Possible (Probable) "OFFICIAL" Skylines Australia - NSW Club Events, and Ideas.


Recommended Posts

Hello All,

Well by now a lot of you know that I have been selected to be the SAU Official events coordinator. I had hoped to have had some "Official" events announced and running by now but untill we get Cams affiliation it is just not worth the risk.

The reason the club needs Cams affiliation is simple really, they cover events held by SAU for Public liability insurance. This is required for any event that we hold as a "Club", Track Days, Skid Pan days, Cruises, and even BBQ's etc.

Some more major events that are already on their way are a Show and Shine day being planned for the long weekend in October and planning for that is well under way.

A Car Rally was being planned for the end of May but is now going to be at another date as Cams won't be meeting untill the end of may and will hopefully give us our affiliation then.

Other events that have been suggested:

Hill Climbs

BBQ's

Track Days

Skid Pans

Cruises

Information events

Driver Training

Group days at racing events

etc

Some of these events as mentioned before are already being planned. Some are still being looked into. If people know of events that they have done and would like to do as a club then please put the ideas in this thread... If you want to help out organising an "Official" SAU Event than please put your hand up. Or if you want to be on a list of those that are available to volunteer their time to cooking a BBQ, or giving out club info at a stall set up at another event than again please post up you interest here... everybodies help is greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions please feel free to PM me and I'll answer them to the best of my knowledge or endevour to find out what you are after.

Cheers all and thank you all for being so patient,

Dan.

Dan, as a social club we should venture into non car related activities. so, I second what Ben said. More mud wrestling events please. Now I know Ben wants to be a part of the actual wrestling but I was thinking more along the lines of getting our better halves to do it. Muahahah, won't that be fun:uh-huh:

or, we can pay some phoar looking chicks like sophie monk and natalie imbruglia. i don't know, tell em it's for charity for God's sakes. they'll go for that.

ignore my early morning ramblings. take note of the first sentance though

All of the above please dan. :P

All these events are fantastic, I know what what ever we do as a group from gold to mud wrestling would be fantastic.

good work!

As for the car rally! I am SOOOOO their when it all comes together with cams etc.

I used to organise lan nights.. big effort to get them going, had a few big ones.. 80 computers in a room is a weird sight, had a quake 2 game so big you had to wait to respawn.

tosh, cant you just lend him your pr0n dvd set? I know that all 45 dvds took you a while to download, but I am sure franky will look after them.

I propose an "Engine rebuild weekend" .

Y'all come round to mine, and take the farqued donk out - rebuild the farquer to bullet proof.

Then run boost her up to 26 PSI and take her down to EC drags, and see what breaks next !

he he he:D

    • 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.
