Jeez I'm so exhausted from all this driving......yeah hardly anyone there, only person there was a guy in his freshly built mx5. He didn't stay long as he had car trouble and left after an hour. The longer I stay, the more addictive it becomes, didn't really want to leave but then this truck turned up....seriously, did the half track in 56 seconds.....best I managed was around 57-58.

Wish had more of you weaksauces out there today but still fun......

Gotta say it was agreat day, yes alittle hot but we got so much track time that it didn't matter.

I did 200km's at the track and at the end of the day a porsche turned up for a few hot laps, i followed him around the track and he wasn't much faster then me and he was doing 1:25's so i estimate i was doing 1:26's!!!

We did get interupted by a sports sedan that did 3 laps and poured oil alover the track!!! thought our day was done but it dried up abit and before long we were getting stuck into it again. Hairy moment for Adam though, i'll let him tell you about that one. But a really good day, ohh and the corsair challenge!!! how funny was that...

Thanks for all the good times this yr people, being my first yr with SAU and my first yr on a track its been great, i don't think i'll be to anymore days this yr, going to give the ol' girl a rest and give her a freshen up. So i'll see you all soon somewhere around and until next yr track whores have a good one!!!

Ando my boy if you read this mate the heat is on!!! starting to really get to know how to drive my car so i'm only going to get faster... BEWARE!!!

Adam, Paul thanks for all the advice over the track days, it makes it that much better when people are willing to help you whenever you need it. Ohh and Paul my shout next one hey...

Wayne, Phil and Steve nice to meet you hopefully see you at some more track days.

And Peno, that thing is fast for a boat!!!

Always a fun time on the track with SAU members and tidy Skylines.

Plenty of track time on a clean surface with perfect weather,

can't ask for more. Except for getting rid of overboost,

as 25psi @ 5000rpm was a little too high for the boat.

Looking forward to the next track day. :mellow:

there isnt no one day cams passes at oran park hey?.. was thinkin mite show up tomo?

edit: if there is one that is

lol could we get so more dates for the near future!!!

I think Mal Rose is running his V8 supercars there tomorrow, they were dropping them off today and we thought he was there to run but the bloke at OP said he was just dropping them off for tomorrow, but check before taking my word for it.

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
