For those who don't know about M3 Challenge it's a PC game created to publicise the release of the latest BMW M3.

To download it (its free) go to www.m3-challenge.com

The SAU Challenge:

Had enough practice? Then post up your times and include:

- The track

- The level of electronic assists you used ie traction control, stability control, ABS

I'm still mega sh*t so I need more practice before I crack a decent lap.

GREAT :thumbsup:

the team did better than expected 12th outright - was as good as a win for them. They got a podium for the Carrera Cup race as well. Got to spend the 2 days in the teams corporate area with the sponsors and Porsche drivers.

didn't get to talk to Brighty though, just g'day as he walked past

i think i can knock off a second or 2 off that lap as it included a small visit to the grassy bits

at the moment thats as fast as i can get

wow that's quick considering you did it with no aids!

I just did a 2.24.288 with TCS off, DSC on, and ABS o

i have been playing SIMS from this company for nearly 3 years now so i am used to how they drive.

lets pick a track and all do that one yeah?

my time will be shit but when i try again will be aids off

and since Nick posted time first on Nurburgring GP lets keep that as the benchmark?

I was really impressed with Bowe running in the top 10, it's a pity he didn't finish there. But still a great job! I was looking for you throughout the coverage but JB's garage wasn't covered too well.

I managed to knock off .400 off that time as well but that's pretty much my limit. Now I'm trying with all assists off.

i just had a look into the lap times of some of the Europeans and they are down to 2.11 - 2.13 around the GP with no aids !!!!!

how depressing

i spent most of the time when the car was out on track in the PCR corporate areas with their Carrera Cup drivers, some top blokes in there

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
