Are there spaces left? What's the go if two people want to share one car? Does Mr. McGill frown upon this? I take it you also don't have any problem with non-'lines carving up the concrete? :P

EDIT: Damn, I see I'm now on the second page, and it seems to be full. Anyway, if I'm wrong, please let me know!

hey all i am pretty new to these forums and to import ownership in general.

How would i go about getting in to just watch and maybe meet a few of you guys in person?

I am interested in getting together with other people who own skylines and this seems like a good opportunity.

The buick dorifts?

Sure, don't see why it wouldn't. It's RWD, has a stack of power, and a nice tight limmie - why not? ;) It'd be a real challenge to keep on track though, when 2 tonnes breaks traction, it tends to want to go its own way. I've tested it. :)

4 tonnes of Detroit steel floating on marshmallow suspension and cross plys...you don't expect it to handle do you?? :P

Hehe Dino, it's a more conservative 2 tonnes (as above), and it runs radials now - but still, NO. :D:)

As much as I'd love to try the Riv out on the 'pan, it may not be avialable at that time - hopefully it'll be in getting treated to a full respray, and other resto work. I was intending to bring Daddy's BMW.

Anyway, see you all there as a spectator, I imagine. :)

Thanx for the pm pete, havn't been online for while. The Teins are up to the challenge, and the tyres are bald with the belts comin thru big time (your specifications pete?):P Just hope the clutch holds up till then.

Despite the the objections of a few ppl, i think the skid pan is a great place to learn to drift and learn car control. Hell of a lot safer than on the streets, way too many close calls lately.:eek:

Hi Peter,

Finally I have confirmation from Eastern Creek on the April 6th day for you,

the day is on!

I have attached a booking form that ALL drivers MUST fill out & return to

our office or they will not get a start.

No need to fill in the credit card area as I believe you have taken

depsoits?

We will require 50% deposit for all drivers ASAP as Eastern Creek require

full payment prior to confirming booking. I have done this to secure your

date.

I will have 1 instructor on hand to assist with the control and safety

during the program.

We shall begin at 9.00a.m SHARP and conclude as per Eastern Creeks booking

rules at 5.00p.m.

I'm sure your guys are looking forward to a fun day and that is what this

venue delivers, believe me!

Cheers for now

Aaron M

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
