Firstly, it was great to meet the hard core vic guys, well done with making the trip up to NSW, its a long drive, but you did get to drive on a great track, and it was by far one of the best L2S's we have had this year. And by far the fastest and best turn out of Skyline mussel I have seen, you don’t get to see this many 300+ KW track GTR’s humming around every day.

We were lucky enough to get a nice warm but not too hot day. The rain stayed away except for a light spray at 4pm.

The garage I was in had 6 nice fast GTR's in it, this is the first time I have actually seen All GTR's without a GTS in sight. I think where was 10 GTR's on the day. 2 x R34's and about 5 x R33's and I think 3 x R32's.

The Vic boys had 3 GTR's all set up very nicely all with top suspension, great brakes and around 350kw at the wheels. The white R34 dropped a 1.45 and then 2 of the R33's did 1.47's. I came in 1 sec behind them at 1.48, and then the rest were all only a sec or two behind me. The Vic GTR's ruled the day. John held up the NSW banner by pushing the boat around at 1.43 which was his PB.

I would like to thank everyone for making it the best L2S day of the year. We only had one car in the CAR's group drop his load down the straight but once it was cleaned we had a great day.

I cant wait for the Vic trip next year, Im really keen to taste a few of those vic tracks.

See you all soon.

Was good to meet you and the rest of the NSW crew that came down Paul. Hopefully next time I'll have my car there rather than driving everyone elses.

If you come down for the Nationals we'll see what else we can set-up but like EC - PI is a track you'll need a day or 2 at to get your head around. So it might be better to come down for a PIARC weekend or something which runs 2 days in a row (Sat non-timed practise just like that EC day then Sunday is a full Sprint Day).

Winton is open most Fridays as well and is a tops little track.

Just remember you'll either need semi's or a cage down here though.

I'd be in for sure

Specially if led by the head of team track day ie Paul!!!

I will take that as a vote of confidence, I will be involved in making it happen, so hopefully it will be something worth going to!

SAU VIC pilgrimage here we come!

I had an ace time at EC - was actually concentrating on my driving rather than just f*cking about in the car (except when going past the cheer squad - go AYC, go!). FYI...

Car Make and Model: Evo 8 MR

Circuit Name: Eastern Creek

Lap time: 1:58:74

Modifications: None - still has 180km/h limiter

Suspension: OEM Bilsteins

Tyres: shagged Bridgestone RE 01 streets

Brakes: squeeky and in need of some TLC, but stock

Body weight: I didn't have breakfast, but couldn't be bothered taking the spare tyre out

    • 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.
    • 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.
