20/12/08 Willowbank Pre-test N Tune Session - 3 Hours


Recommended Posts

Any who wish to stay on for TNT after we finish are welcome to at no extra expense.

The time issue is this;

We originally hired a 3hr window due to the large interest showed at the enquiry stage to members about numbers.

QR set a minimum number of vehicles at 30 for a 2hr slot at a preset track hire rate, addition cost for extra hour/s above initial booking.

We did the math-carried the 5- and worked out an extra 10 cars would cover the next hr and not take time out of peoples runs on the strip from 30 into the 2hrs which was roughly 4 runs each.

When the paid numbers remained so far below the required target we nearly had to cancel the event.

It is with the true kindness that QR have displayed by allowing us to run without 30 cars in the first place that has enabled the Event to continue, however, we were unable to do an extra hour at the rates we have charged.

So, this comes as a request from me to 'you all' to allow us a 'bit of grace' with the changes we have had to make to get the event off the table & you into your cars to post some times, rather than cancel it altogether.

I hope this answers a few questions to any who are interested

$48 from 2pm to 4pm... I thought it was originally 1pm to 4pm??

this price still does not include Test'N'Tune afterwards right? Is there a discount if we stay for Test'N'Tune?

Willowbank set the price, not us.

40 cars - 3 hours. Everyone wanted drags, we gave them drags. Comes time to pay and no one is keen. Anything less then 40 cars is 2 hours (set by willowbank) just like the pricing

cmon ppl pay up and have a crack at the strip, i have paid yet i am unable to go. either way i have paid so if someone wants my spot as a chrissy present and i dont even know you then pm me and ill give you my spot for free. ill then let toddls know of who is taking my place. SOMEONE GO AND SUPPORT THIS DAMN EVENT. FOR FU#KS sake. I dont want QR to not let us have this event again due to lack of support. we are lucky to be going ahead with this at all!!!!

Sad times ehh...........

A previous pre-Test N tune I attended we were allowed to continue at no extra cost, just had to get reissued with a new racing number :P

Who knows, might lucky again.

Hey Guys, question on the spectators??

Is there a cost for extra spectators???

Like if I were to rock up with 5 people for example?

i have a feeling there is an extra cost , but im sure if we stop and organise it just before we get there we can shuffle our mates off to other cars with just a driver and get us all in for free

sweet.Unfortunatley i can only go as a spectator, my fuel pump is dieing and i dont trust it , i havent got the time to change it.Anyone from the sunshine coast wanting to head to this toogether , jump on the sunny coast thread and we will work something out.

should be good fun me and a mate are both coming from bundy lol both running similar crappy kkr setups but should still go alrite i guess lol

Edited by l0WRB

.40C pots? im so there. I wana see how your link goes after a few flogins 10wrb. I have since found the link distributor and wouldnt go elsewhere if u still want a tuner for ur ecu

Come on. Who doesnt want to spank a glittery R34 down the strip!

Edited by coaster

for the record. im taking my glittery possibly stock turbo standard ecu r34 down the strip. come and prove this thing is slow. i dare you!

Havent confirmed with sau but im sure they wont turn down any of the spot payments??? Come for a squirt against some of the fastest cars on track! Wish i still had my old one.

lol ok...

bloody my mates got the new g4 link and same setup as me cept standard inlet manifold etc and it pulls so much better grr lol

swear it has torque and mine doesnt lol and he runs 17psi and im up around 19/20psi

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
