You have to be an absolute tool to bump someone and vice versa. The day is pretty much everyone at their own pace and the fast cars seperated from the slower ones. People are pretty much told to move over for faster cars. All the track days I've been to I've never seen an incedent where cars collide, only close ones.

Bonkers, I've been sending you emails all along about extinguishers and the like.

I don't think that's ok yogi. The easiest way I think is to get a strip of aluminium from the hardware store, two holes, one at either end then bolt it to the same holes that your front seat mounts are using. So under your legs.

Then the bracket of the extinguisher bolts to that strip.

I've never seen an accident either. Also we kick the idiots off the track so as not to endanger you.

the only extinguisher in the small size worth buying is made by BFI. it's 1kg empty, 2 kg full. all extinguishers to be used in a cams event need to be metal, at least 1kg and mounted with a metal bracket. the usual torpedo shape ones people use have a fire rating of 5, the BFI ones rating is 20 so it will put out 4 times as much fire. i've shot off a few types and some of them are pathetic, the BFI one is good shit. so my advice is pay a little more and get one that will really save you or your car if needed.

my extinguisher is in the passenger side, near the end of the foot area on the door side, if that makes sense!!

fitted it in a few mins, bought it auto 1 a while ago

:)

i wont be racing, however ill try and make it down, if i do ill volunteer to be a flag marshall, however i wont know till a few days before

cheers,

chris

I just had a set of 2nd hand GT3 porche cup slicks fitted to my spare set of GTR rims, although they are suppose to be 240's they only just fit on the 9' rims. Lets see if they last a little longer then the last set of yoka's I had!

Cheater! Double cheater!

eek.. the one I have is mounted with a strong, quick release style plastic bracket.. It's definitely not going anywhere in a hurry, but is easily removed. Is this going to be ok or is it STRICTLY a metal bracket?

The plastic bracket ones should be OK but next time (!) get a metal bracket it is a problem with some scruitineers.

For those worried about making a hole in the carpet, feel free to check out the Zed's passenger floor....you will never spot where the extinguisher used to be :whistling:

i think we may have gone a little OT here. i havent seen the regs for this event (or even if it has any) so i dont think any extinguisher is required. is it? BUT to answer the question, in nsw super sprint series run under CAMS approval the bracket must be metal, and the extinguisher mounted within reach of the driver. it must also be a minimum 1kg dry powder type. the plastic ones will not pass. neither will ones out of date. neither will the ones under 1kg. but like i said i dont think any is required for this?

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
