hi lads,

just wondering if someone could fill me in on the times, places and dates of when drift practice events are on in sydney or within an 1-2 hours drive from sydney?

so far ive got friday nights in oran, and once a month in eastern creek......is there anything else?

is oran a good track to drift? hi speed or small?

are any of the tracks wet down?

are there many drifters on this site? does anyone know of any eastern creek skid pan events in the pipeline?

thanks in advance.

cheers for the reply's lads.

one more question.....anyone what the story is with doing some practice on the oran park skid pan? you have to have some sort of insurance for the day with eastern creek, just wondering if oran were the same and if they take people on their own or groups only?

Eastern creek and the ardc very rarely book out the skid circuit now to clubs, its more driver training, or you need to book through their driver trainers...

Oran park you can hire out the skid pan with no insurance, however it does book out quite quickly and most weekends would be booked out!

www.autosports.com.au have motorkhana days on the skid pan there a bit, however during the year www.initialdrift.com.au have many days on Oran Park North, South and some GP days I think? Some members from SAU NSW have done a few days with them at OP, really fun days out!

There is also another group called www.projectd.com.au

Hope that helps mate

;)

a skid pan day would be sweet, but f**king hell 4k! ouch! you would need quite a few members to get the cost down low enough

      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.
