Next Moto Concepts Track Day, Eastern Creek, 2nd October 2003.


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

Here we go again.

I will speak to Dave Stone in the next few days to see how many spots he can give us @ $180 (approx) each but again I MUST get deposits off people or there is not going to be spots kept for them.

SO... I need to know expressions of interest soon and deposits ($50) MUST BE IN NO LATER THAN THE 19th of September. I will be in homebush on Sunday morning and at the SAU General Meeting (open to everybody, only members can have a say).

THIS IS NOT AND OFFICIAL SKYLINES AUSTRALIA EVENT.

You will need as usuall.

Full Face helmut

non-flamable Clothing. (Jeans and a cotton longsleve shirt)

Covered shoes.

Road worthy car (Basically just check for oil leaks and if it is regoed you will be fine)

$130 (balance of payment, this is easier if it is cash)

Full tank of fuel... you normally drive about 300kms in a full day at the creek... basing you fuel consumption on my average track consumption of 26L/100kms you can see that I have to head out and fill up between one of the sessions.

Tis a good idea to check all fluid levels and make sure you have at least half your front break pads left. Also advisable to bring a bottle of octaine booster with you.

Cheers,

Dan.

ahh, some members of the team have reappeared :D

Yes Duncan - it would appear that not all of us have the same flexibility with our clients as others. lol

I've got my co-driver back as well.

I'll be in the middle of moving house that week so I think I'll need the time out!

Neil puts hand up,,,I want more,,,. Carlo and Doughboy me thinks if it's $180 it's gotta be a whole day.

Ah Bonkers will be nice to catch up with you again,,,Been a while buddy.

Neil.

Wow... nice to see team track day still has it!

Updated Above.

Carlo,

Tis a full day. (That goes for you two DoughBoy!)

Bonkers,

It will most likely be $180 for the car if your only driving in one session (eg only session B) and $20 for the extra driver. It will be $180 each if your both driving a session each (eg Session A and Session B).

So where is Silver and Dino (I think he is in Paris) and akira and Prank and shit the list goes on!

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
