Oscar, how the hell did you manage the 11.7 in RWD ?

Easy exactly same procedure as AWD. Long smoky burnout, launch on limiter and hang on.

I was still getting wheelspin on the 3-4th change at over 100mph :) I'm sure if I practised more I would get low 11's

I heard something about another accident that only just missed a small pole

Another street drifters close encounter with a gutter. Heard it was suspension damage only.

Any more details yet Cameron?

I'm all set for the drags again tomorrow. :D

Anyone needing S13 parts should come & see me or pm me if you don't know me. I am still stripping Ryan's old '92 Silvia shell and there is not much left.

Best bits available would be the front seats, all glass, rear subframe complete, minor interior parts and shell rear of the A pillars.

What ever is left in a few weeks time will be going to the wreckers or crusher. All cheap especially if you want to take the bits off yourself.

Dunno if you guys know yet but its $100 to enter the 1320 event. i wonder why the price hike?

What do you mean ? Dudes are coming from the US and you think it's gonna be like an off street meet ? Bracket racing in super street is about as expensive as that normally if you don't have a s/st ANDRA license, and even more expensive in super sedan ($125 + license). And it's $80 if you nominate now, $100 on day. It will be extra to have a one day license too.

I'm wondering how strict the scruteneering will be. If they are relaxed about it that will really piss me off as the only reason I'm not racing is because of ANDRA rules. Both cars are ready to rock mechanically but R32 still needs battery isolator, fit new 5 point seat/rail, 5 point harness, side intrusion bar on cage, tailshaft loop, new race gear, $9 a litre unleaded, upgrade to group 3 unlimited ANDRA license, parachute yada yada yada. It just goes on and on. I just need to get the R32 back out there to see where I'm at. You guys have no idea the money that's been poured into my GTRs. (could've had an R35 already put it that way) :)

Good news for this event is tail shaft loop is only required in the 10 sec zone (ANDRA says 11) but harnesses will be enforced in the 11 sec zone OR 110 mph. I've tried telling everyone - don't say you were not warned.

I spoke to Andrew Cole today over the phone and scrutineering won't be any different to any other meet. So whatever you normally do to prepare your ca for racing is what will be required on the day. Hope to see you out there Ben.

the weekend was good with lots of good races, carmelo was running strong all day after the snapped axle.

i had my car on the dyno the other day to see how the afr are so here is the dyno sheet....... its running at 10:2 AFR so it really rich but should be getting that sorted when dr.drift comes up.

i am pulling this turbo off soon to send back and be updated to a more responsive turbo

    • 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.
