Day was awesome big props to Paragon even though he drives a silvia :)... and also Derrick he gave me some pointers through out the day and by the end i was actually able to do some of them lol

By the 3rd one i was carving up (personal opinion :P) hehe you were right though a tap of the hand brake down the end there just kept it going was unreal. Look forward to doing it again in the future...

I still have not washed my car i figure i had better go to car lovers when management is not around. (we still can't wash our cars at home can we ???)

Of course you can't wash your car at home :D . The guy at car lovers did give me a strange look lol :). Still have to go over my car, have been using waterless wash, will use that to finish my car off.

Anyway was a Great day as always, looking forward to the video :happy:

good fun. I am aiming to go next time without smashing my front bar.

bought a new set of tyres after dorifto and the dumb ass "misplaced my hub centric rings and also assured my 235's would not scrub.... THEY DO!!!!!!!

now i will have to get 3mm spacers and have some more hub centric rings made...

I know i should have waited and gone to see mark at discount tyres but i did not like the idea of driving on completely bald tyres for a week.

It was really good to meet all of you and everyone was doing so well. the day is so much better with all nissans. Honestly you guys are much better drivers than all the other riff raff that are there on the open days :)

I was sure I couldn't anyways just that I spotted this on the actew website

General Exemptions

Water can be used to wash a vehicle's windows, mirrors or lights, and for spot removal of corrosive substances, and then only with a bucket or watering can filled directly from a tap (not by means of a hose).

I would classify the amount of shit on my car as being corrosive substances although it is not really a spot removal it would be a full wash hehe

Anyways I have the best idea I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner... THERMOS... safest way to get hot water down to the car wash and it at least cleans it up nicely.

Of course you can't wash your car at home :happy: . The guy at car lovers did give me a strange look lol :).

Looking forward to seeing Josh's video, if I get time I'll make a music video clip up from the raw footage.

Anyway with thanks to the photographer, here's some action from the day.

Hey all, Josh here!

Yeah have just looked over the raw footage, and u give r speedstars woot! I'll make a 30 sec vid clip that u guys can view, and from there we can figure out DVD copies + raw footage. Awesome day guys - good job on track, although I don't recommend filming inside a car, as generally stability isn't an option (and I REALLY like stability when I film haha!).

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
