hi, thanks to the guys that organised the day, was a great day!

had alot of fun, didn't break anything, brakes lasted well, tyres weren't as great as I hoped. The left hand front tyre took a hammering - might need to consider a shock upgrade/driver upgrade.

I would not recommend the Goodyear GSD3-F1s for a track tyre, great in the wet on the road but a bit too much give when cornering at high speed on the track.

If you havent been to a track day make sure you get out there and give it a go!

Hey, just wondering what gears the other Skyline drivers were using.

Myself: Clubman track

5th at the end of the front straight (~170km/h at the end)

4th through the first long right hander (110km/h)

4th on the short straight (up to 130km/h)

3-4th through second long right hander (100km/h)

4th next straight (up to 140km/h)

3rd in sharp right 180 deg (down to 60km/h)

3rd right round the lefts then 4th into the second main straight.

4th end of secont main straight (150km/h)

3rd at the final right hand 180 deg onto the main (front) straight.

I think I was prolly using too high a gears, But I was trying not to hammer the car. I was also changing at around 5500 RPM.

What about everyone else?

Clubman circuit diagram attached.

R32 GTS4 - 5spd manual: Clubman track

4th at the end of the front straight (~160km/h at the end)- braking at end of concrete curbing on pit exit.

3rd through the first long right hander (130-140km/h)

3rd on the short straight (up to 140km/h)

3rd through second long right hander (130km/h)

3rd next straight (up to 140km/h)

2nd in sharp right 180 deg (down to 60km/h)

2nd into 1st left and 3rd just before the 2nd left then

4th 3/4 way down the second main straight (150km/h-160km/hr)

3rd just before final righthand ,

down to 2nd at the final right hand 180 deg onto the main (front) straight.

could have went faster thru 1st and 2nd long right hand corners with my old falkens but my new goodyear gsd3-f1s tyres were squirming their way out to the outer ripple strip. Tip - dont use these tyres on the track, too many exposed edges and flex in the tread, great on normal roads in the wet tho!,

I wasnt going to hammer the car, but once you get going and hear that awsome RB engine note at full song its hard not to hang onto those gears!.

Changing at about 6500-7000 rpm, way below the readline!...lol

Changing at about 6500-7000 rpm, way below the readline!...

What is the redline on the R32 GTS4? It is 7000 rpm on the R33 GTST.

4th 3/4 way down the second main straight (150km/h-160km/hr)

Supprised you were getting up to 160 km/h down the back straight, I was only tipping 150km/h, I was using higher gears though.

3rd through the first long right hander (130-140km/h)

I thought I was going a bit slow through this corner but don't think I would have held 140km/h.

I am sure you are way past the peak of the torque curve at 7500 - 8000 rpm for a Stock RB25DET, the only thing your doing around that rpm is killing the engine.

I think you may have me mixed-up with another car, mine has a built RB26 engine with 2530s, HKS Step 2 cams etc, peak power is a bit under 8000 in mine.

What is the redline on the R32 GTS4? It is 7000 rpm on the R33 GTST..

should have used 'rev limiter' instead of redline but car will hit 8k without a prob.

Supprised you were getting up to 160 km/h down the back straight, I was only tipping 150km/h, I was using higher gears though..

I was coming out of left hander before this straight as hard as I could in 3rd gear. Keeping those corner speeds up helps alot of course when you hit the straights.

I thought I was going a bit slow through this corner but don't think I would have held 140km/h.

car has rb20 det and 4wd which helps a bit plus is a bit lighter than a r33.

Yeah that explains a few things, I assumed you were talking about a RB25DET.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
