Well, we came back for another go at the skid pan after our introduction in October and I can tell you that we're definitely hooked!

Thanks again has to go to Aaron and everyone else that make the days so enjoyable. We learnt so much and had so much fun. The missus said that the 180's and 360's were the best!

I recommend that anyone who thinks they're a good driver to prove it by giving one of these days a go :thumbsup:

Anyway, I thought I'd upload some photos I took. There's heaps more so PM me if you want any more photos of your car.

Thanks,

Brett

Daz mate.. This is the first skid pan day I've run this year!

What a quality day! Great foto's Brett. C u next time mate. I dunno about you guys, but when I got home, I was totally stuffed :( .

As u can see, there was a mix of cars.. a mix of ages and a mix of the sexes. I didn't drive as good as I could of, but with a wrapped ankle that was still swollen, I did ok! Sorry for being a bit short in the morning, the pain killers were just kicking in!

The old Val ute re-broke a control arm and the 180 would have been treated better if somebody had stolen it from the owner and his freind! I hate seeing that kind a abuse... but it was his choice to continue with the mindless thrashing. They where asked to be kinder to the poor little thing.

Anyhow, when I track down the paperwrok from Grant, I will post up the results in the Qld events section.

So everybody that wasn't at the skid day understands..

the 360's we are talking about was a fully controlled 'loose' and catch exercise which consisted of a very cool 360 spin in the middle of the pan while traveling at around 60km/h across the skid pan. We all still remained on the skid pan, and nobody had an off track adventure!

Can u do rapid shots with that camera Brett? that would be great if you could get a few shots in a row to show how it works. Send me a PM will you!

New Thread started in the Qld events section for points and stuff..

"Burst mode" is what your looking for...

Most cameras have burst, however its useless on compact DSC's as compacts are too slow...

Entry level DSLR's can do 3.5 fps+ (frames per second) and thats what you need to show movement easily, 6fps+ is essential for high speed motorsport like drag, drift and circuit racing...

Another fun shot to take at skid pan is a "pan" or "panning" shot;

(These were done with a standard non image stabilised lens, so they are not the cleanest examples)

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
