I was driving the 32 you shot there. That was so close to a big spin but it recovered okay. Didnt realise the angle was that huge though!

Was a very well run day. We had issues the night before in true GTR fasion. Spat a front CV boot, had a speed cut on the factory ECU to get rid of and oil cooler lines etc to be made.

Between two drivers the pretty much stock GTR managed 80 something laps with no issues at all so was a sucessfull day.

Mine was a silver GTS-T w/ black rims,Post them all up mate :(

Got there in the afternoon, was great to see all the different cars out there. Man the white R33 gtst that smoke was cronic lol. Thought you were crazy still driving it round after that. Hope not to big of an issue. The R35 was the highlight to hear that thing around the track was like heaven. Cheers again to the organisers and thanks all the boys and girls for taking your cars out there so i had something to watch :(:D One day the Blue beast will be out there. One day lol.

That was me... He he he... Been chasing that problem now for 2 track days... Just trying to get some driving in as well...

In the afternoon I'd pulled the waste gate springs out, and as long as I kept the foot off it down the straight and didn't chuck it back into 3rd too early, she was all sweet and didn't smoke... unfort there was a few times I knocked it back to 3rd at like 140 pulling up for turn 2...

And that's why motors are built cheap in my car... You don't wanna hear about the first session and how "dodgy" that was... ROFL

Was a great day! Track was dry (at least for the time I was there) and cooler temps made for induction friendly boosting. I didn't have my shit together to get some track time, but did come along as a spectator. Will be sad to see Oran Park close up for good.

Here are a few pix I took. PM me if you want full size copies or perhaps a pic of your car from the day.

Hi Crew

What a massive day it was. Thanks so much for the support you all showed to come out to this day. To have Instuctors like Glenney, Bargwanna, Dyk and Seiders on hand made it so much easier for me to make sure everything was running smoothly. I was able to do a few laps in the afternoon which was great. I tried to tick every box that you would like at a track day....sorry there were no dancing girls though.

To have mechanical track support on hand if people needed it, which they did was fantastic....thanks Lofty and Scruff

From Matt Mead Photography (legend), the coffee guy, to medical staff, tilt trays, lunches, timing it was all pretty much there.

There will be plenty more of these days run in the future, obviously just not at Oran Park.

See all the pic's from the day here

    • 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 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together
