Wooow, sounds like a big event. It's time for me to get in....before I expire...hehehehe. I AM IN. Will be my first track day and also my first even with SAU (only took 2 years..heheheh) Car is ready....day is perfect.

Excuse the silly questions...do you need a helmet? (never understood this helmet business, hate motorbikes). I hope I will have my CAMS license by than. A second question, do you need different tires or you can run on the road ones? 3rd Can you remove silencer from the muffler? (Mavrick wanna BUZZ the tower)

Well see you guys there....I'll take "1HYPE1" with me....heheheheeh

1. yep you'll need a helmet, motorbike helmets are mostly used and need to be Australia Approved.

2. you can run street tyres, alot of people do, or if u can afford it u can put on some semis for the day.

3. not too sure about the rules for that, havent been to a circuit track day but with the helmet its pretty much consistant with all the other types of track days

Purchase. They can get as cheap as $100 I think, maybe even $80.

Check this thread for SAU club member discount on helmets. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=119575

Cheers Adam. I thought it was going to cost me an arm and a leg but around the $100 seems very reasonable... and much better than wearing a grubby hire helmet.

Well I better get organized...I think if I could afford my car...helmet will be no problem. I hope they do not ask also for a harley..hehehhe

Adam...just wondering that yelow-black 180 or 200 SX whatever was (Ben I think was his name) did had any exhaust system of the drift day? To me sounded pretty loose....

Cheers,

EUG.

That was James, I think he had a straight through pipe. The point is that the exhaust has to exit outside the car. You can't just dump it out somewhere half way along the length of the car.

Also I guess cos he was an organiser he got away with it a bit.

Mate,

Silencer in screwed at exit. You pull one bolt and BINGO....all exhaust is there...becomes..straight. I thought you know all this by now.....sorry.... My exhaust is BLITZ 3" all the way. Cat is there, just unleash few horses.

    • 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.
