there isn't any timing anyway... and hand timing doesn't count (according to me.. unless i set a pb, then it counts)

Im aware of that but when your trying to push a car around there well into the 1:07 bracket slower cars can be pretty dangerous when they dont move off the racing line.

My question was more of a general question to see what sort of vehicles and experiance levels we have attending. Im asuming we will be divided into sessions by claimed lap tips and experiance though.

If everything still works I should be doing sub 10s.

Will be really good to get on a circuit with you Andrew. been a very long time!

2 questions for people..

From what I can see, I need a helmet and EITHER a L2S License or a Wakefield Yearly license.. For both of us..

Is it too late to get an L2S one? or should I just get a 2 x Wakefield, 1 for me and my brother...

Also - I need a helmet, i'm going to borrow one off my brother, what standards does it need to meet, also does anyone have a spare one for my brother to borrow on the day???

I'll post this up next week as well..

Cheers

heyyo.. definately not too late to get an ls2 licence!!! Send your forum off... and if you don't have your passbook by say the 5th.. call up the CAMS state office and have them fax you a temporary licence!

they've been very helpful in the past when i haven't had my licence in time, and i know they've bent over backwards for some of the others! You'll be right.

ps.. I'm in the same boat..my licence expired last month and I haven't been arsed to apply for a new one.

cool. I wasn't refering to your question at all.

but yes, you will be grouped into people the same speed as you. If there is a slower car on the circuit, it's YOUR responsibility to maneuver around them... of course the slower cars should (SHOULD) wave you past.. but really, it's up to you to get around them.

I totally know that feeling

As Liz mentioned, the groups will be organised by expected lap times.

Also, cars are not required to move off the racing line. There is overtaking allowed on the two straights or the slower car can wave you past. If I see anyone diving in under brakes on a corner there will be an instant end to their day.

All this will be covered in the drivers briefing on the day anyway.

Err.. even if you are a first timer Adam?

Answer will be yes. When you see what he is saying you will understand why. This will be my frist day too and if i tryed to overtake you under brakes and didnt stop may F*(K up both our cars and theres no happy endings from there.

This is likely a typical newbie question but I have to ask. Are there refuelling facilities at the track? Never having been to a track day before I have no idea. I'm assuming yes for now because we'll all need some fuel to get home!

Also, if the answer is yes, what fuels do they have?

Thanks!

There is a Shell in town (10 min drive) that has V-Power. Didn't have vpowerdelux last time I checked.

Here is a mapp showing the nearest vpowerdelux:

And here is one showing the vpower:

The racetrack is down Braidwood road.

and for those ultimate lovers, there is a bp just before the first goulburn exit... its the one i use.. i fill up there on my way in, and again on my way out! one tank usually lasts me out there!

Cool, thanks guys. Now off to do some more helmet shopping!

Last year I organised a club discount at Sydney City Motorcycles at Lane cove. If Andrew Cura still works there have a chat to him about a helmet, and he will do a discount for ya. See, arent we good to our members here at SAUNSW? :P

Info: Click Here

Note this offer is to SAU NSW members only, and you'll be asked to present your card to qualify for the discount.

Cheers.

you sure it still applys? cause we were both there yesterday to buy some helmets.. quoted the account number and everything, and got 0 discount... we left at that point! Do we need speak to Andrew to be receive the discount?

    • @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.
