I was wondering if any of you guys have been on wakefield park before, and what times you pulled off.

It was my first time there and i managed a 1:18.3190 In a stock r33 gts-t, beat all the other "modified" skylines there.

what suspension etc do u have

the breaks tyres are fine... the tyres had only done about 3000KM but have been warn quite abit, still HEAPS of tread left. and i havnt noiticed any break fade, exactly the same as when i got there.

I did abit of drifting so the tyres are abit more worn than other ppl, but i only did 28 laps,i went out for 3 sessions instead of 4 to give the car a break to cool down.

i've bene out there! i LOVE that track! but at the moment i suck at it!!! i'm only doing 1:19:03 and thats with me timing myself on my phone while driving! ;) so who knows how accurate it is :)

i've been out there about 3 times! First two times - crap tyres all round.. third time i had decent tyres and the back and shit ones still on the front (stock measurements for all tyres).

Silv - i've only changed my brakes once in the three times i was out there, and my tyres once... but i haven't been going all out! Had a chat with Abobob ( :) ) and his car is stock compared to mine which is almost stock! so i figure i just don't push my car hard enough!

will be back out there within the month with sway bars and more aggression!! fingers crossed i get close to 1:15s :D

I saw your car on the wall there Moanie. One of my mates pointed it out, he said, "hey look it's a shit car like yours!" grrr... lol

A mate of mine with a stock s2000 on stock rubber managed a 1:14:04. I guess power isn't everything. *shrugs*

not necessarily cause of the weight in the chassis for 180sx - more depends on mods

1st track day of mine anywhere (and still is) was at Wakefield, did 1:17 in RB20 180sx, 9psi, CA intercooler and radiator pathetically tiny and water temp peaking after 2 hard laps - return with me new cooling mods me reckons :wassup:

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
