Ive not had anything to do with the MM events but id hardly say targa events are stress full. they seem to get more and more layed back every event

if you want stress full rallies give gravel rallying a go. id rather do 5 days of pace notes than one of gravel and road books and proper timing.

the one day events like the old buller sprints and poatina mountain race I think will become far more popular as I find most people I talk to don't have the time to put into multi day events

  • 1 month later...

Have spent the last two weekends fitting new rotors & pads, new wheels, change of all fluids and had the semis put on. Car's ready to go and I'm (hopefully) just as ready.

We recce'd a few weeks ago in an awful Kia Rio hire car so the course is fairly fresh in my head too. Can't wait!

Me = another one of the lucky buggers :)

Back in with Steve in the Just Jap car as usual.

Hoping to get my platinum plate this year all going well.

You need to whisper in someone's ear about another 0 car gig Benny!

My father will be there in the R33. I'm sitting this one out while his mate navigates and ticks targa off his bucket list.

The car is ready to go after a shake down at Marulan on the weekend. Just waiting on a new set of brake pads to show up in the mail.

Good to hear everyone! Everyone seems to be fairly relaxed and ready, most unusual! Must be "old hands" at it now huh :)

Wish you all a great event, and Kel, best of luck with the Platinum my dear!

I'd of course like to be back sometime. And to be honest, I'm not really sure what it is that's keeping me away? Maybe next year :P

I did very much enjoy the course car gigs, but Sam and Dan have put a lot of effort into that side of things with Jaaaaaaag, and good on them for bringing Jag to the party I say.

Any hot tips for class/outright honors? With the Lambo out who's the team for an outright win?

I'll be a mobile speed hump this year. 5 cars to look after. High chance of podium finishes accross 3 classes. I wanted a layed back targa but I doubt that will happen.

We had launcestons un official, official targa launch last night. Was good to catch up with like minded people. The field is definatly down this year.

Wheels are in motion for 2015/16 seat. 25th anaversary should be worth attending.

BTW I think Paul's car looks fantastic

So between this one, Ben's R32 and I think there is one other R32 it should looks like a Nissan racing re-union, love it.

Once they stop pandering to the sooky Porsche drivers and let R32 into classics I reckon we will see a few more done the same way.

There's a tricky 32 in the full Neesan racing livery running rookie (driven by Dave Thompson).

Good luck everyone - catch up with you tomorrow!

    • 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.
