I have to agree with red, wakefield is a good circuit, but it is too short and tight... I like EC because it has a good mixture of fast sweepers and tight turns, it is also longer, much longer. Best time at EC (fast sweeping track) is 1:58, best time at wakefield (slow tight circuit) is 1:16 I think? I think that EC is smoother too.

There is a track day at Wakefield on 27th June, see thread attached.

Good vid,

What mods are you running?

Exhaust, suspension, bleed valve ;)

I really want to try the Creek. See what she'll do on a track which is more suited to powerful cars. Wakefield is quite tight for overweight cars like Skylines. EC is a skyline track.

But the good thing about Wakefield is that it's cheap and safe.

Interesting, I prefer Wakefield because there's more emphasis on corner speed, if you want to drive on straights try drag racing:burnout:

Best at EC is 2.00.07, Wakefield 1.11

The key to a quick lap is always getting around the corners fast, and it sounded on the video like there was a traction problem. Try some better tyres and watch the times drop! My Wakefield times dropped 6 second when I switched from Falken borings to Dunlop Formula Rs.

I find E/C more exciting than Wakefield. Although I'm not finished with Wakefield yet, it leaves me wanting more. After a session at E/C, I can contain my frustration in the car for a month or so.

I still want to do Oran Park though...

I can't get the video the download....DAMN MACS!!!! :P

but anyway, if anyone is ever doing some laps at Wakefield in a GTR and wouldn't mind a passenger...I'm hella keen ;)

Did I mention I'm hella keen???? :D

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
