Nice racing guys... that 323 was good entertainment as well.. pity about the VL... although i think that trying to keep up with the GTRs on the track was a big ask...I heard the driver saying that he was doing 200(kms/hr) then something went "pop"... understatement or w00t!! That "pop" pretty much finished the day... Well done peeps and of course, well done John!! Nice to see the 33GTR own all the 32s!!! hahaha!

Yep, they'll be hosted online soon (like our website? www.gunnamotorsport.com hehehe), so once they are, i'll post the link.

You can email him on [email protected] though :P

edit:- Duncan, you've got a PM.

Drunkan,

What time did you arrive. I was there for the first 3 sessions and then had to shoot home for some "Family Time".

I had a good day, it took 3 sessions before I settles in.

John well done a good day, perhaps next time we could have less admin time and more track time. Aim to have the cars on the track by 9am. I dont think we started until almost 11?

It was an awesome day - great fun and lots of entertainment.

What happened to your car 88silhouette? :rofl:  I was going to get some good photos to make up for the last time, but after the first lap you disappered.  I did get one shot though, which i'll email to you tomorrow... :)

afm plug was loose

when i left pit lane i shifted into 2nd gear and this made the freakin olug wiggle a bit

anyway just gonna solder the thing this week

shame i didnt see the holden on fire

Now that was a fun day,,, Thanks John. Top feeling not having to be towed back to the pits!!!!!!!. Now all I need is another track day soon just to finish off running it in.

Watch out all you quick guys this Rotors got shit-loads of grunt.

Kel great to actually see your GTR doing laps,,,it put a smile on my face.

Enjoy your week people I know I will,,,I'm still grinning.

Neil.

yeah plastic rear window due to over enthusiastic lightening procedures last night, we will probably return to glass window in future :uhh:

I actually think the plastic version worked quite well. it kept the outside outside and the inside inside. what more could you want. are you some kind of pedant? next you will need tyres on your wheels and all kind of crazy shit like that.

Kel, I dunno how you put up with it.

BTW, what about the large (understatement) 4WD that as Kel (or maybe it was Duncan) put it has been owned by the internet. hahah BI/GHEY...priceless.

Yep took a bit longer due to the last minute changes we had to do a sign on forms with Cams. There will be Professional photos link on our site very soon and there will be actions of yesterday on our DVD released in August.

Yes on handicap GTR Jason beat met I did 49.19 with slicks and Jason did a 50.66 on street tyres. He cheated though as had front diff still going, he he. Very cold day and traction was a big prob for the boat and yes I nearly clipped that Drive On Milk sign a few times. Best viewing area of future reference is southern end coming onto the straight.

I had new twin brake master set up which we had not tried on track and peddle was way too hard and could not pull it up at end of straight and had to brake way early. Actually went off the end twice. I could not lock the brakes no matter how hard I pushed and thought I was going to break the seat. I will be getting smaller master cylinders and testing and should be much better. Yes Jason or any other candidates next UAS track day at Oran South Sunday 25 September. Have your go.

Unfortunately Blair the pro video guy came late and missed me rounding up a stack of GTR's on the straight in the first session. Made my day thanks Paul you assisted this twice. Not good lots of cars did not see the day out MR2 did a gear box again and we quickly ran out of enough GTR's to play with. Zed powers on again.

bah! where is the time sheets man! Zed looked ok, but it's still not a GTR John, no matter how many GTR parts you have put on. I say give up the ghost mate, get a GTR under the UAS banner. I heard Jason wasn't even trying for that 50.66 the word is he kept grabbing at the thermos in his cup holder and sipping his latte all through the back section of the circuit...

good to see some GTR owners not afraid to get out there too. don't see that very often.

We are working with time keeper to get it all sorted and in correct classes of cars and will handicaps etc and a few cars not on the site. Should be all done tomorrow.

As a new club member and and my first time on a track i still have a grin from ear to ear. I would like to congratulate John and his team for organising such a top event. It was scary when i found out that i would be out with race cars but having some great tips from some of those instructers that were provided and my confidence growing iam hooked. Cant wait for the next one.

Sorry Nero,,,it looks like I edited your thread,,,I'm a dumb mod sometimes and hit the wrong button. What I was actually going to say is next time come down and say hello. Kel, Duncan and I are almost always at track days and we are a friendly bunch and can answer all your questions. It's not hard to pick us,,,,Yellow GTR,,,Black 350Z,,,White GTS-T with GTT wheels and my multi coloured Capri.

Glad you enjoyed the day buddy.

Neil.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
