I haven't seen any interest or notices about this one yet. last year we had a good showing, i can't remember but i think there were about 8 or so skylines and 2 stageas. This year I propose we get more people to come, and make sure the organisers of the event know we're coming so as to get a good spot in the park. start listing your names down if you're interested or want to come.

History

Marques in the Park is the Council of ACT Motor Clubs spring time motoring event hosted by the Canberra Region Morris Minor Club. Each November, hundreds of vehicle enthusaists join a post-breakfast cruise to John Knight Memorial Park to enjoy at day in the shade on the shores of Lake Ginninderra in Belconnen.

During its first three years, this great event has continued to grow from 150 vehicles in 2003, 250 vehicles in 2004 to over 500 during 2005. All vehicle enthusiasts and vehicle types are invited to participate in an event well supported local motoring clubs.

just a question, for us to enter as a club under SAU, do we need to get permission or something for this to happen, or should we just say we're the ACT skylines club? i know some of us aren't full paying members and that makes events like this a bit harder. has anyone organised an event under SAU before in the ACT?

nah, you don't need permission... we're still a part of SAU even if you arent paid up to one of the official clubs i don't see any problems with entering as SAU-ACT.

i'd be in if my car was up to show standards.. but i might come and say gday. I might be there as part of the FPV entourage but i'll come hang out with you guys when i get sick of Fords and wanna see some real cars :D

Don't let that put you off. A lot of the cars there definetly aren't up to show standards. The front of mine is riddled with stonechips and I still put it in last year, and it got a good reaction too ;)

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • 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.
