Nah i wish i owned that black gtr,i think i creamed my pants aswell

i was in a passenger in a metallic blu silvia.

Hope u dont mind AGIT8D

he's a hoon, his bike should have been impounded :( I heard one of them fell over?

The first leg was nice and cruisy ...and then I saw a VL run into the back of a VY or something ahead of me....

Anyway, the amount of money raised was great :D thanks to all that organised it ;)

time to thank some ppl

all of you for coming and donating

most of you for behaving

to alex aka syncope and jilted, without them this wouldnt have got off the ground. i thank them for thinking i was worthy enough to help do this. this is one the nicest things ive ever done so im overjoyed to have been asked to help out. it was an honour working with both of you guys

to tara, ash aka our web guy , and sarah aka [nice] 's gf for helping me collect money at the start. i was being swamped and the help was great. sarah alone was worth 1k in donations hehehehe . to ash, your help throughout the night was astounding. cheers sir, my hat goes off to you

to the police for their respect, and yes they where very very lenient. dont argue that.

to xspeed who today threw 300 bucks

to ken from hyperdrive and roy from c-red with what i heard where generous donations.

to god from saving our country from such a fate, and for giving us the chance to show that ppl still have hearts in todays world.

for every person who came up to me and said thanks for doing this.

let me say a few words though - i didnt do this for me, antilag or for anyone here. i did this with these guys for those over in asia who dont have the chance to have a life like ours. the generousity of you all astounds me, 3.1klast night with that set to push 4k by weeks end. that is 4 houses built in ache....

4 families who can again begin life

4 families better off

only 4 you say ? imagine each family of 10 dieing because no one built them a home... now think about what weve done. weve enriched lives, no matter how little. ppl may say on thats not enough, but when a family in desperate aid gets this im sure they will thank you with all their hearts. yesterday was super rich, but we gave from the heart, and my most postive thoughts go out to you.

to see the amount off ppl pull together in 3 days to do this is awesome. i think this screen cannot tell u how honoured i feel to have done what we did yesterday, and to have the chance to address a crowd of ppl all with the same intentions and thoughts was a truly awe inspiring life changing thing. for the first time ever ive done something with no regard to how it would benefit me. for once i wasnt a selfish little brat. im proud of myself even if no one else is

i thank each and every one of you once again.

from the bottom of my heart,

Tom

i wont be pressing charges as he has non voluntairly donated 300 bucks :( plus a blood nose aint worth the time of it.

who was the asian guy with the big telephoto lense camera looking all professional? He was taking some interesting shots... wouldn't mind seeing them!

Photos should be up shortly on my mate's car club site (will put link up when its official), and also should be appearing in a few various issues of Community Newpspaers as I overheard some journalists talking about doing a writeup on all the Tsunami donations / fundraising here and was quick to point out last night's cruise.

Good cruise, never seen so many cars on a cruise before! Yeah cops were a lot more leniant than what I would have thought. As for stories (about fights and any other rumour someone decides to start and twist) they tend to get out of hand and be very false. Recommendation for that is for people to not continue gossip unless they know it for fact. And that doesn't mean someone said it so it must be true.

Glad that everyone pulled together to help the people in Asia! Was fantastic to see!

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
