Can we take passengers?

Is this limited to skyline owners?

Not limited to Skylines - will need to check wrt passenger, is the passenger going to be registered on the day and running as well? Otherwise Derecks insurance may not allow.

I will be PMing my bank details to everyone over the next day or two. With this number of people it is fine to go ahead, if more show interest will look at expanding the session, but at this stage will be staying to 4 hours in the morning. Most likely people will get 3 runs of 15 minutes each at least, and perhaps a 4th short run. Happy to try some different things on the day if people show interest. But at the moment it will consist of 2 cars being on the track at once, normally 1 is on end the other on the other.

The skidpan is big enough to handle 2 cars at a time. If people have any other ideas or suggestions, happy to hear them.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
