Well we've conquered the circuit racing / sprints scene at QR (but alot of you have probably still never heard of us!) so now we want to get known by getting into the drift scene :D our workshop is located in Coorparoo.

we would like to sponsor an amateur drift driver who lives in the Brisbane area.

the driver we choose gets free labor for all servicing, mechanical repairs and performance upgrades to ensure we keep the car running for entry in drift practices and events.

in return we would require that you regularly enter and drive in drift practice events at Queensland Raceway, drive in other local drift days, and make appearances at local cruises and dyno days etc.

we would also require the car to have our workshop signage that would be similar to the following logo:

the car would need to be presentable and the driver would need to show a high level of ability.

if this sounds like something you would like to do, send me a pm and tell me a little about your car. you will need to enter your car in the Friday night drift practice at QR on Jan 18th 2008 where I will be able to check out your driving style.

seasons greetings :P

Registering to Try out for the Sponsorship

you can either register on the night by coming to see me on pit wall at the exit of turn 6 or by sending me a pm.

details I need are your Name, Car, Suburb and Mobile No.

after the Jan 18 drift night we will contact the driver and also post the selected driver in this thread.

good luck to everyone! :)

i may get down there to check it out...i was sliding a last year but stopped to rebuild the car, if you were offering this last year i would have been there straight away, if you want details on perhaps a future deal i can PM you details of the car.

we are still looking for someone to sponsor. I will be out at QR again this Friday night for those who are interested.

I am also interested in looking at guys competing at archerfield. anyone who is interested, send me a pm to arrange a viewing.

by the way, I competed at Morgan Park supersprints on the weekend and finished 6th in class, which wasnt a bad effort considering the competition which included 2 GT40s and an ex Carrera Cup Porsche GT3 Race Car.

well done Peter , was there any other Jap cars running ?

yes there were a couple of silvias, two or three R33s, a couple of EVOs, a couple of WRX STis, and a whole bunch of 240Z - 260Zs.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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.

      Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.

      @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.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @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.
