DEFINITELY BE IN this time :-)

Since I had to miss the previous track day I wouldn't want to miss this one.... :headbang:

Yeah just get out there and dont be a girl. That goes for all yall!

In all seriousness dont consider this event a track day as such. It's more a family day where people can become familiar with a track. It wouldn't matter if you drove a gtr or your mum's laser. just get out there.

Like Chris said, I'm organising a bunch of "I can out drive you, but I'm scared of the track... and my car doesn't have sump baffles......" experts. I've spoken to about 8 people, all keen. One is not scared of hurting his Renault Clio, but "it's the fact I don't trust the other dickheads out there".

I've spoke to Kate from reception at Winton Raceway, and this is how the day is structured:

Cost:

$20

When:

Sunday 19 December 2004

Time:

Gates open at 8am

What you need:

A car (road registered- Doesn't need to be race prepared)

A Helmet (any Road approved helmet is fine -motor bike/car/track/postie, etc)

Full length fire resistant clothing. ie: Cotton long sleave top/shirt, Jeans. Full cover footing.

Session Times:

Each session is for 30 minutes. Alternating between:

1 session with 1 passenger

1 session without.

It is not timed, so there is no pressure.

You can drive the track how you want.

As you sign in and hand over your $20, they get you to put your license number down and sign your life away. I think you can do it if it's been suspended, as you hold onto your card. So you could probably get away with it. Not too sure if you can, if you had it suspensed for 6 months or not. You hand your card in for that one.

They don't really care anyways. They only give you greif if you do something stoopid.

Just don't get caught driving down there on a suspended license. Got someone who can drive your car down there for you, then you just punt it around the track??

Yeah, mine was for 12 months, so I had to hand the licence in.

There is no way that I would risk driving it on the road, the consequences are too great, so I haven't driven for 3 months. I am sure I could find plenty of mates who would want to drive it up for me, as long as I give them a quick fang!

hopefully my car should c the track this time.

hey Al - ill make sure u work ;) ill put in a call :) ill ask for u specifically j/k :D

roy - u gonna be down in melb in jan and feb? if so ill be up for a friday bash wit ya :)

No prob! :)

driving my R33 on semi comps, i should complete the round trip in under an hour, just the right amount of time for the next session.

PS: I will still charge your store 8hrs travel + labour :D

    • 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
