I'd come too but im afraid you'll disappoint me :down:

But thats a good thing for me :P I've been told by Tracy, if I break another bone, no sex for a year :D

We racers joke about crashing ... if you talk about it, it doesn't happen. But I have crashed out at Mallala quite a few times now ... altho not recently. Haven't crashed in about 6-7 track days ... so I'm due for one! :ermm:

I need to get out to Mallala and pick the pace up a bit and see how strong my shoulder is now to the hard braking on the bike.

might come down Ruby, its only down the road from me :P

Didn't you buy new boots not long ago? haha

Yeah I did get new boots a while ago. I meant "new helmet and gloves".

I've done one track day since I broke my shoulder earlier this year ... and I was slow the last time out at Mallala due to that psychological barrier from the crash. The groups are "slow", "medium", "fast" and "race". I'll put myself in the group under the racers. Just so I can pace myself and not be tempted to do stupid things with the faster riders. Tyres will need replacing after this track day, so I might not get good times anyway. I'm not even going to time myself. I'm just going to go and have fun.

I'd love to put myself in the medium group and really carve up some riders, but I'll be sent home for dangerous behaviour ... or forced into the faster group ... so I can't do that :P

:D

ill time ya :down:

I wouldn't want to know. :ermm:

If I have no expectations, I'll have no disappointments. Until I'm sure I'm not held back by the "haunting memories" of my crash, I know I'll be slower. Plus the threat of no sex for a year kinda hurts the motivation :D

When I finish work today I gotta race home and prepare the bike, check all fluids, brakes, chain, tyres etc. I shoulda done that during the week instead of leaving it to the last minute :D

Well i went into boostworks this morning just to confirm whats wrong with my car and they confirmed that my seals are gone so looks like i gotta start saving for some aftermarkets cause it's cheaper than getting mine rebuilt

I've still got a low km pair of R34 GTR V-Spec turbos in the shed that I may let go for $650 each otherwise you'll pay at least double that for after market ones.

Thanks champ i thought about getting stock ones on while i save for the upgrade but figure its too much hassle, switching em over and paying for them. im just gonna buy a setof GT2860-5s from either croydon racing or if i have the coinin time may try and get yours.... If they're not already sold by then

I've decided I'm going to do a track day at the Phillip Island GP track again early next year. Its been over a year since my last blast around PI and I'm itching to shit myself again going round Lukey Heights :down:

Road trip anyone? :D

Yeah Tim, my headunit hasn't and never has worked since I got the car from Japan last November and I haven't been bothered getting a new one. I just like listening to the RB26 hit boost!

...and listen to my music on my phone!

yeah i was cranking the mp3 player for a bit, but i just wanted something that was easier to use, i got am mp3 headunit so i only need 1 cd.

and ive only got an sr, it gets a bit boring to listen to after a while, haha.

    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
    • I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?
    • Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot. 
    • It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
