DIDO... as usual great day.

I thought the witches hats were a great idea, i normally tip in too early and wash out the front end on the exit or corners, i think it helped my line.

...and life begins with DJ-01s, speed limiter thru turn 1 !!!!!

Ok, I've got some pics from the day, I don't know all of you so I'm not familiar with whose car is whose in many cases. :D

Please also note that the track day was my first ever attempt at panning practice, and as you can see there's more practice to be had, so sorry if your car is blurry. :D I can only say I'll be at many more track days, so hopefully in the future these pics will come out consistently good. That said, some of these shots look pretty cool I reckon. Not a bad first effort. :(

Enjoy!

Cheers to every one who went. I had a great day on the track for my first time its good to have had no incidents or failures with the car.

Thanks Roy, I enjoyed your 32 aswell. Next time you drive mine it might have breaks and I'll try and dial out the instability in the rear.

You can try a bit more boost next time!!!

If any one out there thinks their a quick driver and havn't been on a track, think again. And inject your balls with steroids too if you want to take turn one at more than 180k.

By any chance did some one pick up my ferrari hat at the Cricketers Arms. I think I left it there?????

Guys, was a top day... good to get back to the days where we had plenty of space in our group... just a shame that the nembies had to run with the oldies... shit... gotta think of a better way of putting that! They could have got more of an opportunity to get out with people that have been before rather than following them. I think following helped at least Carlo though... And it appears that we have a few more addictees!

Unfortunatly I was not as lucky as the rest of you... I managed to shear 3 bolts in my exhaust manifold and thus have a car that will be off the road now untill the 16th of April. Oh well could have been worse.

I'm looking forward to the next one... which will be on the Monday the 9th of June (that is ages away) however it is a public holiday... so no excuses!

:Owned:

Majanal said there was a shortcut over to turn 5...but I think he lied.

And I would have got away with it if it wasn't for the paparazzi on the hill there.....the price of fame.....

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
