So I don't see too many skylines on the list? What's everybody else's excuses?

I just faxed my form off but thought I'd ask everybody what sort of times are respectable around winton. I stuck down a conservative 1:50 for the old datto but would be dissapointed if I didn't go quicker than that. What sort of times should I be looking fore?

EDIT: Congrats Chris on the bub chris!

Weather was perfect. I even got a bit sunburnt.

The small numbers meant that you could pretty much do as much driving as you liked towards the end of the day.

It was a shame to see some poor bloke smash his R33 GTR on one of the last sessions of the day. It had some pretty heavy damage and definitely needed a trailer home.

Great weather and the car didn't break so all in all a sucessfull day.

Jack thanks for the advice over the phone to help me improve my times. The Stig is always there is spirit :D

It was my second outing with the first one lasting 7 laps and a broken engine a few years ago.

She was getting a bit hot though so i could only get in 3 laps before i had to back off and come into the pits.

There's definitely more in the car I just need to get more track time under my belt.

That's a real shame re the 33 as it was a nice looking neat car too. I left early and knew nothing of it. Here's hoping the repair bill ain't that bad.

gotta love winton. Such a good little track! I had a blast out there and got more than enough runs in. Nothing broke except for my pos boost controller, so i got an average of 7psi for the day and still beat my dutton time. Shows what a lot of laps will do, especially there!

You would hardly know Sau went to the rex days by looking at the turnout. Was good to meet Steve in the RX8 while doing the DT. Hopefully we'll be seeing you guys at future events.

Had a really good day, good work by the organisers, the event ran through the day perfectly.

Made me want my car finished even more now that the season is all back up and running...

Any hoo... once I recovered from the ride up in Frysie's car i set about getting some footage.

I've thrown together a bit of a clip with some of the days action...

Some bits are a bit rushed but you get the idea :P

Enjoy

How pumped up are Dave's arms after piloting the Datto? :(

That has inspired me...just rang Racepace :P Bring on being homeless and sleeping in the streets, Ol Silver will ride again :)

It is a handfull. And lets face it, driving a datsun is cheaper than a gym membership these days!

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.

      Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?

      Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
