Nice racing guys... that 323 was good entertainment as well.. pity about the VL... although i think that trying to keep up with the GTRs on the track was a big ask...I heard the driver saying that he was doing 200(kms/hr) then something went "pop"... understatement or w00t!! That "pop" pretty much finished the day... Well done peeps and of course, well done John!! Nice to see the 33GTR own all the 32s!!! hahaha!

Yep, they'll be hosted online soon (like our website? www.gunnamotorsport.com hehehe), so once they are, i'll post the link.

You can email him on [email protected] though :P

edit:- Duncan, you've got a PM.

Drunkan,

What time did you arrive. I was there for the first 3 sessions and then had to shoot home for some "Family Time".

I had a good day, it took 3 sessions before I settles in.

John well done a good day, perhaps next time we could have less admin time and more track time. Aim to have the cars on the track by 9am. I dont think we started until almost 11?

It was an awesome day - great fun and lots of entertainment.

What happened to your car 88silhouette? :rofl:  I was going to get some good photos to make up for the last time, but after the first lap you disappered.  I did get one shot though, which i'll email to you tomorrow... :)

afm plug was loose

when i left pit lane i shifted into 2nd gear and this made the freakin olug wiggle a bit

anyway just gonna solder the thing this week

shame i didnt see the holden on fire

Now that was a fun day,,, Thanks John. Top feeling not having to be towed back to the pits!!!!!!!. Now all I need is another track day soon just to finish off running it in.

Watch out all you quick guys this Rotors got shit-loads of grunt.

Kel great to actually see your GTR doing laps,,,it put a smile on my face.

Enjoy your week people I know I will,,,I'm still grinning.

Neil.

yeah plastic rear window due to over enthusiastic lightening procedures last night, we will probably return to glass window in future :uhh:

I actually think the plastic version worked quite well. it kept the outside outside and the inside inside. what more could you want. are you some kind of pedant? next you will need tyres on your wheels and all kind of crazy shit like that.

Kel, I dunno how you put up with it.

BTW, what about the large (understatement) 4WD that as Kel (or maybe it was Duncan) put it has been owned by the internet. hahah BI/GHEY...priceless.

Yep took a bit longer due to the last minute changes we had to do a sign on forms with Cams. There will be Professional photos link on our site very soon and there will be actions of yesterday on our DVD released in August.

Yes on handicap GTR Jason beat met I did 49.19 with slicks and Jason did a 50.66 on street tyres. He cheated though as had front diff still going, he he. Very cold day and traction was a big prob for the boat and yes I nearly clipped that Drive On Milk sign a few times. Best viewing area of future reference is southern end coming onto the straight.

I had new twin brake master set up which we had not tried on track and peddle was way too hard and could not pull it up at end of straight and had to brake way early. Actually went off the end twice. I could not lock the brakes no matter how hard I pushed and thought I was going to break the seat. I will be getting smaller master cylinders and testing and should be much better. Yes Jason or any other candidates next UAS track day at Oran South Sunday 25 September. Have your go.

Unfortunately Blair the pro video guy came late and missed me rounding up a stack of GTR's on the straight in the first session. Made my day thanks Paul you assisted this twice. Not good lots of cars did not see the day out MR2 did a gear box again and we quickly ran out of enough GTR's to play with. Zed powers on again.

bah! where is the time sheets man! Zed looked ok, but it's still not a GTR John, no matter how many GTR parts you have put on. I say give up the ghost mate, get a GTR under the UAS banner. I heard Jason wasn't even trying for that 50.66 the word is he kept grabbing at the thermos in his cup holder and sipping his latte all through the back section of the circuit...

good to see some GTR owners not afraid to get out there too. don't see that very often.

We are working with time keeper to get it all sorted and in correct classes of cars and will handicaps etc and a few cars not on the site. Should be all done tomorrow.

As a new club member and and my first time on a track i still have a grin from ear to ear. I would like to congratulate John and his team for organising such a top event. It was scary when i found out that i would be out with race cars but having some great tips from some of those instructers that were provided and my confidence growing iam hooked. Cant wait for the next one.

Sorry Nero,,,it looks like I edited your thread,,,I'm a dumb mod sometimes and hit the wrong button. What I was actually going to say is next time come down and say hello. Kel, Duncan and I are almost always at track days and we are a friendly bunch and can answer all your questions. It's not hard to pick us,,,,Yellow GTR,,,Black 350Z,,,White GTS-T with GTT wheels and my multi coloured Capri.

Glad you enjoyed the day buddy.

Neil.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
