It would be a fairly cheap trackday, won't chew up any tyres or brakes and prob only use half as much fuel.

its just so wet i dont know how they can have a good run.this kind of weather would be good for things like targa and track training for wet weather conditions.

I think you'll find that most people heading out are the people who do want to learn a few things.. and with the guys from Ian Luff Motivation there to help you out, it'd be a killer day.

still too many people for me.

BTW, when I enquired through Ian Luff, the cost was $195.. not $220. Corinne, can you confirm what the difference is for?

What an interesting day!

had 4 sessions out there, 3 in the rain!

2 sessions were quite heavy and was getting a bit dicey out there.

Learnt alot more about car control, lines, etc in the wet, hopefully that can help me in the dry as its easier in the dry!

Had some fun from main straight into and out of turn 1 - some nice drifting

and also turns 2 and 3 were linked a few times!

1 time I had a bit too much pace and came off into the mud at around 110km which was fun! My window was down so theres mud everywhere in the car!

Unfort though there were two accidents.

:P

From here there was me, Corinne, Brad, Brendan turned up to spectate and who else? Sorry for forgetting!

Was a good day, some real good cars..

GTRs, evo's sti's, a ford GT40 replica, datto 1200 with CA18 which haulled arse!

Liz, there were 3 groups 6-8 in each - sometimes only 4

plenty of room and plenty of track :laugh:

you missed out!

Good day to learn how to drive!

Boz really helped me heaps especially in the wet. I lol'ed and freaked out when he pulled the handbrake up on me. Haha

Very very slippery out there and unfortunately we had a couple of mishaps but lets not talk of that.

All and all besides the weather it was a good day to learn how to control the car in such harsh conditions and you realise how easy it is for the car to slip out in the wet.

Cheers!

I havent cleaned my car yet!

shes filthy! ;)

I did yesterday, I had mud everywhere and there still is!

Took some of the paneling off yesterday and doing a detail this week sometime.

Very very slippery out there and unfortunately we had a couple of mishaps but lets not talk of that.

Boz is definately the master

Why not talk about the mishaps.. wouldn't it be better to all learn from the mistakes out ther rather than to keep it hush hush?

    • 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.
