Thats a bugger mate. Hopefully you will be ready in time for the next lot of races. In regards to the speed, our factory speedo goes off the clock for quite sometime haha, but at a guess id say it would be that maybe a tad higher. Also we use a high energy circuit sump and it works great with built in baffles, one way doors and gates and an extended pick up.

Friday Fine Min 16 Max 27

Saturday Shower or thunderstorm developing Min 17 Max 30

Sunday Possible late shower or thunderstorm Min 15 Max 27

Monday Fine Min 13 Max 25

Tuesday Fine Min 14 Max 26

Wednesday Fine Min 19 Max 24

Not sure on the weather forecast though, don't mind rain, don't want to be stuck out here with a possible severe storm. . .

WHOA HOW MUCH FUN IS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!1!!1!1!eleven

how my day went: first three laps i was stuck behind a turbo xr6 then i got past him and two conners later my engine just turned off. got towed back and investigated and realised the hose from the FMIC to the turbo and come undone somehow - put that back and i was back in the action! my first three lap times (read: the falcons first three lap times) were like 1:12s. then second session had some traffic again but was getting a bit more comfortable with the whole thing (really started having fun). was stuck behind a subie for a while and last lap had a clean lap chasing some awesome looking blue r32 gtr. got a 1:07 that lap! then session 3 had nice clean laps and got 1:07s and 1:06s!! :sick: had we even had enough time to go out for a forth session!! :laugh:

best lap of the day for my was 1:06.15 which i was quiet happy with - the car can do quite a bit better if the driver just improves :D like mom alway said "practice makes perfect" so ill be back for more for sure!!!

was impressed with the amount of skylines too!! there was like 3x 31's, 3x 32's, and 2 or 3 33's

haha well our oil pump failed(assumed so far) and killed the motor. Such a bad day, first our new wheel alignment farked 2k worth of slicks on the front, chewed them right down to the canvas. Then the turbo blew, so I raced out to morningside and got another one, we fitted that and everything was ok but then the oil pressure started to drop and along the back straight it died completely. The engine was shut off asap, but it has ceased. So out it all comes this week for a rebuild. Not good at all, and because of the dramas i didnt get a go in the car :sick: But my old man managed a flat 60 when the car was running half descent before it shat itself completely.

Sorry to hear that.

Heat was a big killer out there, being a NA RB30e i don't have much anyway but i could really feel it lacking, still managed to pull a 1:08.95 even with the LSD not working. New tyres really helped me.

My mate in his R31 GTS1 pulled a 1:07.69 and his old man in the stock R33 GTS-t S2 ran a 1:06.40.

I was out there yesterday to watch a mate (the blue ae86) - first time I've been to the sprints and I couldn't believe how hectic it is. Cars everywhere in the pits and almost always cars out on the track. Real variation of cars tho, so it was great to watch.

I can't go near QR without my camera gear, so I got a heap of photos while watching. I don't know which of the cars were SAU people, but here's some of the skylines:

I tried to get shots of every car, but if you were out there and can't find any of yours then PM me and I'll take a look.

I like his ae86! you have any pics of me cerb? im in the r32 KAB :(

here are few pics we got:

as for mods azzurra - not that much... have teins adjustable coil overs (which helps ALOT!!!), gtr fuel pump, 3" apexi exhuast, FMIC, 11psi boost... and some wets (semi slick wets)

im happy with my low 1:06 but not exstatic... i had two friends there... the one has a non turbo aussie starlet (http://www.users.on.net/~jezza323/SAS0610281/dscf1321.jpg) and he gets low 1:08's and my other friend in his civic (http://www.users.on.net/~jezza323/SAS0610281/dscf1331.jpg) got like a 1:02 (not sure about his best for the day)

Top marks for the pics.

Saturday Sprints are on my to-do list for next year but I plan to be there for a bit of spectating if there is another round before Christmas.

All I have to do is learn a bit (lot) of car control, and grow some goolies :laugh:

    • 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.
