I dont know if anyone ran? I saw Greg there in the morning off to get his registration but didnt see him again? A Black 32 GT-R in the car park with SAU stickers as well. There was a stripped out 33 on the track its the only skyline I saw.

The Formula 3 cars on track vs the karts was lol though

I left about 12:30 just as about 50 Evos & rex's showed up, some damn quick cars out today though. Glad I didn't enter I would have been destroyed by everything on track today!

There were a number of our guys out. Fastest from our group was Phil with a 56.8 I think. Stupid quick. Greg ran with a faulty transponder chip and didn't get timed properly.

Chants got to sit in Shawn's 4 door 34 with 'factory upgrades' and enjoyed that.

Was a great day.

The practice sessions were crazy once we found out who we were practising with. 'Just go out with the sedans' :wacko: . No briefing of nothing basically line up show your arm band and floor it out on the track and try merge in and find a spot between numerious aussie cars, Carrera cup car, merc sedan, time attacks, rotaries, v8's , Hyundai class etc. Keep ur eye in the rear view mirror for guys trying to pass in close proximity, even around corners at speed. On the straight i was fine, but braking and corning um :whistling: . Was heaps fun :yes: , but may not suited for some people.

The sprint were good. started 12:30

4 rounds of 4 to 5 laps each. Little bit of traffic but not to many cars, we all got held up at some stage, but generally was a good free run and plenty of time out there.

In the final round greg got a 1:04.8.

Cordo got a best of 1:08.2

I got a best of 1:07.5

i certainly found my limits with grip, brakes and overheating.

Would do again, but with some improvements done to the car.

Major bummer re Greg's transponder. What was the final washup there? Did he get any money back - did they finally sort it out at all?

Best for me for the day was a 56.2. The biggest smile I got though was watching the GT3 disappear in the rear-view.

that 32 GTR was mine :) they're SAU vic stickers.. havnt joined QLD yet.. looking at it.

i just turned up to have a look as i havnt been to QR yet and looking at getting into some track days. I had a good chat with Greg though, i didnt see the owner of the white 33 in the hour and a half i was there. awell.

hopefully meet some of you at things down the track

They reprinted all the session time sheets at the end of the day and i was on the new sheets they printed out.

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • 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.
