Im trying to get some stickers made for Chris's car atm.... there is several of us getting them :laugh:

Windscreen banners front and rear..... they are appropriate but that's all Im saying :)

Don't think they will be ready in time though :down:

So thats the secret plan, huh Chris?

All this time throwing us off track with new turbo this, new diff that, and really your going all out on mass HP increases with stickers!

Cunning mate, very cunning.

i might now be in this. a mate is 90% chance of not being ready and offered me his entry. it's just a matter of getting the silvia or 32 track worthy and strapping on my cojones and getting amongst it. maybe I should do what all the "smart" guys are doing and get a pro to do the driving for me so I can devote all my time to running my mouth. so dundan? wanna be my pro driver?

I'm pretty keen, but one of my hates is rushing around last minute to get ready for a track day, so I'm not sure I'm up to putting myself through that this week!

basically the choice is between:

1100kg with this: post-3621-1214978901_thumb.jpg

or 1500kg with this: post-3621-1214978978_thumb.jpg

for the silvia I just need to:

rebuild 2 calipers

fluid flush

fix up the seat a little

fit the new greddy intercooler

take it easy as no oil cooler

for the R32 I need to:

get fluids changed (the whole lot)

get wheel alignment

chuck some pads in it

maybe whack on some different tyres

fit my seat in (easy)

fit my harness (easy)

tough call.

lol. GTR would be good. I'm really torn. I just thought about it more. the GTR has bone stock suspension. the silvia has coil-overs, 2 way, adjustable castor rods, rear upper arms and traction rods, pinapples, GTST lower arms, adjustbale strut tops and good brakes for it's weight.... the plot thickens.

either way it seems I'll get punished by the weevil! why bother turning up!! :laugh:

The Zed lost brakes on the weekend and I just got it sorted with a new MC,

looking forward to this big time, see if I can beat at least one home. :laugh:

But as Richard quite rightly noted, Chris will be hard to beat.

    • 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.
    • 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.
