Ok, I have noticed a little bit of interest in track days of late so I just thought I would let everyone know that on the 1st of July I will be heading down to QR with a few other people for the Saturday Afternoon Sprints at QR. This is the perfect time of year for all those who are scared of hurting their cars, it won't get any cooler out at Ipswich. Its a great afternoon out, and you get to give you and your car a real workout without breaking the law. As long as your car is in good mechanical order you will have a ball, you don't need a track dedicated machine to enjoy the day. Hell my car would be flat out pushing 160rwkw! :P

Hope to see some new faces out there!

well, my brakes are on (i've still gotta get them sorted though... rears are locking up with more than about 1/2 pedal pressure) and i've got the thurs/friday off before then as well, so i'll hopefully be able to do a service, including new diff and gearbox oil :whistling:

in other words, i am trying to make it out to this one!

Woah, I just realised the schedule I have just given myself, QR track days on the 1st and 4th, and Skidpan/LVMA day on the 8th!!! Oh well, gotta make the most of the cooler weather. :laugh:

All info can be found here:- http://www.queenslandraceway.com.au/

You will need the usual wrist to ankle clothing, helmut (can be hired there), AASA licence (can get on the day, $55 annual fee) and a roadworthy car of course. The cost is $95 or if you prepay its $75.

Hope to see you all there!

Thats the link to how it all works for anyone who doesnt know (like I did :spank: ) Seems a good format.

Not a hope getting to this one, but Id hope by the next round I should be well and truly ready to take on the track. Both skills and car.

Just picked up my freshly re-built Nismo single plate clutch. . . . .gets fitted on Tuesday, just in time >_<

I have been out there before when they have the motorkana in the carpark, its good. Gives you something to watch between runs. :ermm:

we should be out there with the 33 race car. Assuming we get the custom swaybar intime. It will be good to see more skylines out there, besides the usual 2 or 3, and million wrxs.

Heres a crappy photo of our car...if you see us come have a chat. Dont ask about the stickers...my old man chose them.

We need more skylines in the sprints and top gear racing...need to overpopulate everything >_<

I wish we could say that....but they seem to have this amazing ability to rattle off extremely good times....drives you insane. You do a 59 round the sprint circuit and then they come round and go yeh...had abit of a tough one but i managed a 56....then your jaw hits the ground....shit >_< 3 seconds faster....well we got a suprise for them now hehe.

*sigh* i just want to get everything done before i head out next weekend, i doubt i will though!

so far my list is:

Get another wheel nut... i'm missing 1

New Engine Oil (Undecided what to use yet)

New Oil Filter (Ryco)

New Spark Plugs (NGK Coppers)

Clean Air Filter

New Gearbox Oil (Redline)

New Diff Oil (Redline)

Flush/Bleed Brake Fluid (RBF600)

Fix Brake Problem (THIS ONE IS A BIG MUST!!!!!)

Fit new Steering Rack Ends

Get Wheel Alignment / Get suspension check to make sure all in good order

Fit New Swaybar Link Pin Bushes

Get Tyres/Rims

Make Exhaust (90 degree bend that dumps before the cat :ermm: )

Dyno Tune to check mixtures

Try and get Knock Detector to listen to while racing

Smaller Battery? (shave some more weight off)

Fit Oil Catch Can

Does anyone want to help me? >_<

    • 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.
