Thanks Duncan,

Been here a while though....just in the Stagea area hiding...lol....finding out about the world of the M35 Stagea....big learning curve!!!

Love to bring the R31 out to a track day but to expensive.....we only really use it for racing and maybe a test day every now and again to bed in new bit's or test/sort out something...if the timing's right though we might be able to make one of your track days and use it as a bit of a test session.

Would bring the M35 ARX but it might end up on the roof....bloody fat cow it is....and the brakes are next to useless...lol.

1.20 wakefield absolutely pouring rain and first time

I can vouch for that - it was pouring rain and cold on Saturday. I got a 1:16.4, but I'm not telling you what I was driving for fear of ridicule on this forum! My Datto track car is in pieces thanks to a spark plug 'picking up' the thread when I tried to remove it... of all the stupid little things that can go wrong prepping a car for a track day! So I took my road car down there instead. I think I could have gone a little quicker in the later session if it wasn't for the bloke in a shitbox proton rally car cutting half the corners and dragging heaps of mud onto the track just after all those apexes...

sorry Chris, didn't even realise at the time that anyone I'd know was there, apart from Marty. I should have, I saw your username on that other forum, but it just didn't click. I think after the 1180km drive on Friday my brain wasn't really operating all that well on Saturday. And apart from the stopage for the crashed Evo when I went back into town, it was all happening pretty fast out there.

there was someone else from SAU out there, who I was talking to for a while but I wouldn't have a clue what his username is. He's been thinking about buying one too, but was worried about how they handle until he saw mine out there on Saturday...

Circuit Name: Wakefield

Lap time: 1:18.4 - damp/wet patches

Modifications

Engine: Front Mount / Exhaust

Power: approx 210kw (UAS dyno)

Suspension: front and rear strut bars otherwise standard

Tyres: RE55

First time at Wakie in the GTR and first time out with a proper lap-timer (Mychron). It was pissing down first thing today, drizzled til lunch and lightened off after lunch. Still a couple of wet patches and water running across the track just after Turn 8 (the fish-hook). Should be back in about 4 weeks for another go - hopefully a bit drier......

Mark - was there another GTR out there being driven by a bloke names Jase?

Another GTR (R32 Maroon) - sorry I forget the guy's name. He was there with some others who had an S15 and Golf GTI between them - looked like the Nissan guys were really enjoying coming out of Turn 10! :)

  evil_weevil said:
yeah the maroon GTR is my mate!

do you know what times he was doing?

sorry - not specifically. I spoke to one of the group who mentioned 1:15 but not sure which car he was referring to.

Update: 1:37.06 for Winton

Only change to previous setup is 2860-5's instead of single T04z.

Arch, you're flying - I can say it's a great set up. We are now officially mechanically even. Should be good head to head.

Regards

Andrew

Andrew

Yep heaps better than the single that's for sure.

Mechanically even you say..hmm there might still be a thing or two you've got up on me still but they're not biggies and I'll try to get em too in the not to distant future *cough* transfer case. But looking forward to the head to head and following you around PI.

Tis around tree fiddy

Ah ok - transfer case - a great mod. I have got one of those attessa controllers to put in after P.I., be interesting to see how the two mods interact.

All I have to do now is try and keep the engine temp under control for 4 flying laps - no mean feat this time of year.

Regards

Andrew

Hey Andrew - on a test day I did at Winton I took 1s off my lap time by giving the Attessa button a couple of clicks. Infact my pb's at all tracks except Calder (where I haven't used it) have been with at least SOME value of input from the Attessa controller. Even though at places like Sandown and Phillip Island it may have just been one or 2 clicks. And I have transfer case mod done as well. The 2 mods act differently in how they effect the cars characteristics.

Cool, I've been umming and arring about one of those for 12 months and ended up grabbing the very last one that Duncan had.

Just got to gather up the courage to rip my virgin dash trim apart and cut and join a few wires.

Cheers

cmon get the drill out, you'll love it. nissan agreed and added more and more front torque throughout the different attessa version, in fact Andrew's R34 runs about the most stock. It's a shame Mark isn't making them any more, they've raced in Japan, won a couple of dutton rallies, done targa etc etc.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 馃檪 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
