So you don't remember the nice old guy that log booked your car at wakie,,,he's be a srcut for donkeys years and a man that you should get on a 1st name bases with.

Neil.

That would be Lance, he's a really lovely man... just dunno where Cary Butchers came into it, I thought you thought that it was Lance.

oki doki,,,I might have the name wrong,,,but he was a grey haired old man,,,.

Neil.

hey Neil, why don't you run in this one... www.irace.net.au - I am

Please don't watch it on telly, I know I'll stuff up LOL

Very off topic here sweety,,start a new one in Motorsport.

Another mod thinks we are open-wheeler love children.

Neil.

Wahhh???? *is confused* haha we are checking for damaged helmets. aka cracks & stuff.

lol like the front visor thingy, do you needed it?

No, i dont - they look shite anyway IMO

ahm mm

im confused...

Albert, as long as ADR approved and in good condition its ok :P

yeah yeah it is, there one sticker on the visor and one on the back of the helmet,

coz i full cbf put the visor down, sweaty n fog n shit :P

anyone taking a tyre guage - one thing i dont got lol :(

Chris I have a spare il bring for you....

Its not mechanical, kinchrome digital... we compared it to the mechanical one of Daves and its actually pretty accurate!! ... or you can wait in turn to use the good one! it glows in the dark... hence why I like it.... :P

p.s Corinne... BBC??? suciton cap.... therefore safely mounted yes??? :P

Albert,,,it's all cool mate,,,I'm thinking you are talking about the visor ,in a car with windows and a roof it doesn't matter.

You can do the hell what ever you like with the visor.Use it,,,don't use it whatever.

Help is only a question away and please ask.

Neil

Operation track bish completed at 10.30pm.... :P Massive thanks to Dave :P

Smoky, big thanks for the use of the rims for the slicks.... the design of them means they only JUST clears the caliper!!!

Cars packed, bags are packed, tools are packed.... think we are ready!!!

cool. so do we have to have "hans" devices?

and do we all have to have our sump plug and gearbox plugs lock wired?

what about the fire extingisher? its usaly just tek screwed in, is this ok?

and since our cars are all rated to over 2.5litres (turbo multiplier) do we have to have 3 litre catch cans?

also do we have to remove all window tint?

will we be black flagged for not running valve caps on our tyres?

do we have to drain our coolant and refil with a non glycol based inhibiter?

do we need window nets?

and if we have a harness does it have to be in date?

are secondary bonnet locks needed?

what about anti shatter adhesive covers to glass light lenses?

do we need a cams approved tail shaft loop?

lets be seriouse here lol.

things like floor mats, spare tyre( held in with bolts, and passed adr crash tests..) fine. no major oil leaks and nothing baulky loose in the cabin. thats about it. just common sence.

suction cuped electronics are allowed. your waring a helmet so what can it do to you......lets not be assholes like a phillip island..

its not a full on cams target scrutineering sesson peeps.

its turn up, get all the loose shit out of the car, on with your helmet and away you go. if we are going to be full on captain cams, (confederation against motor sport) then all the items i listed above need to be implemented, and some. or its just a half assed crock.. lol :P

lets just be realistic here.. cheeres :P

Wakefield are now even selling in car cameras... have a look when you sign up, they're on the shelf next to the helmets. My suction one is also rated to 150mph and has passed CAMS scrutineering in the past, but its up to the Chief Steward to make the final decision either way, so can change accordingly at their discretion.

Cool I havent seen there cameras,I will check them out cause looking for one to go in my car :(

I took my visor off Albert found it got in the way at times. Like the others said you dont need it down in the car..I put it back on the helmet when I go karting :P

I do find sunglasses help loads when the sun comes out on the track, can get a bit glary...but it's all personal preference..

Is there going to be shirts for this track day?? Like last time?

oh thanks Neil :P

again lol

yeah thats what i meant..

mm

omg

the rims i bought wont clear my calipers :P

The rims wont clear at all or just rubs? Are you using spacers?

maybe the wheel weights are hitting the calipar..

hahaha... yes!! Smoky's rims I borrowed had that issue.... yep.. all fits, *spins wheels* and bang... the weights caught on the caliper!!

Definitely check that out Albert... if you need spacers, I have a spare set of 15mm ones somewhere... il bring em to the track...

hi everyone! anyone else not receive their cams license from texi yet?? i tried ringing them too but number on their website goes unanswered.. or is it because they aren't in yet?

Also my brake pedal went to the floor last night, i hope i have enough time/talent to bleed them tonight or theres no wakie for me :(

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
