lol doesnt hurt taking 5 minutes of your time to fill it out .. not even 5 minutes make that 2 ahahaha

This is true and the right attitude to have! If you dont get involved and show the governement and corporation what you the people in SA want how the hell are they ever going to know? :thumbsup:

^^^ Exactly. Its been poorly managed and funded for a long time. Let it die. Let it be bought by some body/corporation with more brains and management qualities.

With petitions out there like this and get as many people to sign as possible and advertise it to the public, media, corporations and government they are more inclinded to do something about it cause the public are saying they want it so there is a market...

"Great way to get the hoons off the street"

I only posted in this thread cause it's relavant :) The petition could be send to the boss of Calder Park? Might hurry them up...you never know unless you try!

bahhh drag racing is just like farting in the bath .............once the noise has gone ya just left with the smell lol #95 too sign just too make ya's happy

Edited by mid life crisis

Should try and post the petiton link in other car club webpages :( I have posted on fullboost and started to email the drag racing associations in SA.

Put the link in your signature

Need thousands of signatures to make an impact and if you all do a little part by telling a friend, posting it on another forum. It can happen!

I wrote to AMC the new owners of AIR and asked what and why and when will things be back up and running!! This is his reply :ermm:

P.s AMC also own Winton,Wakefield,Calder Park and Queensland Race way..Bob Jane is just a contributor now

Hi Jessica

Reconstruction and upgrading works are in progress and are expected to continue thru to mid to late December.

We are anticipating a return to both legal off street drag racing as well as open bracket racing.

As we get closer all event information will be on the Adelaide International Raceway website

Kind regards,

Bryan J Nokes

Chief Executive Officer

Australian Motorsports Club Ltd

:wave: Jesss, however I hate to say it - but same shit different day.

Although they have been claiming late december for 6+ months now (I've called Paul the track manager a few times over the last 6 months), so MAYBE they actually might make the date.... :ermm:

I wanted to hear it straight from the horses mouth so I asked :ermm:

I dont want to give up hope that there will be AIR or a different drag facility up and running in the near future..Its been going on for far to long and atleast I am willing to try and do something about it..

Every state needs motorsport facility drag and circuit!!

what blows me away are all these new threads from wannabes informing us about what we should do and how we should either petition or harrass MP's & councils etc, yet they don't do anything themselves to get the ball rolling so we can either jump on the bandwagon or follow suit.........just alot of hot air dribble and a thread for thread's sake!

Here we have a female living in another state that's more concerned about the motorsport scene in SA than we are........aforementioned post for an example.

Well done Jess & keep up the good work

Pete, me and a few street machine mates and biker mates had been pushing to get AIR open again soon ... for quite a while now.

We're always met with "we've done all we can do"

But I know what you mean.

:)

Pete - I agree there is a fair bit of "hot air" puffed around, its been posted many times on here, ns.com etc. about online petitions and "ive signed it" - yet how many got off their Lazy Asses and went to the Pt Adelaide Complex rally back in January? probably about 5-10% if we were lucky I reckon. There were the usual excuses posted the next day, "i forgot, it was too hot - i was still hungover".

When I was down there, I could almost see so many old-school guys who wouldn't generally go near a computer, and plenty of old school cars, but very few imports.

Your right - it's a sad state.

I just hoped that 1 more (me) harassing AIR track manager would do something in the mean time if the Pt Adelaide complex (which I would much prefer) doesnt get up and running

    • @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.
    • 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.
