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.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
