I will be at nunawading maccas at 3:45 ok. Look for the guy in the wagon :)

Ill have to pick up a mate from resivoir on the way, but if there are only like 2-3 of us maybe you guys will come with, else, we'll split up on bell street.

See you there tomorrow everyone.

Dont worry about semi slicks at calder guys, I rekon there not necessary. I ran a 12.5 with a 1.8 second 60 ft on bald Dunlop SP8000e - granted they were 265s, but still its all comes down to the way you launch, you gotta remember the start line is grippy as f**k, big burnnout on st tyres gets em even grippier. Its not like the street at all, ive got mates who dont wanna take there cars down because they compare launchin it at the track to like launching off the lights - its not the case - trick is to keep the revs high so it gets onto boost fast, and as the lights stage on the yellow, keep ur clutch at the friction point jusssssssssssssst before it grabs, dont shit urself from a little wheelspin but if its excessive just knife the clutch slightly. Another method is handbrake, but i dont like it because it can upset traction. Done be shy thru the gears, no flatchanging, but sharp quick and precise, keep the shifts stictly to the redline, i see so many ppl shifting early. Also keeping the car cool right up to the line helps, when ur in pits getting ready for a run, engine off, bonnet up, get a couple of mate to push the car. It looks stupid but I helps so much.

Just some advice for those who havent raced, I really enjoy my drag racing, ive probably had close to 50 or more runs in all my cars thru the years.

Best advice though, dont distract yourself, just get out there and have fun.

I was going to put on the semis, but couldn't be arsed.

I'm running 255 Hankook Ventus Sport which hook up okay.

Previously I have run a 1.9 60ft so I hope I can repeat that.

I'm buying a hand water spray so I can cool the pipes after each run, and also cool the oil cooler and as well. Gonna look like a goon, but who cares. Temperature = bad!

Water spray is a great idea to take down there, make sure everythings cool. As for sprayin on the oil cooler - what for lol, ur pushing it hard for less than 14 seconds. I dont think there gonna be soaring.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
