so how did it go?

:thumbsup:

hahaha yeah that was an awesome day. My car was out of action, so MattR and I sat up in the commentary box doing stupid commentating and getting drunk :(

That is by far the best way to do it. Works out to under $100 per person, and you get to do shitloads of runs all day long. We ran out of cars to run and finished early even that day. And cars like Munro's race car and the GT S15 and R34 could come out for some test and tune. Only drawback on those organised type days is it is always only 1 lane - so you can't actually race other cars - which sucks ass, as that is half the fun IMHO.

I vote we organise an inter-club grudge match at a street meet when the track reopens - so we can challenge other cars and whip their asses. Especially the Evo guys who like to think their little Mitsi's are better than Skylines ROFL :wacko:

1 lane would suck very much, just like doing the tango my yourself :laughing-smiley-014:

and yes, dragging against other clubs would be more fun, LS1, evo.. ooo

heaps, its the clutches you go through if you launch properly ...

got myself a sexy nismo twin plate, so it should hold :thumbsup:

damn i hope its going to be happening, cant wait

Brad Fox from adelaide clutch services says the twins dont last that long they just hold more power but the actual ceramic on the clutch plates is alot thiner but theres 2 plates with more pressure thats why they hold more power

Xtreme's single's don't last all that long.. 30-40,000km's before I started to notice mine slipping.

It managed 60,000km's before it was completely stuffed and I don't give it a hard time at all. I don't ride it and treat it the way a ceramic should.

Bl4ck32's OS Giken twin had as much usable meat as my xtreme 9 puk. Maybe the aussy brand twins are not all that crash hot in the longevity department?

hahahah lol - in my S15 I did 85,000km before I sold it - the stock clutch lasted 40,000km (then I did upgrades to 200rwkw), next the single plate Exedy lasted 15,000km, next a twin plate Exedy lasted 15,000km (and was absolutely horrible to drive), and lastly the extra heavy duty single plate organic Exedy was pretty much rooted when I sold the car.

my misses will smoke you all.....

na it will be great if they get everyone off anzacs.

200kmph in a 60 zone isnt recomended, yet all the comodore drivers still persist in trying to proove there worth.

bring on the sau vs the rest drag comp.

Kristy will have some slicks on ready to go.

lol... She may smoke me but she won't smoke my missus. :yes:

Julies keen on giving it a run; she's even keen on railing it around mallala some time. :P

I was just speaking to Todd at Outlaw speed shop. Drag's won't be happening till AT LEAST next year. This was from a guy who spoke to the Manager of the track I believe. I asked if delays were still over the court case and not spending money, and aparently it is no longer the ownership court case that is causing NO money to be spent, but Bob Jane's divorce procedings. Bob has sweet FA money, and she wants half, so this is causing him to spend nothing on anywhere, as he may now lose them to his wife or have to sell them.

So there you go, rhumor mill worked overtime again :D

hopefuly due to his wife he is forced to sell the track to someone willing to put some monies into the track and facilities

    • 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.
