How's that for a kick in the teeth as a surprise??

GTR700 and RH9 are racing at Heathcote this weekend!!!!

Dunno if they're racing on Sat or Sun but let's hope it's Sunday so we can see how the big boys do it!!

I'm hanging for this weekend more than ever. Let's just hope my car is ready to roll by then...

Leewah,

nothing's been mentioned on Mario's website and are u sure it's this weekend, it might be on the 21st for the 4,6 & Rotary shootout at heathcote.

btw, they were apparently having clutch issues on tuesday.

check it out.

Everything is ready to go - the BFG Drag Radials have been put onto the BBS alloys and they are now on the car. The car looks even better now. Cool. The new wider slicks have also been delivered and have been put onto their rims. We've also got another 2 barrels of ELF race fuel, and that was all we were waiting for, we are all set.

The new BBS is now online. As it is hosted inside the performanceforums.com BBS, you will be required to join it if you wish to post. As they are well moderated, we believe that is the best way to ensure that the moron content that plagued the previous test board doesn't return.

Hopefully the next update I post will be something for me to be proud of... This is not to say that everyone involved in this project shouldn't be, they've done more than was asked of them. Jim, Theo, Daniel, Simon, Matt, and Josh have all worked very late nights and harder than ever to ensure that the cars were ready on time for this weekend - even when issues came up that were not of their doing, they persevered and made it happen. I'm pretty sure that I even saw a bead of sweat on Jim's forehead (we need to check the video evidence to substantiate that, so it is un-official for now... :D

RH9: Well we are racing this weekend. RH9 stage 1 / 2 is now complete. Thank you once again to Jim, Daniel, Simon, Josh and Mat for their hard earned work which has now completed the next stage. I would also like to thank Russell Clarke from Heathcote Raceway for making this weekend possible for our test and tune. The last things to happen are bonnet restraints which will be done today and the sticker set up on the car which will also be done this morning.

Jim tuned RH9 last night to run NOS and lets just say that we made over 500kw's at all 4 wheels in 5th gear with 11,400nm of torque. This thing will be a ****'n handful to keep in a straight line. Watching RH9 come on boost is something that only a few of us saw in the flesh last night at about 11pm on the DYNO. Yes I have heaps of videos of the tunning and power runs. This weekend we are off to Heathcote to better our time of 10.81. Thanks to Andrej, the Hollinger gearbox is now well run in and just needs to be treated like a dirty bitch. The harder and rougher you are with it the better it will perform.

I am hoping the motor holds together, if it does I am sure we will make a few people envious. At this stage we are hoping for a 9.99 or better. If RH9 runs a 9 second pass my next update will be a great feeling to upload.

Thank you once again to the team at CRD. Fingers crossed we will be in the RH9 club by Monday morning.

considering the amount of good cars that will be there it will be imbarrising to run ours pred!

and i wanna see the good cars run 2!

there will ALWAYS be someone else who is QUICKER, BETTER, FASTER, BIGGER, HARDER etc... I dont think many of us plan to set a new land speed record on sunday - its for fun and those who havent run their car before will see what it / they can do also [like me]!

racing goes for like 5 hours in total, have a few runs then watch for a while, or the other way round :O

    • 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.
