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.....

    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
