Its a bid sad i have to leave a car like ours at home and not put on a show for you guys at these private track hire days.

There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that they are trying to discourage these days as much as possible. You should see some of the other ridiculous rules they have.

First time on the strip with my car

60'...1.882

ET...13.216 @ 103.18mph

Good 60' and ET Joe. MPH is lower than I expected. Definitely more in it with some practice. Sorry I could be there for coaching.

I think an open letter to the Minister for Sport and Education and also a copy sent to the Roads Minister may be required. This facility's use is being governed by a management who seem to want to restrict the amount of use by road registered vehicles. When the funding for this facility was granted by the Carr government (Morris Iemma was the minister involved at the time) one of the statements made was that it will take the racing off the streets and put it on the track where it should be. They want the police to "crack down" in illegal street racing, but they make the facility that will cater for this, out of reach of the common people (big $$ race teams never have issues with hiring the track).

Well MPH would have been higher but my standard rubber tube going from the AFM to the inlet of the turbo was not strong enough to handle the heat and the flow of air, it was collapsing :thumbsup: , and the car would just die until it opened up again. So until i get a stronger pipe I'll be able to go flat chat. And yes definatly more in it :blink:

Do the v8 clubs have as many issues as the turbo clubs do? Because WSID staff are quite anti-turbo imo.

In the beginning we had terrible problems, its slowly getting better. I heard that some of the existing rules may be relaxed a little in the near future.

Most recently we have had no problems what so ever with WSID.

The only real complaint that i have is the 11.00 sec cut-off, i would love to see it at 10.00 secs if the car & driver are appropriately licensed. throw a turbo kit or nos on a commodore & you are straight away running 10's.

The cost for the day is somewhat prohibitive for some willing drivers, especially the younger drivers.

Cheers,

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      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.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
