Yeh two issue in a row and fingers crossed I was running a phot comp with SAU and HPI and that should be in the in the next issue Not sure though. It will be along the lines of how to take good pics, I did not write it but the pictures are from SAU members so that should be good.

The times were utter bullshit. The autosports cars WERE NOT the fastest on the day, and they weren't doing anywhere near the 1:06's claimed by the author.

The fastest car on the day was Dumhed in the black NA silvia. He overtook both of the autosports cars reasonably easily and he was running 1:09-1:10 all day

A few of us timed the autosport cars at 1:10-1:12 consistantly

don't worry, I told wheels magazine that I was doing 1:04s all day, and 1:05's on Nankangs, but using my feet for extra push down the straight.

At first they didn't believe me, but I just yelled "GTR!" at them until they thought I must be a professional race driver.

Hey just to let people know I was given this information by people on the day Brad gave me his times as he stated that he was timed doing 1:06:XX but sitting around the 1:10 bracket for most of the day. Remember there where no offical times out their. Offical timers from now on I say. And no offence for pissing people off with the times Club exposure was more my concern.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
