Prob still set from the last RTDC Track day? I reset mine after getting home from that.

Oh, and checked the ECU logs and on two runs I rev'ed it out to 8.5 - 8.8 RPM's. This new motor loves to rev, sounds sooooooo gooooooood!

Good effort there. My best was a 143.4 kph. Just rechecked the SMS and the GPS is off in that video. Trap speed on my fastest run was 138 kph - slowest trap speed of any of my runs haha. Pretty sure that Mick said he was in the 140's too and he has 100 kw more that we do, just couldn't get traction with his 265's even though they were semi slicks.

Here is that same run with Dave's fastest run for comparison. Pretty sure Dave did a 37 flat on that run. Clear that GTR grip and good launch gets me to the first chicane about 1.5-2 seconds quicker. But by the end Dave has closed that gap to 0.5 second. Good job Dave! Can't really tell how far the cars are out of shape from the in-car. But I know you were well hung out around turn 2-3.

In car of my quick run. Looks like being in a valley really messed with the GPS signal. All 5 runs trace different patterns all over the place. And through the second chicane the signal is off-sync and trying to "Catch up". haha. Too bad my trap speed was 20kph slower than my other runs. You see me get out of shape, lift a little and correct out of the second chicane. Lost me another 0.5 second there!

^ so the club has come from skylines to cubes and micras!

Time for my progress update. As Duncan said potty words were free flowing from my frustration on Saturday before I discovered the problem. Poor Ciaron copped most of it as he played "1000 random could it be" game at me while I was trying to logic out the problem. Feeling defeated I decided to go home on Saturday before the event finished. But the extra 20 minute drive up and around made the trip home just that much longer. Funny how your brain clears after fighting everything all day. Defeated, I couldn't even be bothered to change out my A050 Soft Semi slicks out for the drive home. Well as above, the problem did turn out to be that split actuator causing the ECU to kick in the overboost protection. Full Injector cut on about 1.7 or 1.8 bar. I decided to sleep in my own bed and head up in the morning. The news from the team was that we were 10 points behind first place and needed me to get my sorry ass off the bottom of the leaderboard So up at 3am drive back out to Bulahdelah. All the way I'm thinking I shouldn't have left my jack with Dave so I could have swapped back over to my road tyres. Even though I probably didn't have the energy to do it. I was thinking, I wonder if I will have any tyres left after the runs for my track day on Tuesday? Landing in to the SAU Farm House at 6 am, Alex greeted me at the door and promptly made me a hot brekkie. Quick power nap on the couch then out to the track. Since I hadn't done a power lap I wanted to take it a little easy on the first run. Pleasantly a 38.3 put smile to my face immediately. Times dropped for the next two runs and I landed a 36.54 to place me 9th overall. Up a big way from 40th where I was sitting at the end of Saturday. Thanks to EVERYONE who lended me a hand trying to sort out the problem. Especially Jez, Pete, Duncan and Ciaron. Let's hope the next event the SAU team doesn't have it so hard. Doing the trip up at 80kph and doing 1000k's of commute is just a bit much for 40% of the team.

I'm here too. About to enjoy some apple cinnamon pancakes courtesy of Alex

Bit of a disappointing day for me and hard for the SAU team all round. Duncan's Stag wasn't finished so had to double enter with Pete. Pete welded the clutch with a hard launch and was out most of the day. With a bit of team work they got it going again. My woes were ignition cut out hard around 5.5k rpms. Did two passes and checking all wiring with no luck so I packed it up and came home. Examining the ECU logs on the computer I noticed boost spike to 1.7/1.8 bar with the boost controller off. Turns out to have been a split line. Duh! Can't believe I was that stupid. So I will get up early for another drive back up north for day 2. Let's hope I can lay down a good time.

oh yeah never noticed that the dash config and vents are so similar

Here's an R33. Oh, and F1 on this weekend. Race all day, watch racing all night

Pulse Evo run last year:

Times from last year. http://blog.nulon.com.au/2014/04/nulon-nationals-results-round-1-2014/ From memory, the SAU team only got a dry run on the first pass. All passes after that were wet. Nick Adams ran with the Nulon team and thus had a couple of dry passes. I recon his time is the one to match or beat: 41.24. Duncan ran in Neils "stock" R33 (Cheryl) for a 46.75. I'd expect him to be a bit faster in the Stag tow vehicle The track record is 31 seconds

Here are a few more runs back to back.

Here's one of my runs. I'm doing another vid with a few strung together but it won't be ready till tomorrow night.

Nick, you should have called in sick and stayed. Woot! I'm on top. Now to go smack it up in the trackday thread for event #2. thanks for getting the times up so quickly Ciaron!

Zen guy watermarks as 300CP. Sure he'll post up some cracker shots like he did last time.

My arms and fingers are actually sore. I just copied my videos last night. Will have to look to see if there is anything "upload" worthy in there.

Awesome job PJ! Great mix of incar and external video.

Thanks to all the marshals. Such a great job of running everything and keeping things rolling along. I had so many runs, I actually have a little blister on the right hand from all the driving.

I just registered for paper vote Thanks for the regs Mat. Have to read. Can battery triangle be done in Blue electrical tape? That's what I've used in the past.

Can it honestly be more embarrassing than beating all of us and most of the field in an electric Leaf?

This video will give you an idea. The base plate still moves around a little so I might put an extra two screws in to make it more secure. I had another video that had a bit more vibration in it. Mind you, I use the curbs and on semi's you'll see the G-meter holding 2G's for over a full second.

I have your member card Dunc. Was meant to hand it off to you at round 1.
