Tosh,

Thanks to yourself and Powerplay once again, it was a great day all round. It was also nice to meet all the fellow enthusiasts at the track, mine was the little red S15 silvia(700). I had fun chasing the racing Skylines while trying not to get too close to those flames... :happy:

Cheers

Patrick

it was an awesome day, James (nfi) and i were having great fun beating the skylines (hey Liz that was us) in our group with our dead stock nankang-clad mx-5 :(:) :)

Had a good chat to a few others too, Patrick--nfi is james and i am his friend Arup good to see u on here too :)

hey!!!! i didn't recognise you, should have come and said g'day!!!!

I swear you guys must have gotten cranky at me overtakingy ou then sliding off the track every 5 seconds!!! After I overtook you guys very late on the straight.. turn 2 got quite exciting for a second there! hahaa.

nice pics E_Lu-SHuN, especially love the one where I'm heading for the dirt.... that's how it's done boys!

can't wait to get the new clutch in and hit the track again on sunday!

Hi guys & gals,

Terry (Bathurst R32 GTR) and Rod (Gibson R31) phoned this morning to say a special thank you. They really enjoyed meeting everybody and had a great day.

Terry promised he will buy new tyres before the next track day, he has been putting it off because the GTR hardly ever goes out on the track.

So with new tyres fitted expect to see the GTR running at full pace at the next track day :P

Oh, and Rod has informed me he is bringing his passenger seat to throw me into :D

Cheers

Jo

Hey Arup,

Yes I have been lurking here for a while now, I had lots of fun trying to get into the 11's on the day I think a set of semi-slicks is the go but maybe I can find .23 of a second somewhere... :D

Good to see you guys go back on the track in the afternoon after you were looking at leaving early... :D

Cheers

Patrick

A few extra pounds of boost on the main straight or a NISMO LSD perhaps? ;)

I saw you and recongnised you but every time i was around u were busy talking to others..ill c u at skidpan day again..

it was me driving when u were coming off all the time (must have been the pressure to keep up was it not? :) )

i wasnt annoyed at all, in fact it was sort of satisfying seeing an r33 not keeping up, as i drive an r33 normally..

haha i remember the late overtaking on the straight, i though id let you through since i was planning on catching you in the corners later anyway, it felt like a proper race at that point haha, although i was slightly worried that you would come off the track badly halfway through the manouver and take me out lol!

its a shame you couldnt get into the 11s but i guess it will just make it more fun for next time!

you were the one who really convinced us to stuff leaving then for work and go back on the track, the last session finished the day off well since we were standing around waiting for ages before that! thanks for convincing us and helping quickly dump all the stuff we had packed back onto the floor :)

sounds like you guys had an awesome day.

Ive just started a new job - so going to be a bit hard to get time off for up coming trackies.

dammit!!

Great photos!!!!

:laugh:

Looks like everyone had a great time.

Wish I could have made it but a little hard to thrash a zed without a motor.

Thanks Tosh for the invite and I'll do my best to make the next track day. ;)

thanks nfi (ps i have nfi where your post went, looks like someone deleted it!)

the mx5 looked like a heap of fun, so many people underestimate them coz they look so girly! lol

I think if I had spent a little more time behind Kennedy I would have been able to creep my way a little bit closer to your 1.18 as he's an excellent driver!

Can't wait to see the s15 out there!

    • 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.
