thats unusual cause when i was reading my local messenger, they had an article on the nats which stated that its a good ahead despite the drama's they are currently dealing with. could be a publicity stunt simply to keep enthusiast happy and themselves out of hot water.

the following ANDRA sanctioned drag racing events have been deferred until new dates are set.Four, Six and Rotary Nationals - February 25th& 26th Super Charged Outlaws /Pro Stock /Pro Bike - March 18th

It was on Feb 25&26, it is now postponned indefinately, as is the Supercharged outlaws..

Unfortunately I've been looking for these improvements ever since I knew there is a drag strip in SA :( It doesn't look like there will be any more legal offstreet drag racing for the rest of this year :(

I think I will take the new job offer.........Willowbank here I come :P

Check out the weather atm

The police could not be too happy about adelaides only legal drag strip being out of action for too long. You would think they/government might be able to contribute to get the place operational considering alot of young hoons would now be doing it on the roads!!!!! (where else are they going to go). I beleive it would greatly reduce the amount of street racing in the long term.

Perhaps another way the gov can save lives on roads (besides buying another speed camera! -hehehehe) would be too build a couple of drag strips that are open to the public at very little cost. That way people could race in a controlled environment that is relatively safe and would keep them from doing it on the streets - as often. May be a little expensive at first to set up but then again in tradeoff how much is a life(s) worth? Surely it wouldnt cost too much to maintain a strip of road and a couple of safety marshalls -- charge 5 -10 bucks a run recover some of the costs.

So you'd leave the state just because the drag racing track timing system is being upgraded?!?!?

Freebaggin, nah it's just the last straw on the descision scale.

Better work prospectus, better weather and drag racing 2x per week all year round. I have not given my definite answer yet but I am tipping QLD for now.

I am going to miss some great friends and people in SA. Hope to see you guys at the Jamboree and Indy.

9krpm, QLD and Gold Coast absolutely rocks. I would highly recommend the re-location. Have spent a few years there myself and loved it.

I wish I hadn't asked, full of rednecks, dills and yobbos from what I've seen.

    • 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.
