We had some club says down there just recently, and there's some talk of doing another possibly February, or maybe middle of next year when it's cooler (you'll thank them for that idea, i promise).

Basically we did a set of mapped out cone courses which help teach braking and cornering, while having a crap-load of fun. First few laps we had instructors with some of us to help give us some pointers and then we could choose to do it ourselves or keep getting some more (very good) advice from the instructors.

Make sure you get a big group together first, it can be pretty costly if you're booking in smaller numbers.

IF you do go ahead PM me...

Always on the lookout.

www.youtube.com/superkiri - there's a shitload of clips from a SilWA day we there.

Don't expect a driftfest tho... Unless they know you can drive, there are limits on how much sliding you can do...

Join SAUWA, there is talk of another one coming up as Levi said. It is really good fun, and you learn a lot too. Not only what you are capable of, but also what your car is actually capable of :banana:

I will be planning a SAUWA driver training in Feb sometime. (probably midmonth).

I have also looked at doing a timed event in March. Everyone express's interest in doing timed events, however from what i can gather there are only a handful of members with competiton licenses (Cams, AASA). As soon as enough people with licenses get interested, we will run such events.

All events are basically Member Invites. Only if i dont fill the spot with members does it go to public SAUWA folks (this has not happened yet)....so if you want in, sign up and keep an eye out in the members area. I will be setting something up in the next few weeks. :banana:

Cheers

Brad, finally got my ass into gear and signed up to SAUWA (lodged the form and paid my fee yesterday), now I need to figure out what competition license to get.. and how to go about it.. help!

FOr the license it depends on what events you want to compete in. The AASA license is pretty much only good for AHG, where as a cams license (Speed level 2 i think it si) is good for pretty much every event (Ahg, Wanneroo, speed events, hill climb, drift etc etc )

I think (dont quote me to the dollar) but the AASA lic for 12 months is $55? and a CAMS lic is $88 per year? However, to acquire a CAMS lic you need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated club.

My recommendation is to join the NOLIMIT EVENT (www.nolimitevents.com) club. Its $12 per year. You cant join them unless you do one of thier events. They have a Wanneroo track night at the end of this months. (31st). Due to day light savings, we get to use the long track until about 8.30pm. :)

What more can i help you with? ;)

That i dont know. AASA is in Qld so i assume it would have to be pre purchased?

At the moment i think SAUWA next AHG driving event will be in March. Its very possible that Late feb we will have a Dyno day event. It will be posted up once everything is in place. :)

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
