Alan and I were only there for an hour or so - we had a ferry to catch.

Was great looking day - and the cars really do shovel down that straight.

Hope everything went well and some fun was had :)

I was behind this car through turn 1 and around Southern Loop.

Around Southern Loop this thing was actually quicker than me but I was as close to his ass as I could be in order to get past him before Honda. Anyways as we were punching out of the exit of Southen Loop - which for me is around 6,000rpm in 4th - so around 200km/hr - this things back stepped out and he over corrected and flew off the track towards the ocean in a farken hurry.

I went and had a chat to the guy when the session finished - the poor car had lost half the paint down the left side from stones in the gravel trap - but he was packing up all his stuff and he was heading home and he was selling the car as he'd seen his life flash before his eyes and wasn't ever going to do it again.

Otherwise it was an awesome day. All of me, Scotsman and Frank set PB's fo the track and after spending so much time recently at places like Winton and doing things like Motokhana's / Dutton it was great to remember just how fast and how scary that place is.

Cheers.

    • 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.
