Hey... did everyone know that at the end of the August there is a Club sprint- saturday and Drift Meet- Sunday at the Ipswich Raceway... It should be a awsome weekend and we already have plans to have a few cars entered... hopefully pete will have his rev monsta back together... and the Cefiro is just begging to be driven hard at a track meet... at the moment it looks like we will head down Friday and home monday. For anyone interested contact Jay or myself and we will get you exact dates and we will hopefully be able to convoy down... It should be an interesting trip down anyway... oh... and expect a stop at Broadwater Carpark for a perve...

the rumour on the street is that at the next test and tune at benaraby we might have some double GTR action... although I think rick should reconsider and go down as well... Willo vs Dev vs Rick... now that should be neat to watch... top entertainment as far as the FRIs go... actually I think if we all hit the scene a bit we could make a fairly good impact on the Drag Scene at Benaraby... as long as the camary wagons don't beat us!!! that must have been annoying to all the Import racers that weekend... an auto Camary wagon taking home the win... anyway we might have to put a stop to that...

Another question for all... Does anyone know if there is a Skyline getting around Rocky using Nitros... A mate from the Automatic Shop told us that they filled a bottle (the automatic shop fill Nitros bottles : shamless plug ) for a guy in a four door Skyline that was headed to the Drags... now take this as a ruff description because he called it a GTR... but then said he didn't know that there were skylines other than GTR's... so if anyone knows if there is a Skyline running NOS on the weekend... or what times he/she ran... please post your info...

Anyways guys any info on upcoming events and action can be put in here... so have fun and don't be scared to tackle tuff issues in this site... just be prepared, and have your facts firmly based with books/sites to back you up... other than that it is free for all...

he he... I think your Val might need some bigger sidewalls to get the traction action happening... 18" wheels smoke like no tomorrow... I'm almost through a set of Nankangs already... it is a downer... they are cheap but still a little more expensive then 16" Feds...

Hey... I'm getting my Intercooler soon... he he he... that is me giggling like a little girl...

it'll be nice going as quick in the day as in the night...

oh... and the microtech might happen one day soon... I was running ok MPH and hopefully with a good traction run... a good tune, including microtech install (happening by my Bundy Mate as soon as the cooler kit happens) aiming for a 12... although it'll be harder than it sounds... and then the real fun begins...

actually talking of fun I heard that a certain big dollar GTR got it's arse handed to it by one very budget SR20 in a Stanza... that's what I hear anyway...

aparently Theo got chopped big time by the Stanza of Glen Hooper... you all know of Glen... he has the $4000 stanza and is a Microtech Wizz Kid... It definatly puts the big dollar GTR to shame... although I'm tipping the Stanza isn't quite as Circuit friendly as Theo's GTR... imagine trying to stop a Stanza from 300 Kph.... scary thought in my mind...

What GTR's have you got down that way? any serious ones or just stockers? Came through rocky about 6 weeks ago on a thursday night after getting some work done to my skyline on the gold coast , just about every car there was racing at the lights near our motel and I thought townsville was bad!

Hi everyone, just a update on what's going on with this Motokhana. The cost for the day is over $100 and so really too expensive however I am trying to organise some interested people to come down and spectate and show support so that when we run another one up here at Gracemere it will be at a cheaper cost.

It sucks, I won't be able to make it to the test and tune on the 16th. I was really looking forward to it but I need to do some CAMS training down in Gladstone instead.

Oh and having a head cold really SUCKS!:(

    • 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.  
    • 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.
