Ha, my PC crashed in my last post....

anyway to recap ...cue timewarp wavy screen ....

I just watched the qualifier event the yanks had before d1 AND.....

OMIGOD!!! that is some of the most unbelievably shithouse driving (I wouldn't go as far as calling it drifting!!!!)

There was more understeer than anything else.... the yanks seem to think they are "fully sick drift kings bro", but the complete opposite seems to be true. For examples check out drift tengoku vol.14.

at least the Japs they brought out there would help a bit to make it worth seeing.

I wonder how long it will be before some kind of national drift comp series gets going here?

cheers,

After going to the latest round of V8 supercars at Oran Park I became really excited with an idea ( not the first time )

They fill in time between support races and the main event with a couple of bricklayers utes doin there best to make some smoke. At least the Falcon sounded alright as it bounced off limiter with a limo diff that actually works unlike the crummydore!

But how good would it be to have a couple of mad drift'ers in D1 style machines linking the track in some classic team drift.

Gives the opotunity for some of our own technical garages and modifying workshops to throw some products at a promo car and give the sport a bit more exposure.

YES! drifting needs to be promoted- but only in a responsible sense that doesn't make it into the fully sick "carpark drifter" spectacle its become in america...

I think a national series, an aussie D1 type event (but with more amateur classes obviously becuase the pros just aren't there), would be good.

cheers,

      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.
